3G Technology Today & Tomorrow

Cellular technology has progressed tremendously since its invention. With the first cellular telephone networks, developed by Bell Labs and AT&T, cellular technology began to make leaps forward in ease of use, voice quality, and data communication. The miracle of technology we know today as the cellular phone was made possible by a steady stream of innovation that continues on into the future 3G technology, the current standard in cellular service, improved cellular service even more. On the network side, it was even more efficient than 2G and allowed much faster data connections that approached broadband speeds. It also allowed a consumer to use both voice and data features on their phones at the same time.

However, the march of technology goes ever forward, and now thee is a fourth generation of cellular technology just over the horizon. Unlike previous generations of cellular network technology, 4G is not designed around voice services but is designed around the internet. It will also do away with many of the cellular network incompatibilities between carriers and countries. It have blazing fast data speeds starting at 100Mbps (approximately DSL speed), and top out at 1Gbps (approximately LAN speed). It is designed to be used with both mobile phones and static computers.

Unlike today, most US and international cellular carriers will use the same network standard that is called Long Term Evolution (LTE).

The developments in cellular technology promise a worldwide network of mobile voice and data communication like we’ve never seen before. Imagine a broadband connection to the internet and crystal clear calls anywhere you go. 
Get ready for 4G.!!!
