THE DIFFERENCE
ABOUT 3G AND 4G
Like a "tsunami " or flood of information about the arrival of 4G
internet technology , many customers and users are wondering about what exactly
is the difference between the new 4G network with 3G networking that is
steadily gaining ground in the hearts of hardcore users of wireless technology. If
we see ads about higher speeds and fast often in post without telling the
consumer about the right explanation . " Internet Provider "
like Maxis , Celcom and etc are clearly taking a wait and see for using 4G
technology and seem less convinced of the need for the user to explore the 4G
technology . Handset manufacturers are often made comparisons with
competitors , their competitors by using technologies that have not
"matured " and is still ambiguous.
The easiest way to explain the difference between 3G and 4G can be explained by a simple analysis of the main purposes why this technology was invented. The third generation or 3G (3rd Generation) wireless internet was designed based on the technology in the early stages of the design for the purpose of making a phone call .Because phone calls require transmission of large amounts of data that are less than intenet surfing , 3G internet technology invention is only intended for the root volume delivery requirements or transfer data with moderate speed as the need to transfer large amounts of data to watch streaming video on the internet . This is a 3G mobile phone technology on the market sometimes problematic when users try to access the streaming video or website that draws a large number of Dathan .
To meet the challenges posed by the use of wireless internet and internet core user needs , the creation of 4G wireless internet , designed to cover communication and data transfer more than a phone call. Handling phone calls facility is considered to be too easy to have 4G technology, as this technology is designed for Internet communication , streaming video , watching TV and every task that previously could only be done if the user has a fast DSL connection , today can be done by phone 4G networks .
One significant difference between 3G and 4G download speeds are offered.Download speeds over 3G networks are generally around 0.6 - 1.4 megabits per second , with a maximum speed of 3.1 megabits per second at a certain time . To turn the 4G network , it offers download speeds of 3-6 megabits per second , with a maximum speed of 10 megabits per second , 3 -5 times the maximum speed that can be achieved from the third generation network (3G ) .
Other differences can be taken into account is the difference between upload both the networkings . For example , for fed up videos or files from the computer to the website, 3G networks offer speeds of only 0.5 Megabytes to 1 megabits using 4G networks . Could be said 4G network can upload twice the speed of the 3G network .
Another example of the speed of its 4G network , if download television shows takes about 19 minutes on 3G network , but it takes less than 5 minutes if using 4G networks . In addition, make dinner reservations only takes half a second on the 4G network , 5 seconds if using the 3G network and many more other examples of this speed 4G technology .
All this means is that 4G wireless internet will allow users to access the internet on their phones at the same speed if they do at home using DSL . Could be said , on the phone 4G technology increasingly approaching the speed if using a regular computer .Maybe in the future we will not need to depend on a computer to surf the Internet with fast , we just need a phone that is equipped with 4G technology.
