It is finally possible for serious mobile communication users to invest in a service that meets their
highest expectations,thanks to the arrival of the "4G" communication on the market!But what exactly
is this all about,and what real benefits do clients stand to gain by switching to such a plan?Below we
hope to clear up precisely these concerns in a bid to bring wireless users closer to the reality that they
have always dreamt of .
The initials "4G" stand for "fourth generation "wireless communication standards,and at present they
are the latest generation of such standards.Unlike in the past,this time the generational leap is going to
take a good long while to repeat itself,so the fourth generation users do not need to fear investing in
something that is simply going to be left by the wayside in a few short months or even weeks.That's
because this generation of wireless standards is the culmination(顶点) of a much broader and more
coordinated (协调的) set of developments in labs across the world,rather than the kinds of isolated
and shortsighted pushes that resulted in previous generations of wireless standards.
The results of this internationally supported new generation of wireless Internet are much more
significant than most people would imagine,as the steps forward are much greater than the case
between previous generations of wireless systems.Whereas between 2G and 3G wireless systems
the rate of data transfer barely rose a few Kbps (千字节每秒) and was accompanied by few other
major advances.With the arrival of the latest generation the bar (缓冲地址暂存器) has been raised
several Mbps (兆比特每秒) and furthermore several other advantages have been presented.It means
that the fourth generation mobile users will be able to capture signals in a broader variety of locations
and circumstances,not being cut off simply because they have hopped from one network to the next.
Ultimately,the fourth generation mobile Internet means a vast readjustment(再调整) in the way
people live their personal and professional lives,offering them the kind of mobility that they have always
hoped for.And as the fourth generation capabilities are spread over increasing parts of the country,
starting in the nation's largest cities and spreading out wards from there,it will in the near future be
possible to roam from coast to coast without losing one's connection for even a second.
