FierceWireless will introduce a "5G E" logo on newer phones connected to the 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard for wireless communication, despite the fact the phones will not be connected to a 5G network, according to AT&T. The "E" refers to "5G Evolution", which FierceWireless uses to describe networks that are not 5G but are faster than traditional LTE. T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray accused FierceWireless of "duping customers".
