Question: is gigabit lte the same as 5g?
Answer: 4x4 MIMO: Gigabit LTE uses more antennas than earlier LTE iterations, but not at the Massive MIMO stage that will be prevalent in 5G. Most LTE devices can simultaneously receive data on two antennas using 2x2 MIMO technology. ... In LTE 64-QAM each signal carries 6 bits; in Gigabit LTE 256-QAM it's 8.
