3G wireless still holds promise
3G wireless still holds promise<\/h2>
There"s been a lot of talk in 2009 about the next generation of
wireless technology, known as 4G wireless broadband, but the current
generation of 3G wireless technology is far from dead.
For many wireless operators, especially those that have built their
networks using the global standard GSM, the current 3G wireless
technology called HSPA still has some legs left. And while many
carriers are planning their 4G networks, hundreds of wireless providers
throughout the world are also expected to upgrade existing network
infrastructure with the latest versions of the 3G wireless technology
to increase speeds and offer new services. And because these network
speeds will match current 4G speeds, consumers will likely see no
difference in capability.
For this reason, the next few years will likely continue to be all
about 3G technology. And 4G services, where they will be available,
will likely appeal only to niche audiences.
