What is 4G?
Summary
4G is the name given to the 4th generation of wireless technology. 4G is essentially the successor to the 2G and 3G networks of mobile technology that mobile devices use to communicate with each other and the internet. Everything from telephone calls to emails to internet access to GPS signals - all use one of these networks. 4G does all these tasks faster and more effectively. These high speeds are made possible by two types of technology standards, LTE and WIMAX. All the mobile providers will use one or the other of these standards.
With 4G, a user is able to access the internet from a mobile device in a way that has never before been possible – streaming high definition movies or playing graphics intensive games to tiny mobile devices that use the 4G network.
