A Comparison Of 3G And 4G Wireless Networks


In the technological world of mobile phones, 4G is the terminology used for the fourth advanced group of wireless network platforms for mobile devices and especially smart phones. While there is no consensus on the standards of 4G generation, the promises are high to provide, faster, dependable and a very secure wireless networking. There is no doubt that 4G networks will outperform 3G networks, but by what margin? And should we pay a higher price to get the 4G service?

Comparing Speeds
It is true that some of the 4G networks actually do have the capability of transmitting as fast as 100Mbps, the service providers are not too keen on claiming those huge numbers. This is sometime sowing to the limitation of basic technology, while sometimes low transmission speed is offered by the service provider to make sure that the network is reliable and minimum service standards are met all the time. Wireless service provider actually learnt a lesson the hard way when AT&T launched its smart phone in large numbers, especially the iPhones, over burdening its network which did not have the infrastructure to cater to the huge demand for data transmission services.
