4G mobile technology is the name for the next generation of mobile devices such as cell phones. It became available from at least one provider in the US in 2009.
The use of G, standing for generation, in mobile technology covers the major advances of the past 20-30 years. 1G technology involved the first widely available mobile phones. 2G technology, which began in the early 1990s, switched to a digital format and introduced text messaging. 3G technology improved the efficiency of how data is carried, making it possible to carry enhanced information services such as websites in their original format. The latest iPhone is the best known example of 3G and 4G technology.
4G mobile should use enhanced security measures and offer drastically faster speed. A second goal is to reduce blips in transmission when a device moves amongst areas covered by different networks. Within the United States, there are two major systems using 4G mobile technology. One is known as WiMax and is backed by Clearwire, a firm whose majority owner is Sprint Nextel. The competing system, Long Term Evolution or LTE, is backed mainly by Verizon. It was expected to be ready for testing in 2010 but not available for widespread use until 2012 LTE’s backers hoped to overcome this disadvantage by offering faster speeds and producing cheaper equipment.
Unlike previous generations of mobile technology, 4G mobile will be widely used for Internet access on computers as well as carrying cell phone communications. Customers in areas which have strong 4G coverage will be able to use it for a home broadband connection which doesn’t require any cabling to their household. It can also be used for accessing the Internet on the move without having to be in a wireless hot-spot such as those offered by some bakeries, coffee shops, airports and libraries.

Hello! I read an article a few weeks ago and have been meaning to share it with you. This article focuses on the spotty coverage that accompanies the IPhone.
Harris Communications has conducted site surveys throughout the United States. The purpose of a site survey is to determine what type of solution and design will work best for a specific facility. In most cases it is not feasible to provide an accurate estimate based on square footage of a facility alone. There are quite a few variables that structures can contribute to each project. The best way to get an accurate and efficient solution is to schedule a site survey prior to commissioning a design.
Great question!
You can boost more than one cellular signal. We prefer to conduct a site survey in order to determine the carrier readings in and outside your building to determine what solution will be the best fit.
A signal booster an interchangeable term for cellular repeater, cell phone repeater, or wireless cellular signal booster, a type of bi-directional amplifier (BDA) as commonly named in the wireless telecommunications industry.
A cellular network is a radio network made up of a number of radio cells (or just cells) each served by at least one fixed-location transceiver known as a cell site or base station.
I simply had to post this picture……
We have had a crew out on multiple locations on the East Coast in the past few weeks. I prefer to see completed installations in person but in some cases I rely on pictures from my lead technicians. This one is a beauty; note the equipment rack and the amplifiers mounted on the wall in the background. This is a really clean job and we have another happy client. Thanks team!
