4G Mobile Technology Today
Many of us that enjoy taking advantage of the late Communication Technology to become available on the public marketplace find it difficult to get such an inspiring and tantalizing technology as 4G mobile off our minds. We simply have to know what the pulse of fourth generation mobile is at the moment: what the latest developments are, which new cities have been added to the map of next-generation network coverage, and so on and so forth. Indeed it is necessary to take the pulse of fourth generation mobile technology fairly often because there is constant innovation in this field, as it is a Technology that is still in its infancy and has a long and surely glorious future ahead of it.
Currently, in 2010, the pulse of 4G mobile is quite a bit more impressive and dynamic than most observers would have expected it to be. Considering that this is basically the first year in which large scale commercial deployments are being undertaken with fourth generation Mobile, the fact that several dozen local markets are already included on the 4G map is quite impressive, especially considering the speed with which new markets have been incorporated. All indications point to the fact that by the end of this year there will be many dozen more local deployments of fourth generation networks, and by the end of the following year it is expected that the number of fourth generation enabled cities and communities will be counted by the hundreds, not by the dozens any longer. An interesting development in this sense has been the relatively small though much larger than expected role of rural/remote markets with regards to new fourth generation mobile deployments. Most people would automatically assume (with fairly sound reasoning) that only big urban and suburban areas would be brought on board, at least for the next year or more, and that rural/remote communities would only come during the later stages of fourth generation development. Nonetheless, rural residents have proven to demonstrate a very high demand for such high performance wireless networks and providers seem to be heeding their call, with a handful of such remote locations forming part of the incipient 4G coverage map.
Something that fourth generation users should be keeping a keen eye out for will be the steady advance in the capabilities of their mobile devices and the speeds which their network provides. Though pretty much all fourth generation mobile users are astounded by the fact that they can get download speeds above 10 Mbps on their wireless network, this is still a far cry from the 100 Mbps which have been proven to be possible in lab tests. Over the coming months and years, it will be necessary to continue taking the pulse of 4G services to see how much closer to that ideal point connections have actually gotten, though surely a year from now 100 Mbps will not be the peak boasted of by lab researchers, who will have likely passed the 200 or 300 Mbps mark by then.
