2G 3G And 4G Protocols With Cell2Get
2G technology is still the most widely used cellular technology, with over eighty percent of mobile customers around the world on it even as you read this article. According to leading retailer Cell2Get, three out of four clients continue to purchase 2G handsets. But of course they have their disadvantages when compared to those operating over 3G and 4G protocols. (This doesn’t concern 3- and 4G scams, which is another matter.) Data through-rates are abysmally snail-like by comparison, meaning that some of the most popular uses of bandwidth are severely hampered, applications like media sharing to video conferencing.
3G, in comparison, will offer up to 2 megabits per second, or 2Mbps, while 4G promises 100Mbps outdoors and up to 1 whole gigabit each second indoors! 802.16m WiMax, true video conferencing with more than two callers, improved security, wider bandwidths making for lower prices…it’s a whole new world of digital interconnectivity, right around the corner. Details are scant, but it’s being aggressively researched in Japan by NTT DoCoMo, in association with HP, and an anticipated launch date of no later than 2016 is promised.
Where 3G provided for data efficiency, 4G will focus on providing smoother transmissions and over different networks. Thus it is projected that 4G adoption by current subscribers will grow at exponential rates, possibly surpassing the hundred-million mark within four years of its debut, a feat that required six years for 3G.
Increased speed and portability is what 4G aims to deliver. Cloud computing applications are expected to benefit tremendously. Expanded coverage promises a seamless experience, whether talking to someone or surfing the worldwide web. The fat bandwidth pipeline courtesy of 4G will rival fiber-optical broadband for on-the-go connectivity that keeps up with you. And it’s all super secured, with even more robust protections in place.
Try that on your current cell phone!
