I know the blog is called TRENDWATCH and not PHONETECHWATCH but be still folks. This is important stuff. A special little informational treat about your future I’m writing about today. This one goes out to all the peeps who obey their shiny new internets communication devices and yearn for more.
I’d like to introduce to you 4G. But before I do I’m going to make a quick attempt at clearing the smoke and haze of confusion that has quietly permeated your head as soon as you began reading this paragraph:
We’ll start with the networks used today and how they measure up:
Your AT&T, T-Mobile, O2, Orange, et al.
- GSM / GPRS / EDGE = 2.5G network = SLOW
- HSDPA/UMTS = 3G = FAST
Your Sprint, Verizon, Vodafone, et al.
- CDMA = 3G = FAST
- EV-DO (Rev. A, B) = 3G = A LITTLE FASTER
So, what’s next?
T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home and Sprint’s planned roll out of WiMax in NYC and a few other insignificant cities at the end of the year has probably stirred Verizon enough into looking at Vodafone’s LTE (long term evolution) technology for a 4G network.
If you were wondering, a “G” is a unit of speed based on the amount of time it takes for an “LOL” to travel 4 timezones. Kidding. I actually have no idea but it sort of makes it easier to understand, yeah?
iPhone. So the point of this little note is to let you know that in a year or two — those willing to pay — are gonna be sending drunk pictures to their friends even faster!
Really though, if you think web 2.0 is getting out of control now, just wait. Maybe we’ll all be wearing holographic emoticon charms that change based on our real emoticonal status and emit a wireless signal received by WiTooth headphones that read your friends’ Facebook status to you in real time.
I seriously cannot wait!
Being a student of first engneering of electronics and communication i m intrested in all such topics and this helps me in my project on 4G technology ,
So i would request you to put more pictures of 4G mobiles and the researches you do in this field becouse i m intrested i this field and would like to make my future in this field.
Great graphic pic with the electrode implants. ROFLMAO! But you know that just *could* be possible in the future… kinda a scary thought… twenty years ago if somebody told you there would be talking navigation systems in cars that would tell you how to get from point A to point B without getting lost – you would have told them to “Get LOST!”. :)
Great graphic pic with the electrode implants
