[citation][nom]BSMonitor[/nom]You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. 4G is just an acronym for marketing people. It does not have a specific speed. Nor did 3G before it.They are just a generality for the increase in bandwidth as newer technologies arrive. aka a classification.[/citation]
Peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility such as mobile access and up to approximately 1 Gbit/s for low mobility such as nomadic/local wireless access, according to the ITU requirements.
do some research before you comment. 4g is the next generation wireless, after 2g, and 3g, the US does not have 4g, they just told everyone they did. Where just in a situation where the companies don't want to admit that they goofed, that there networks do not meet 4g standard, and that there still working on fully rolling out 4g.
once we move to LTE Advance then we will have 4g. LTE Advance was submitted for approval in 2009 is expected to be realeased in 2012, and is suppose to have a peak download rate of 500Mbit/s with max upload of 1Gbit/s
speed and new technology are the reasons why its not 3G, there is no way for 3G networks to touch 4G speeds. If there was a way for 3G to hit 4G speeds then you can call it a marketing acronym.
Speed isn't the only thing that separates one generation of technology from the next.
