4G Technology

[Johndoe234]

In the world of Internet, speed is the name of the game. The biggest, most important, difference between 3G and 4G technology is speed. There are two types of speeds on which to focus when discussing the differences between 3G and 4G. The first type of speed is called download speed. Download speed measures how fast information can be accessed when using a laptop or handheld device. The second type of speed is called upload speed. This speed measures how fast information can be transmitted to the Internet. Regarding both types of speed, 4G technology blows away 3G technology.

4G is simply an advanced form of 3G, called 3.9G by the ITU.

3G offers 4 megabits per second download and 5.8 Mbit/s upload. This is compared to the projected minimum 100 Mbit/s transfer speed of 4G.
