Network Quality Comparison 4g LTE X And Y in Campus UMSU

Abstract

Abstract Long Term Evolution (LTE) the fourth generation (4G) cellular network technology. This LTE speed in data transfer speed reaching 100 Mbps on the side downlink and 50 Mbps on the uplink side. Growth in the number of service users telecommunication in Medan City causes a decrease in network quality, especially 4G LTE technology. By doing a driving test, the area can be found where a system’s signal strength aims to increase the signal quality. Benchmark (comparison) of operator service quality 4G LTE is done by measuring, comparing, and analyzing network quality (performance) of two 4G LTE operators around Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra. Total operator throughput value X is only 0 > 3 Mbps while the Y operator is 0 > 30 Mbps. The low throughput value is caused by high user traffic during the day. The incidence of low throughput on the Muhammadiyah University of North Sumatra campus coincides with active learning with many students using data services.
