What is fourth generation (4G) mobile systems?

Fourth generation mobile communications systems that are characterised by high-speed data highrates at 20 to 100 Mbps, suitable for high-resolution highmovies and television, virtual . Initial deployments are anticipated in 2006-2010. 2006-2010.

4G: Data rate Facts

Transmission at 20 Mbps 2000 times faster than mobile data rates 10 times faster than top transmission rates planned in final build out of 3G broadband mobile 1010-20 times faster than standard ADSL services.

4G WIRELESS SYSTEM (CONT D)

4G should be able to provided very smooth global roaming ubiquitously with lower cost Theoretically, 4G is set to deliver 100mbps to a roaming mobile device globally, and up to 1Gbps to a stationary device. With this in mind, it allows for video conferencing, streaming picture perfect video (i.e. telemedicine, tele-geo processing application etc.) 4G will bring almost perfect real world wireless or called WWWW: World Wide Wireless Web
