4G Overview 4G is a wireless standard, and is delivered through network infrastructure, telecom services and client hardware (smartphones, modems, tablets and other devices). Much of this research assesses the devices and data services of 4G technology. What's most important is what can be adopted by enterprises to support their mobile users. 4G is really the latest evolution of mobile, wireless broadband or high-speed wireless networking. It is the next global standard from 3G services, and has commercial network speeds as high as 12 Mbps in earlier versions, with plans for more than 100 Mbps in later revisions. This recommendation mainly assesses the standards, data services and devices of 4G. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the internationally recognized entity chartered to produce an official definition of next-generation wireless technologies. Its Radio communication Sector (ITU-R) has established an agreed-on and globally accepted definition of 4G wireless systems and 4G radio standards. There has been a great deal of confusion regarding what is part of the 4G standard. Although marketed as a 4G wireless service, LTE as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 (Rel-8) and Release 9 (HSPA.x technologies) did not originally satisfy the technical requirements the 3GPP consortium had adopted for its new standard generation, and which were originally set forth by the ITU-R organization in its IMTAdvanced specification. However, due to marketing pressures and the significant advancements that WiMAX, HSPA+ and LTE brought to the original 3G technologies, the ITU later decided that LTE, together with HSPA, can be called 4G technologies. These can be broken into three releases, which include the following. HSPA+ Release 7 (Rel-7) moved beyond HSPA (which is considered part of the 3G standard) in its evolution to HSPA+. The evolution to
