EVDO (Evolution-Data Optimized) is not classified as 4G technology. It is a third-generation (3G) technology used primarily for mobile broadband services. EVDO is an enhancement to the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network and offers higher data speeds compared to earlier 3G technologies but does not meet the criteria for 4G.
What is EVDO technology?
EVDO is a 3G wireless technology designed for high-speed data transfer. It is an evolution of CDMA technology that provides faster data speeds for mobile internet and data services. EVDO is often used in cellular networks to offer improved performance for web browsing, email, and other data-intensive applications. It operates in the 800 MHz or 1900 MHz frequency bands and supports speeds that are faster than standard 3G but are lower compared to 4G technologies.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) is considered 4G technology. It represents a significant advancement over previous 3G technologies, offering faster data speeds, lower latency, and improved overall performance. LTE meets the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) definition of 4G, providing enhanced mobile broadband services.
4G technology is available in Poland. Major mobile network operators in the country have rolled out 4G LTE networks, providing high-speed mobile internet access across various regions. This coverage includes major cities and urban areas, offering users faster data speeds and improved connectivity compared to earlier generations of mobile technology.
