What Are 4g Antennas And Are 4g Antennas Actually Available?

There's not really a mystery when it comes to 4G antennas

, and 4G antennas are available, but not actually as 4G antennas. The problem lies in what constitutes 4G and if we actually have 4G network that requires 4G antennas, or if we in fact only have 3.9G which is considered to be a pre-4G version. I'm guessing that you are starting to understand the 4G antenna confusion by now.

The International Telecommunications Union-Radio communications sector (ITU-R) have written out requirements which constitutes 4G, and to date these requirements haven't been met by any wireless network, therefore we don't yet have 4G and so 4G antennas are not actually available or needed.

Having said that, LTE and WiMax are the closest thing we have to 4G and have been allowed to call themselves as much, despite slightly falling short. So when you are looking for a 4G antenna, in reality you are looking for a LTE or WiMax antenna.

Finding the correct 4G antenna for your application can be confusing since your wireless carrier's 4G service may be using AWS, LTE or WiMax technologies. 4G is being rolled out on a couple of different frequencies. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the 4G mobile broadband services operating on 700 MHz whilst WiMax standards in 802.16.

However, despite not quite achieving 4G hasn't stopped companies marketing goods as such. Wireless Carriers using LTE for their 4G network include AT&T and Verizon along with many worldwide carriers and mobile phone companies also market their handsets as 4G. New technology of course causes a buss and get products flying off the shelves.

But will the arrival of 4g really make much difference to us, when we are almost there already? When advancements and developments have been made, what can you expect to gain from your fully functional 4G antenna?

4G antennas will offer lightning fast speeds for downloading data which means that media applications will run more smoothly and streaming videos will be a much smoother affair without buffering, which will feel a bit like when you first brought a colour television, or traded in dial up internet and invested in broardband.

However, the benefits at present will be short lived. Some analysts are concerned, though, that the 4G antennas will require a lot of power, meaning that the first 4G devices will offer relatively short usage times before their batteries will need to be recharged,

Leaving them on when unneeded reduces battery life dramatically. When you're not using Bluetooth, turn it off. When you're not near a Wi-Fi hot spot, turn the Wi-Fi off. The same goes for 4G antennas when not in a 4G area. This prevents the device from wasting battery life as it continually searches for a signal.

However, lessons can be learnt from other technologies to improve this current issue. Bluetooth has an inactive mode when it is not in use, and 4G antennas could be given the same functionality, which would save battery life power and would also save the user from having to manually disable 4G.
