ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 Question 27
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2026 — Question 27 of 60
LTE (Long Term Evolution) — the cellular standard for wireless broadband on mobile devices and data terminals.
LTE is carried by mobile network operators over licensed spectrum and provides wide-area broadband to phones, tablets and data terminals, which is exactly the scope described.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) IEEE 802.11 — wireless LAN (Wi-Fi); broadband, but local-area and unlicensed, not a mobile telecommunication standard
- (c) NFC — near-field communication, a range of a few centimetres for tap-to-pay and pairing
- (d) UWB — ultra-wideband, high bandwidth over short distances, used for precise ranging rather than mobile access
Key rule: Sort wireless standards by range: NFC centimetres, UWB metres, Wi-Fi a building, LTE a city. "Mobile devices and data terminals" points at the cellular end of that scale.
