4G Mobile Technology

4G Forum was held in Jeju Island, Korea on31 August to take a look at the state of the technology that is slated to go commercial in 2010.
The key point distinguishing the generations of telecom services is their data transmission speed. In the long slow age of analogue communication, only voice transmission was possible. Since the 1990s, it has been possible to send text messages, photographs and videos, at an ever faster clip. Fourth-generation technology will be able to send data at 1 Gbps in stationary and 100 Mbps in its mobile form, about 10-100 times each faster than current capacity. At 1 Gbps, a movie stored on a CD can be sent in 6.4 seconds. One hundred songs in the form of an MP3 file can be sent in 2.4 seconds.
The basic point of the fourth-generation service is a smart antenna, multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) technologies and a something snappily named “orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing,” a method of digital modulation where a signal is split into several narrowband channels at different frequencies to minimize interference. It means we can use the so-called triple play service (TPS), which can handle voice and video data at the same time, meaning we can make video calls and watch TV on the cell phone. Users can download HD movies and watch them on their phone and also interact, for instance by taking part in a poll while watching TV.
Long-distance medical diagnosis via cell phones will also become possible. Users can use the wireless Internet on an overseas business trip by simply connecting their cell phone to their notebook computer, since the principle of the fourth-generation service is to connect networks around the world.

Mobile Technology

Filed under: Mobile Technology

Media technology is growing day by day and became a need of our life. Internet and mobile services have had massive growth over the past decade.  There are  millions of people use mobile phone all over the world.
Mobile phone and the pressure to upgrade a mobile is continual because it’s like a fashion/trend statement in itself. Mobile Phone has been like PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) which you can carry everyday, everywhere. Laptop is used only  basically by people who are attached with business. But the people that are not business people do not use laptop but till then they use mobile phone, Todays everyone has a mobile phone . It is not secret. Businesses are aware of the new emerging technology on phones. They are beginning to change the way they do business. For example, people who offer entertainment services, they are making movies, advertisement, games and cartoons…etc to fit into the phone market because the phone has become a new medium to push the publishers’ wares.
The other major advantage a mobile has over the laptop is its convenience. Mobile will be more than just a mobile as we all know it has been part of our life and something that we can’t get away from. For example, Mobile allow us to do everything in terms of capture moments in life on camera, take a photo, listen to music, online services to check whatever we want to search, news and a storage device for all our data etc, which laptop ca not do any of these.
