LTE is a common standard covering both FDD and TDD flavors, enableing the industry to build common FDD/TDD infrastructure, common devices, and a large common ecosystem. LTE and its evolution LTE Advanced play a critical role in addressing the 1000x increase in mobile data.
Qualcomm has been leading LTE proliferation from the very beginning— from the industry-first Gobi LTE/3G multimode, common FDD/TDD modems to the current third-generation solutions that powered the world’s first LTE Advanced carrier-aggregation launch in June 2013.

Higher peak
data rates
1The typical bursty nature of usage, such as web browsing, means that aggregated carriers can support more users at the same response (user experience) compared to two individual carriers, given that the for carriers are partially loaded which is typical
in real networks. The gain depends on the load and can exceed 100% for fewer users (less loaded carrier) but less for many users. For completely loaded carrier, there is limited capacity gain between individal carriers and aggregated carriers,
Higher user data rates
and lower latencies for
all users
