Applications:
The bandwidth and location information available to 3G devices gives rise to applications not
previously available to mobile phone users. Some of the applications are:
What is 4G?
In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a
successor to the 3G and 2G families of standards. In 2008, the ITU-R organization specified
the IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced) requirements for 4G
standards, setting peak speed requirements for 4G service at 100 Mega bit /sec for high mobility
communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Giga bit/sec for low mobility
communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users).
4G is described as MAGIC: mobile multimedia, any-time anywhere, global mobility support, integrated wireless solution, and customized personal
service.[citation needed] Some key features (primarily from users' points of view) of 4G mobile networks are:[citation needed]
Personalization
Integrated services
The fourth generation of cellular wireless, commonly referred to as 4G, is set to succeed 2G and 3G networks beginning with next year. 4G radio
technologies include the 802.16e mobile WiMax, HC-SDMA, and LTE (Long Term Evolution). 4G networks will provide data and streaming media at a
much higher data rate, ranging from the Ethernet-grade 100Mbps between any two points in the world to 1Gbps if client and station are in relatively
fixed position. This will enable bandwidth-consuming applications like HD broadcast, video calls, mobile TV, and more. 4G also enables more
simultaneous users per call; meaning higher reliability and less dropped calls. Based on the ubiquitous IP protocol that powers the Internet, 4G
networks will be interoperable with existing wireless standards and will offer global roaming across multiple networks. Most U.S. carriers are in early
stages of upgrading their networks to 4G. Verizon is believed to be debuting the first commercial 4G network in the U.S. sometime in 2010, but most
U.S. carriers will switch to 4G by the end of 2012
