Low power mobile internet devices using LTE technology

Abstract

LTE is the first cellular communications standard that has been designed from the start for delivering internet content to mobile devices. This will enable a whole new set of applications and devices that are currently beyond our imagination. While new devices will easily consume orders of magnitude more data delivered over the cellular communication pipe than their early 2G counter parts, the challenge for low power consumption remains. LTE not only promises higher data rates, it also offers lower power consumption on a per bit basis than any preceding cellular communications standard thus making it ideal for battery powered data hungry devices.
