The modern Russian market of mobile communications is simply impossible without mobile Internet, which in a short time has become an integral part of the daily life of millions of people. High-speed mobile internet is associated with 3G and 4G communication standards. You need to figure out what they are.
Third generation mobile networks
3G (Third Generation) is the penultimate generation mobile networks based on UMTS technologies and supporting data transfer rates up to 3.6 Mbps. This speed is quite enough to painlessly use Internet telephony, video communication sessions, create remote virtual conferences, etc.
In addition to the difference in speed, the average mobile Internet user will feel that the number of disconnections from the Internet has decreased significantly. This is due to the technology of the so-called "soft handover". The bottom line is that a person on the move moves from one coverage area of a cellular operator to another. The stronger the signal from one cell, the more data is transmitted through it. And the weaker the signal from it, the smaller the packet of information reaches the subscriber.
Fourth generation of mobile communications
4G allows data transfer at speeds of up to 100 Mbps, and the upper threshold of the speed can be increased from a theoretical point of view. Russian mobile operators provide mobile Internet services using 4G networks, based on LTE technology, which provides broadband, multi-channel data transmission.
With the help of 4G, subscribers of cellular operators can easily download gigabytes of information available on the network, communicate using Internet telephony, exchange files, and in general - do everything that users of stationary computers with wired Internet access can afford.
Devices supporting 3G and 4G
Modern communicators, without exception, support at least the 3G standard. This means that, having spent about 3000 rubles on an inexpensive communicator, its owner will be able to freely access the Internet and use it at high speed anywhere in the coverage area of the cellular operator. Also, there may be 3G-modems at disposal, which are created so that the Internet is available everywhere and everywhere for owners of laptops and netbooks.
4G is supported by many modern communicators, but their price may seem overpriced. This is justified, because the speed of the Internet increases many times compared to 3G, and you have to pay for it. 4G modems were also created using this technology. On the Russian market, such a standard has existed for only the second year, but has already reached a multi-million dollar coverage of buyers throughout the country.
