First 4G mobile system
p2pnet.net News:- The world’s first fourth-generation mobile communication system has now been officially launched ———– in China,
It provides speeds of up to 100 mbps in wireless transmission of data and images many times faster than that of current mobile technology, says China Daily.
Initiated as the B3G (Beyond 3G)/4G research project in 2001, it was trialed in Shanghai’s Changning District at a cost of $19.2 million (150 million yuan), says the story.
China was aiming to have it in trial commercial use between 2006 and 2010, says China Daily, adding:
“China has yet to award domestic telecom operators licences to build 3G (third generation) mobile phone networks, but Wang Xudong, minister of information industry, told reporters at the ITU Telecom World 2006 last month that it could happen ‘very soon’.”
