What is LAA?

LAA stands for Licensed Assisted Access. It's a technology that utilizes both licensed and unlicensed spectrum (typically the 5 GHz band, also used by Wi-Fi) to increase mobile data speeds. LAA aggregates LTE (Long-Term Evolution) in the licensed spectrum with LTE in the unlicensed spectrum. This allows mobile operators to offload traffic onto the less congested unlicensed spectrum, boosting bandwidth and improving user experience. It is commonly used in areas with high mobile data demand.
