subject: With 4G, a Whole New Range of Mobile Capabilities Is Available [print this page] If you happen to get goosebumps and shivers down your spine whenever you hear or think about the very latest in mobile communications technology (aka, you are a real mobile-freak), then surely you must have heard about the incredible new capabilities to be made possible through 4G networks. For such people, the mere utterance of fourth generation is the equivalent of reciting scripture to the faithfulit is absolutely inspiring! And why wouldnt it be when you consider just how incredibly advanced the applications and services being made available via fourth generation networks and devices really are? There is, as will be seen below, every reason to get excited about what the latest fourth generation innovations are:
Where to start? Here we go: with your 4G service, you will be able to do what mobile phone users have been wanting to do for an incredibly long time alreadyuse VoIP instead of their very expensive regular cell phone companies services! VoIP was simply not within the grasp of mobile users up until the deployment of fourth generation networks, as previous generation technology simply could not handle the weight and intensity of such applications. Now, however, mobile users with a 4G subscription are taking full advantage of such capabilities and saving an incredible amount of money on their phone costs at the same time. In fact, with a fourth generation device you can end up having multiple VoIP conversations at the same time on your mobile phone. Whats more, VoIP is only the beginning of it: you can conduct a full-blown videoconference call with multiple other participants, meaning that business users can stay mobile and stay productive within their professional lives; or you can even get IPTV services and watch live broadcasts, even viewing multiple channels on your mobile device all at the same time. And for that matter, why not any and all streaming audio and video feeds straight from the internet as well? Of course you canwith fourth generation mobile, there is practically nothing you wont be able to do.
Some more eccentric implementations of 4G technology have taken the idea of mobility to the next level. Forget the handheld: were talking about outfitting your entire car to take advantage of the unprecedented intensity and geographical extent of fourth generation networks. Now referred to as connected cars, these are vehicles that have the ability to connect to fourth generation networks wherever they travel. In cities such as Atlanta where the entire metropolitan area is smothered in signal availability, this means being able to drive around the city wherever you like and getting all the information you need at the same time. The most sophisticated connected cars include multiple touchscreens so that the driver can get the information they need while passengers enjoy entertainment or other web content, with access to all the services mentioned above and a whole lot more besides. Road maps and traffic information and much more information (vehicle tracking, for example) will make this a trend that will continue to deepen in the future.
