Shanghai launches 4G mobile network

China has just launched a test of the fourth generation (4G) mobile technology developed by the country, and the city selected to send gold is Shanghai.

" We want to test the feasibility of domestic 4G technology and this project will bring us closer to the time of mass deployment, " China Daily quoted You Xiaohu, leading telecommunications expert. China.

4G technology provides wireless services at a significantly faster rate than 3G and 3.5G networks, so that data and image services are significantly improved. At the same time, it also opens the door for services that are already in potential form like high-definition, high-definition mobile TV.

Source: AFP Shanghai's implementation of 4G testing can be considered a "leapfrogging" step of China, because the country has not yet exploited 3G for many reasons. China itself has developed a separate 3G technology, different from the prevailing CDMA and WCDMA in the world today.

But until now, the government has not yet licensed any businesses or mobile networks to operate 3G. However, it is not possible to lose an attractive market, domestic technology firms have jumped straight to 4G super-fast technology.

The pilot project of 4G in Shanghai costs about 150 million yuan (19 million USD) and is declared by the Chinese Government as the " first 4G city in the world ".

However, right in August 2006, South Korea's electronics giant Samsung Electronics announced 4G mobile technology with an impressive performance on a running bus. Samsung said it plans to bring the technology into mass production in 2010, if the 4G band is approved next year.

For its part, China has set a goal to continue testing 4G networks on a larger scale, and put this network into official business before 2010. " The Shanghai project shows that we have entered the stage. the first paragraph of the big plan , "said You.
