Are your comfy with 3G? 4G is coming……

When third generation of wireless technology entered in the US market in 2003, it created a buzz among the people. They were able to use voice and data services simultaneously. 3G technology provided considerably more upload and download capacity for surfing the Internet. It was offering data transmission rates of 384kbps in a moving vehicle and 2Mbps data rate for walking or stationary users. Today, almost all well-known carriers of United States are providing 3G services and there are several gadgets or mobile devices available in the market with 3G capability.
3G has completely changed the way users were using mobile phones. Before 3G, they were using mobile phones only for communication and messaging. But after the launch of 3G, mobile phones were also used for Internet browsing and making a video call. In a single word, mobile phones became Smartphones.
However, the next advanced version of 3G technology, 4G is coming. This technology will provide very speedy wireless Internet access in your hands via mobile phones. The flexibility of 4G technologies to be used in combination with CDMA and GSM networks has provided it an edge over any other technologies. This new technology offers download speed of 1Gbps for low mobility communication i.e. stationary or walking users and 100Mbps for high mobility communication i.e. user traveling in cars and trains.
4G is depicted as MAGIC, which means Mobile Multimedia, Anytime Anywhere, Global mobility support, Customized personal service. The primary features of 4G technology is

• High usability of network anytime, anywhere and with any technology.
• Integrated Services
• Personalization.
• Support for different multimedia services at low cost.

There are two 4G cellular broadband networks –

1. WiMAX – It provides upload speed of 56Mbps and download speed of 128Mbps.
2. LTE (Long Term Evolution) – It provides upload speed of 50Mbps and download speed of 100Mbps.

4G technology will wipe the 3G technology from mobile phones, see yourself -

Technology	3G	4G
Data rate	384kbps – 2Mbps	100Mbps – 1Gbps
Switching	Circuit/Packet	Packet
Frequency Band	1.8 – 2.5 GHz	2 – 8 GHz
Network	CDMA2000, EV-DO, UMTS, EDGE, IxRTT	WiMAX, LTE
Access	W-CDMA	VSF-OFCDM, VSF-CDMA

With 4G technology, you will be able to watch and download high definition movies and videos. The higher data transmission rate will enhance your browsing experience and will give the browsing power similar to your computer browsing power. It is the very latest and ultra fast technology, which is getting very popular day by day, even though it is in an initial stage.
When the Smartphone with all advanced features is merged with the power of 4G technology, then the result which will come is what you have never seen before.
