 | Word of the Day
4G is the short name for fourth-generation wireless, the stage of broadband mobile communications that will supercede the third generation (3G). Although carriers still differ about whether to use Long Term Evolution (like Verizon) or WiMAX (like Sprint), all carriers seem to agree that OFDM will be one of the chief indicators that a service can be legitimately marketed as being 4G. |

"For most service providers and consumers, 4G wireless has the potential to deliver 40 Mbps or more of broadband connectivity per user. There are two technologies capable of supporting this requirement: WiMAX from the IEEE and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project's LTE."
