1G, 2G, 3G, and Now 4G LTE
Technology today has improved by leaps and bounds, don’t you agree? Our great-grandparents used to wait for weeks to get a letter, but now an e-mail can be sent from quite literally anywhere, as long as there’s an internet connection. In today’s world, getting connected to people from across the world is no longer the problem, but rather, how fast we can connect to them becomes the main issue. With the recent launch of 4G LTE in Malaysia, how fast can we actually go?
What is 4G LTE and How Is It Different from 3G?
On the 5th of December 2012, The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) announced the allocation of the much-anticipated 2,600MHz wireless platform, thus paving the way for Malaysians to enjoy 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) services. Theoretically, the latest 4G LTE providers could offer mobile broadband speeds of up to 100 Mbps. For you folks who don’t quite know what you could achieve with 100Mbps on your smartphone, picture this: Downloading a 5MB song can be done in 2 seconds flat, and a 750MB movie can be downloaded in about 5 minutes. Pretty nifty, eh?
(For a full explanation on Mbps, Kbps, and other jargon, just head on to our “Internet Download Speed vs Download Quota – Seperating the MBs from the Mbps” article!)
So how does 4G compare to the current 3G network that most of us are using? Well, for example, DiGi’s Mobile Internet Monthly 1GB 3G Postpaid plan gives you speeds of up to 700Kbps (i.e. around 0.7 Mbps only). As you can imagine, the promise of the very much faster 100Mbps is probably why Malaysians are eager to get their hands on the 4G LTE network.
