SFR announces that it launches the 4G + up to 500Mbits / s in a first city

SFR has announced the launch of 4G + up to 500Mbits / s. In Bordeaux now, and in more than 10 major cities by the end of 2018, SFR customers with a 4G package and a compatible terminal will enjoy, at no additional cost, significantly increased flows. 19659002] The 4G + up to 500Mbit / s is an evolution of the 4G standard. Thanks to the aggregation of four 4G frequency bands (LTE 800 MHz, LTE 1800 MHz, LTE 2600 MHz and also LTE2100), the 4G + up to 500Mbit / s is able to provide a theoretical maximum throughput of 593 Mbit / s, thus offering unmatched comfort and navigation speed in mobility.

With a compatible and undercover 4G + terminal up to 500Mbit / s, the uses accelerate considerably: a series of 10 episodes can be downloaded in 1 minute against 2 minutes in 4G + up to 300Mbit / s, 100 photos in 5 seconds for 10 in 4G + up to 300Mbit / s. SFR already markets many devices compatible with 4G + up to 500Mbit / s: Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S9, Apple iPhone 8 and iPhone X, Huawei P20 or Sony Xperia XZ Premium. 19659002] In addition, 4G + up to 500Mbit / s allows all 4G-equipped SFR customers in the covered area to benefit from an increased average throughput. Indeed, the deployment of the 4G on an additional frequency band (LTE 2100MHz) can increase the total capacity of the 4G network and thus increase the 4G speeds it offers. Thus, with the arrival of 4G + up to 500Mbit / s, customers equipped with 4G naturally benefit from a significant improvement in the quality of service and comfort of navigation.

SFR also announces that 'it will offer 4G speeds at 1Gbit / s, before the arrival of the 5G expected for 2020.
