4G

With continuing advancements in the cellular industry, the talk of 4G technology must be at the top of the list. 4G (Fourth-Generation) is also being referred to as Beyond 3G. Expected to replace our current 3G network, the 4G network will be a fully IP-based integrated system.
With high hopes for the new system, the 4G network will offer us higher security along with stellar quality phone services. Some companies have even claimed that 4G already exist with the launch of WiMAX. Stay tuned, as we will update our 4G technology definition as more details become available.
