Coming soon ... 4G

If you feel excited about 3G, surely 4G network will make you fever. 4th Generation wireless network data transmission system, ie 4G, has just been announced and performed at the ongoing International Trade Exhibition in Seoul.

Developed by the Korea Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, the system - during the show - could allow data transmission at speeds up to 100 Mbps for stationary devices. Even if you are traveling at speeds of up to 120 km / h, the system still allows data transmission and reception seamlessly, without being interrupted.

The great thing is that according to system development engineers, this is just the beginning. Senior engineer Byeong Ho Yoon said that according to the current development momentum, by 2010, we will be able to send and receive wireless data at speeds up to . 1 Gb / s when not moving, and 100 Mb / s when sitting on moving vehicles.

The trial of the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute was conducted just a day after DoCoMo announced it had achieved real-time data transmission speeds of up to 1 Gb / sec for devices moving at speed 20 km / hour.

The success of all these tests and the fierce competition to take the lead in the development of the next generation wireless network protocol is bringing 4G closer to us than ever before.
