Recently there is sudden rise of updates regarding 5G, the next of 4G. Even India, who is often left behind to global telecom standards has been gearing up to welcome 5G. 

Telecom industry is referring Gigabit LTE as next of current 4G/LTE offering; Gigabit LTE is also being advertised as 5G. Many experts use the term LTE Advanced Pro, but Qualcomm promotes the term 'Gigabit LTE'. Technically Gigabit LTE means LTE to offer 1Gbps download speed. 

Chinese equipment vendor ZTE explains Gigabit LTE as pre-5G or key to 5G, paving the way for a comprehensive evolution from 4G to 5G. Technically we may even call it as 4.9G. 

Road to LTE to Gigabit LTE:
