What’s 4G? Let’s have a look at the description of TeliaSonera on its official website. 4G which is GSM LTE standard-based offers the hi-speed mobile network broadband service. The most important feature of 4G is high speed.
The 4G approaching signal has appeared at the end of last year. 2010 was regarded as the disposition year of LTE (Long-Term Evolution) in Telecom industry. However, there were 17 days ahead of time by North Europe Telecom operator Telia Sonera. LTE started to appear on the business market in Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden on December, 14, 2009.

LTE is the top mainstream 4G technology in the world. The technology which is developed by Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens and Huawei Company has been supported by the main telecommunications operators. The principal advantage of 4G is that it provides consumers with fluent and clear online movie, online games and online video meeting.
On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper, the inventor of mobile phone made the call with the wireless telephone about the size of brick on the New York street. About thirty years later, mobile phone is not merely used for making calls.
LTE was confirmed as the evolutional technology of 3G on the 3GPP Toronto Conference in 2004. There’s competition between LTE and WiMAX in recent years. But the LTE has been the choice of most operators.
Alan Hadden, the president of GSA said, “The LTE technology is supported by 88 operators from 42 countries.” And the Juniper Research maintained that there would be at least 0.1 billion people use the LTE mobile broadband until 2014.
According to a survey from TeliaSonera, most of the 4G used people are technology lovers. 90% of people are 3G users, 43% of people use iPhone, 26% of people surfing the internet through mobile network and 19% of people watch online movie. At present, LTE can only be applicable to notebook or Netbook through the network card. Maybe it’s 2011 that we can use the 4G smartphone.
In July, 2009, Scott Snyder talked in a book that 4G would bring people faster experience than any the ever wireless technologies. He predicted that 4G would change the way that we work and play.
More and more Telecom operators tend to apply the Al-you-can-eat plans. What matters is not how much you have downloaded online, but how much have you paid to get the flows.
Rajeev Suri, the CEO of Nokia and Siemens demonstrated that TD-LTE originated in China, but it would serve the world on the media host of the Finland Hall of Shanghai World Expo. TD-LTE will become an important standard no matter in developing countries such as China and India or in Europe, America and Japan.
