3G is passe; 4G is the real deal

摘要

Now that we're all pretty sure we understand what 3G stands for (or represents), it's time to move on to 4G. To review, the "real" definition for 3G is 384 kbits/s. That's the speed for a mobile device. That high rate results in a host of applications/features that are more like what a consumer would equate with 3G. The more widely recognized definition by consumers is that the bandwidth is high enough to permit voice calls, video calls, and wireless data, all in a mobile environment.
