LTE Advanced

The next major network to increase data download and upload speeds is called, "LTE Advanced." LTE advanced will have the capacity of aggregating up to 5 carriers to increase data speeds, such as browsing the web, making a phone call, and even watching videos. Data speeds when aggregated or combined can

provide up to 1 Gbps but in the real world with everyone using it, you will most likely get around 150 Mbps which is still crazy fast.

LTE Advanced will also bring in a new type of Radio Based Station called, "Small Cells" which is optimized for much larger Range Expansions and still provide blazing fast speeds.

Another feature that will be provided in the future for cell phones will be Advanced Antenna Techniques, which can go up to 8x8 MIMO (Multiple-input and multiple-output, the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance). Currently the MIMO for today is 2x2 so it could be a big leap but will bring most of the antenna gain to the cell phones
