We have seen and use the 2G (second generation) technology and
3G (third generation) technology. They are some old and current
technologies for internet. When the speed and reliability of 2G was not
enough, the 3G technology was developed. This 3G technology offered the
world with new possibilities of using internet. With faster speed and
greater reliable network than 2G, the 3G surely satisfied many users
around the world.However, in this day and age, the demand for internet has become much greater. People are now seeking for more speed, good reliability and good network as the current facilities are not enough. This growing demand has become too much pressure on 3G and it is now unable to hold anymore stress. Therefore, a new generation technology, a successor of 3G technology is now being developed. It is a 4G or fourth generation wireless technology.
It is being said that the 4G technology will greatly surpass the 3G in every way. Its introduction will offer a greater capacity, even faster speed and more reliable networks. The 4G wireless technology will also offer a greater coverage which even 3G was unable to do. It doesn’t matter whether you are traveling or you are in a far away location, the 4G will surely enable you to access internet from any device which support internet. This means that, not only you can access faster speed from home, but also you can enjoy the faster speed from your mobile phones. Currently, many mobile operators are in a process of changing their networks according to 4G technology so they can provide 4G service ASAP. Some operators will use WiMAX and some will be operating the LTE technology.
WiMAX And LTE
WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, some sort of a faster Wi-Fi, is a technology which comes under the brand of 4G technology. WiMAX have its own benefits but it will most beneficial for only those mobile operators who are using latest spectrum bands.
LTE or lont-term evolution is also another technology which comes under the brand of 4G technology. It is very similar to WiMAX. Upgrading the current 3G networks to LTE is easier than upgrading to WiMAX and it is capable to giving a full support to the spectrum bands.
There is not much of difference between the WiMAX and LTE. Both of these technologies are a part of 4G. Thus, we can understand that both of these technologies will offer a greater speed.
The speed of 4G technology is it important feature. The researchers have found that it is capable of providing a maximum speed of 1GBps when the user is not in motion and 100MBps when user is in a high speed motion.
The connection and network of 4G will be uninterrupted, smooth and reliable. With such a great technology, users can enjoy the speed, like that of broadband connections, even in mobile. The introduction of this technology will revolutionize the world of internet. Two-way communication in audio and video, HD video streamings, high-speed data transfer, higher bandwidth and many other services will be possible.
The benefits of 4G wireless technology are endless and it will offer such a service which is beyond human expectations. Soon this technology will be available to you and then you will be to access internet from any device and from anywhere.
