What is 4G?


Netcom is launching their 4g Network in Oslo 2010. Telenor og Tele 2 has started building in sweden.
The key to success is to use the Long Term Evolution (LTE)-technology in the best way, and to make the service as atractible as possible in form of good services. In Norway LTE will be used as technology in the 4th generation mobile network (4G) an alternate solution to LTE is Wimax wich is in a testing state in US and Russia. Nokia Dismissed their new wimax phone . some might think that the 4G network will replace 2G and 3G, but this it not the case. LTE is based entirely on mobile data traffic and not voice . instead you will get by far greater speed in the mobile data network. the theoretical speed in norway with HSDPA (3,5G) is 7,5 Mb/s. With LTE you will have a theoretical speed of 100 MB/s to start with
the actual speed will depend on ho many users are connected to the same basestation, but will probably be over 10 times the speed we are used to today
4G will probably release alot of traffic from the existing networks wich will give the rest of the population outside of oslo better bandwith on the 3G network

Nokia has plans for 4G phones next year Gigaom
