lte over wifi

Last updated on 

LTE is a standard for wireless broadband communication, typically used for mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. It provides high-speed data transfer and is commonly used for internet access on mobile networks. LTE operates on licensed spectrum bands allocated to mobile operators by regulatory authorities.

Wi-Fi, on the other hand, is a wireless networking technology that allows devices to connect to a local area network (LAN) without the need for physical cables. Wi-Fi is commonly used in homes, offices, and public spaces to enable wireless internet access.

Here's a basic overview of how this might work:

  1. LTE Connection: The device with LTE capability establishes a connection to the mobile network using LTE technology.
  2. Wi-Fi Tethering/Hotspot: The device then creates a Wi-Fi hotspot or enables Wi-Fi tethering. This turns the device into a wireless access point.
  3. Wi-Fi Connectivity: Other devices (e.g., smartphones, laptops, tablets) can connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot created by the LTE-enabled device.
  4. Internet Access: Once connected, these devices can access the internet through the LTE connection of the original device.
