However these days fewer devices require 2G connectivity and so the operator is shifting more of the spectrum in order to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> based Mobile Broadband performance.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of that, more than 600 sites across cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff, will be upgraded with the latest 4G spectrum over the next 6 months. The sites will power the next wave of mobile devices to hit the UK market, equipped with &#8220;<em>Cat 12<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Cat 16<\/em>&#8221; modems.<\/p>\n<p>The operator already claims to have the &#8220;<em>largest 4G+ footprint for both Cat 6 and Cat 9 modems<\/em>.&#8221; In theory the best Cat 6 devices (i.e. most 4G Smartphones built over the past few years) should be able to deliver Mobile Broadband speeds of up to 300Mbps, while Cat 9 (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S6 onwards) will do up to 450Mbps. By comparison Cat 16 reflects the very latest devices and pushes close to Gigabit territory (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/07\/ee-uk-nears-gigabit-speed-4g-mobile-wembley-test-hits-765mbps.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Marc Allera, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We keep investing in our network, and using our technology leadership to make sure customers are getting the most out of the latest smartphones. Customers need to be on 4G, getting the best out of their new devices with the highest quality phone calls and the fastest mobile data speeds. We\u2019re converting 2G into 4G, because that\u2019s what our customers need. So if you are choosing a new smartphone, the message is simple: there\u2019s only one UK network that offers the best smartphone experience.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The operator claims that it&#8217;s 4G network now covers 85% of the United Kingdom&#8217;s landmass (c.99% population coverage) and the upgrade should mean that those with the latest Smartphones benefit by &#8220;<em>doubling the data upload speeds<\/em>&#8221; from the current maximum of 50Mbps and up to 100Mbps via more than 900 sites across the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>In reality such capacity needs to be shared between many users and the signal quality does vary, which means that most people will probably experience considerably slower performance than the theoretical claims. However some people may be using the service at just the right time and in just the right location to benefit from ultrafast style performance.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth remembering that different parts of EE\u2019s network are at different stages of development and performance isn\u2019t all about spectrum. The operator has also introduced other upgrades, such as <strong>4&#215;4 MIMO<\/strong> and <strong>256QAM<\/strong> (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) technology, both of which can help to improve speeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile operator EE (BT) has today announced that they intend to further boost the top speeds and reliability of their &#8220;superfast&#8221; 4G based mobile data network by converting (&#8220;refarming&#8220;) another 10MHz of radio spectrum in the 1800MHz band from older 2G services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[61,405,60],"class_list":["post-14583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-4g","tag-ee","tag-mobile-broadband"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
