LTE-Advanced/WIMAX: Also Goodbye 2010 and 3G?


No doubt if 2011 might be a time when the 4G technology will actually be enjoyed by Internet users worldwide. In many areas of the USA, Europe and parts of Asia, a provider of Internet networks (mobile)-do sings the LTE and WiMAX as their 4G network, although 4G LTE and WiMAX is still discussed in the ITU.


At that time, we'll see how customers are upgrading their Internet from 3G to 4G, which offers access speeds 10 times faster than 3G. But of course this will not happen instantly, but takes time and processes that may be quite long, perhaps even until the end of 2011, until at least more than 50% of customers to upgrade to 4G.

It is about a lot of people with many needs and various levels of ability. Plan the transition from 3G to 4G of course will cost is also higher (expensive). While the question is: Does everyone really need 4G and should really be doing the migration to 4G (LTE-Advanced, WIMAX), or 3G (HSDPA, EVDO Rev. A) it is enough if the smooth and stable?

On the other hand, operators also must try to balance their investments with their customers according to the number of specific areas. 4G BTS Development course requires an investment of more expensive and this is where providers have to work hard or they can be bankrupt, because they do not re-4G investment capital. This may be another problem why this migration may take longer.

Early 2011 may be just the beginning of his career with 4G many large providers like Sprint and Verizon, which launched their services LTE or WIMAX. The fact also says that in reality, has not been widely released devices, either USB modem or cell phones and smartphones based on supporting LTE and WIMAX. Most still a rumor. Obviously we will wait until early 2011, smartphones what berbais LTE - WIMAX and career which really sped with their 4G service.
