What is LTE Cat 6?

LTE Cat-6 (LTE Category 6) is an LTE user equipment (UE) category that defines the performance and specifications – such as data rate, power, type of modulation, bandwidth, etc. – of LTE Cat 6 UE. LTE Cat 6 UEs are based on LTE-A technology with a downlink data rate of 301.5 Mbit/s and an uplink data rate of 51.0 Mbit/s. They utilize MIMO (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) and Carrier Aggregation (2x20 MHz) technology to enable higher data speed, quality gaming experience, HD content anywhere, real-time video, and more benefits. LTE Cat 6 UEs support 2 or 4 layers of spatial multiplexing in downlink (DL).
