What is the meaning 4G?

Answer 1

4G phone means that it is enabled to run on a 4G network and can handle the highspeed internet available over the 4G network.

If you are thinking what's a 4G Network then it means a network that can offers not only phone connectivity but also a HI SPEED data connectivity with speeds similar to a DSL or Broadband network. It is in other others a big WI-FI network.

4G enabled phones will be as good for browing an internet as a normal computer and will even try to replace computers for everyday Surfing and otherwise uses.

Answer 2

- 4G is the short term for fourth-generation wireless, the stage of broadband mobile communications that will supercede the third generation (3G). While neither standards bodies nor carriers have concretely defined or agreed upon what exactly 4G will be, it is expected that end-to-end IP and high-quality streaming video will be among 4G's distinguishing features. Fourth generation networks are likely to use a combination of WiMAX and WiFi.

Technologies employed by 4G may include SDR (Software-defined radio) receivers, OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) technologies, UMTS and TD-SCDMA. All of these delivery methods are typified by high rates of data transmission and packet-switched transmission protocols. 3G technologies, by contrast, are a mix of packet and circuit-switched networks.

When fully implemented, 4G is expected to enable pervasive computing, in which simultaneous connections to multiple high-speed networks provide seamless handoffs throughout a geographical area. Network operators may employ technologies such as cognitive radio and wireless mesh networks to ensure connectivity and efficiently distribute both network traffic and spectrum.

The high speeds offered by 4G will create new markets and opportunities for both traditional and startup telecommunications companies. 4G networks, when coupled with cellular phones equipped with higher quality digital cameras and even HD capabilities, will enable vlogs to go mobile, as has already occurred with text-based moblogs. New models for collaborative citizen journalism are likely to emerge as well in areas with 4G connectivity.

A Japanese company, NTT DoCoMo, is testing 4G communication at 100 Mbps for mobile users and up to 1 Gbps while stationary. NTT DoCoMo plans on releasing their first commercial network in 2010. Other telecommunications companies, however, are moving into the area even faster. In August of 2006, Sprint Nextel announced plans to develop and deploy a 4G broadband mobile network nationwide in the United States using WiMAX. The United Kingdom's chancellor of the exchequer announced a plan to auction 4G frequencies in fall of 2006.

4G technologies are sometimes referred to by the acronym "MAGIC," which stands for Mobile multimedia, Anytime/any-where, Global mobility support, Integrated wireless and Customized personal service.
4th Generation telecommunications

Answer 3

3G - a mobile communications standard that allows cell phones, computers, and other portable electronic devices to access the Internet wirelessly.

4G - a mobile communications standard intended to replace 3G, allowing wireless Internet access at a much higher speed.

Answer 4

I believe that 4G stands for Fourth Generation.

It is a technical standard set by the International Telephony Union. By those standards, NONE of the US carriers have 4G coverage. They are leveraging the fact that the standard has not been agreed to yet, and there are a couple of competing sets of requirements. However, none of the US carriers actually meet the criteria that are being considered.

Answer 5

it is a gage that is one size biger than 8 and it is the 7th size g (gage) i am only at a six but i am going to go to 00 witch is the size of a dime.

Answer 6

4G is short for the fourth generation of cellular technology, which is faster than 3G.

Answer 7

"4th Generation".
