LTE and EV-DO have two different network architectures. LTE is designed to optimize data over wireless networks. EV-DO is a 3G technology and LTE is a 4G technology. LTE improves the speed and efficiency of data over a wireless network significantly improving the customer experience browsing, downloading etc.
4G is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. LTE is the premium technology to deliver 4G. Other technologies such as WiMax can also be used to create 4G wireless network.
3G is the generic abbreviation for 3rd generation. It is the wireless technology that initially enabled internet browsing over wireless networks. An example of 3G technology is EV-DO. 4G is the generic abbreviation for 4th generation.
