4G Delivers A Better User Experience

Why does 4G WiMAX deliver a better user experience?

 

Mobile Broadband is all about enhancing the user experience and the 4G network makes it all possible. How does this affect you as a developer? The four elements discussed below work together to supports mobile applications that could not be supported today on the 3G network.

 

Speed

The first reason is speed. We are referring to the same speed that is available from cable modems or DSL. With 4G, you can do the same things you do at home while you are on the road, mobile or metro-wide with the same speed. 4G is the next level of services, enabling video conferencing, video communication or HDTV while you are at a coffee shop, park, airport, etc.

 

 

 

Capacity

 

The second reason is the capacity behind the 4G network. A single lane highway with a very high speed limit  will not be able to handle rush hour. You have to have multiple lanes to handle the number of different people cruising down the highway. With the help of Sprint and Clearwire, we have the capacity to support these speeds across a large number of users all running at those speeds.

 

 

Technology

 

The third reason is the technology of the network. The technology uses next generation standards based on OFDM technology and is designed to deliver multi-megabit speeds to the end user device. The technology is built from the ground up to handle these types of speeds, to be mobile, and to handle all kinds of mobile devices.

 

Network

 

The fourth reason is the underlying network. The network was built to be an IP from the ground up. It was designed so it can support the backhaul in a cost-efficient way and also support the types of bandwidths that we are promising.
