Today’s society many are using the 3G network for a variety of needs. However, did You know that today also has been available on a 4G network that will rival or even replace the 3G network. A 4G network is a wireless network that became the fourth generation to facilitate mobile communication. By using 4G, the speed of communication is much better compared with the previous network. 4G is 4G LTE, but the network is still limited to the Greater Jakarta area only. For areas outside of the Greater must be willing to wait for the spread of 4G LTE network. LTE itself is actually developed by 3GPP, which is an evolution of the GSM network.
At first, the wireless network that is known and used is 1G, which was launched in 1980. For decades the IT expert developed a network and found the latest network known as 2G network and launched in early 1990. the 2G network allows the transmission of which is much more compared to the 1G network. Advances in technology are increasingly developed to make the creation of the 3G network much better than the previous generation. 3G network allows the presence of multimedia applications with more advanced technology. After that came the 4G network which is developed to provide better service and quality with its data transfer speed is high.
Of course if You are using this network then You can exchange information or to get the information You need in time which is fast compared with the 3G network. Speed transfer data on the 4G network with a minimum of 100 megabits per second. LTE is becoming the technology to get the standard of 4G networks that can be applied to the game or TV. Network technology 4G LTE has a lot of advantages but that doesn’t mean the network has no weakness. In Indonesia, the network is often used on the 1800 MHz network in the 4G LTE network.
Then, how do smartphone users, if they can use the 4G network?
For smartphone users, they are already able to use the 4G network, but only on some smartphones like the iPhone 5S, HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 AND Nokia Lumia 820. In addition, the iPad 4 and iPad Mini is a gadget that can enjoy the services of 4G network because the gadget is operating with a frequency of 1800 mhz. The presence of the 4G network on smartphones and tablets allows users to stream and also play the online game.
Some of the advantages of 4G/ LTE network including:
- Has a downlink speed of up to 300 Mbps and Uplink speeds up to 75 Mbps.System supports the itu-R and the system of IMT that uses wave frequency. Supports transfer speed broadband as 4G has a frequency band that is much higher.
- Supports Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network.
- Support high mobility.
- The 4G network is able to minimize the disruption.
The 4G LTE network also has some drawbacks. Here are some weaknesses of the 4G network:
- To create a network infrastructure that is new and cost more expensive than the 3G network, 2G and 1G.Required the installation of the new equipment if the network is updated.It takes a mobile device that supports Tepe 4G LTE if the network.
- It takes a mobile device that supports 4G LTE technology if the network is updated.
- Needed an additional antenna to transfer data because of the 4G LTE network Multiple-Input (MIMO).
Though it has several advantages above, the 4G network is still very limited territory. Unlike the 3G network which almost all regions in Indonesia can reach. Maybe in the future You are outside Jabotabek can enjoy the advantages of the 4G LTE network.
