LTE in 4G stands for Long Term Evolution. LTE is a major improvement over the 3G Network Speed. 4G LTE is an entirely different mobile technology for Data alone and voice can be carried on this network as data after necessary conversion.

Evolution of Networks
While 4G LTE is a major improvement over 3G speeds, it is technically not 4G. However, most cellular carriers like MTN, GLO, AIRTEL and 9Mobile now advertise their networks as 4G LTE because it sounds the same as 4G. 4G LTE even sounds better than 4G.
