WiMax and the Road to 4G mobile technology

As we update, we changed our phones and we chose to get into the 3G wave, the picture will change before the expected with the launch of 4G mobile technology. What is 4G technology? Expected to be end-to-end (one of the bases of the Transmission Control Protocol), with total use of IP (Internet Protocol) and packet-switched networks.

Probably not understand well what it is, but these features come to address what is expected to be a very high increase in the use of wireless transmission of audio, video and data. The idea is to increase the transmission speed and even better price.
The high expectations and anticipation of this news comes a little to put pressure now to define interoperability standards and everything that makes 4G and its components. Creating standards and well-defined parameters, there is hope to avoid problems of compatibility between certified products and others are not, so the actual flutter with 4G: the idea is concerned in time.

IEEE 802.16, the group that is dedicated to establishing standards for access to wireless broadband considers WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is as 4G, given that 4G will be based on OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) radio antenna ... the same technology that has WiMax. HowStuffWorks On the graph you can have a real idea of the performance of WiMax.

How WiMaxWiMax has proposed and promoted the creation of innovative new devices that can bring wireless Internet service to almost anywhere, even where there is no access to the Internet.

This, coupled with IP technology, WiMax make responsible (and producer) to boost mobile 4G. In addition, telecom providers in Europe, along with Verizon, prefer the path of the proposed migration to 4G LTE.

WiMax is expected to be chosen by those traders without licenses 3G WCDMA. Thus, those who currently offer Internet through a local network can compete better taking WiMax.

The WiMax Forum has some predictions indicate that between 2012 and 133 million people will use WiMax networks ... The question is where.

My question is how many people in Latin America may now have access to a 3G phone. These advances in cellular technology as anticipated growth are interesting for the development of these systems with real benefits, but also show the economic and technological backwardness of regions like Latin America where 3G phones just landed and not yet crowded ... What think of cell technology in your country? Do you have the latest cell phone or you have not updated?
