4G on the other hand, is referring to the 4th Generation of wireless networks, but is a little more complicated. According to the ITU, one of the requirements for a service to be 4G is that it has to provide data speeds at a minimum of 100 Mbit/second, compared to the 3G’s minimum requirement of 3.8 Mbit/second. This is fast! However, despite being marketed as 4G and being significantly faster than 3G, today’s 4G services don’t come close to this speed. They will eventually, once 4th Generation networks converge and become more established. 4G phones in today’s marketplace are considered to be 4G due to the fact that they use a more efficient method for transporting data than the previous 3G. This technology has the potential for extremely high speeds. As these mobile communication networks continue to expand, we as consumers should start to see this type of performance increase in the future.
