Overview [WINNIE]
As the technology world evolves and develops faster and better every day, it puts new demands of speed and throughput on the network that supports it. Today especially, we live in a world where everyone is mobile, and it is expected that mobile networks keep pace with the innovations in technology. The successor of 2G and 3G mobile network standard is the 4G mobile network standard. The emergence of 4G, nonetheless, should provide faster and better mobile network connectivity to support the newer and ever more demanding technologies born every day. The emergence of 4G mobile network technology is aimed at offering higher data speeds and the ability to roam across multiple heterogeneous wireless networks for the demanding mobile connectivity consumers of today.[1]
Technological Characteristics of 4G [WINNIE]
(add in tech speeds) Mainly, the 4G Mobile Network will be typified by a horizontal communication model. This is where such different access technologies as cellular, wireless LAN type systems, short-range wireless connectivity, and wired systems will be combined on a open and common platform in order to complement each other in the best way possible to accommodate the various service requirements and environments available. 4G will provide the following technological characteristics based on this horizontal communication model: [2]
Convergence Services [WINNIE]
By allowing services to converge, the environment that makes up broadband mobile communication service will become seamless and highly-reliable. Convergence will take place in two forms:
1. Via a horizontal communication model: different access technologies such as cellular, wireless LAN type systems, short range wireless connectivity ...

... the standard chosen by 80% of the carriers in the world. (http://gigaom.com/2008/03/05/a-little-4g-sibling-rivalry/)
Value Proposition of 4G Technologies [WINNIE]
The total amount of mobile subscriber in North America, Asia, and Europe in 2010 is expected to grow into the 2.5 Billion. As this kind of demand growth requires the support of higher and better capacity networks, 4G will come into a great convenience and improve the users mobile usage behaviors. 4G will be able to provide the idea of “anytime, anywhere and any device” with its flexibility, bandwidth, and multimedia trend to converge. Looking at this from a global perspective, 4G will be able to give way to communication and connecting ubiquitous networks, such as e-commerce, unified messaging, and peer-to-peer networking so to expand the mobile and wireless surroundings to its utmost potential.[10]
Verizon offers a variety of services and products for its customers including: 100% 4G LTE wireless networks, largest portfolio of wireless devices and smartphones in the market, high speed broadband internet, television and interactive devices, and enterprise solutions information technology. The existence and size of Verizon’s current infrastructure as it relates to its retail locations, wireless coverage area, and its global ip network are above peer in comparison with its primary competitors. The global ip network itself spans over 150 countries and more than 2,700 cities. Meanwhile, Verizon is also the U.S. largest wireless provider and has more 4G LTE wireless coverage than all other networks combined.
1. Introduction This project proposal is written for the Srilankan telecommunication authority (SLT) for the implementation of an end to end network solution with very fast network infrastructure, which is IP based network called Next Generation Network (NGN) along with wireless 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE). It integrates all IP Packet Based communication. It offers users to unrestricted access to different service providers.
If someone sees a chance to get better cell service, chances are they are going to upgrade. There is no sense having a slower and less reliable network when you can easily upgrade to a better one. 5G is also expected to be involved in upcoming inventions. For example, “The top ideas included a game streaming service; a way to do stroke rehab through VR; smart bandages that track your healing; and a way for parents to interact with babies who are stuck in incubators” (Segan). 5G is going to be appealing to many consumers because how much easier it is going to make everyday tasks.

The propose research will address a problem confronting many two year institutions in the present-day (i.e. how to best plan, design, and implement WLAN technologies). While WLAN technologies offer the benefits of mobility, reduced installation time, and decreased cost, many challenges must be met by institutions deploying them (Geier, 2005). These issues are related to security, speed, interoperability, and equipment selection, ease of use, reliability, signal interference, installation, and health risks.
Nokia Networks is a broadband radio network provider, attracting customers all over the globe. Nokia Networks focuses on developing 5G, which is due to replace the old 4G. Networks’ main concern is the accommodation of an increasing amount of data traffic. Networks works towards an improved speed of uploads by developing a radio cloud network. The demand for speed grows as many phones are becoming richer
In the 1980s, first generation (1G) cell phones consisted of voice-only analog devices with limited range and features that were sold mainly in North America. In the 1990s, second generation (2G) devices consisted of voice/data digital cell phones with higher data transfer rates, expanded range, and more features. Sales of these devices expanded to Europe and Asia. In the twenty-first century, Nokia and other companies are combining several digital technologies into third generation (3G) communication devices that reach globally and feature the convergence of the cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), Internet services, and multimedia applications.

The idea to enter the world of the full cost carriers by low prices isn’t a new one. Already in 1977 Laker Airways founded the “Sky Train” between London and New York. Even if this service was never successful, more and more low cost carriers were founded during the progress of deregulation and the development of an own low cost strategy began.

G in 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G stands for the “Generation” of the mobile network. Today, mobile operators have started offering 4G services a higher number before the ‘G’ means more power to send out and receive more information and therefore the ability to achieve a higher efficiency through the wireless network. During the time of 1G, radio signals were transmitted in ‘Analogue’ form. 2G networks on the other hand, were based on narrow band digital networks. The 3rd generation of mobile networks has become popular and users access the Internet over devices like mobiles and tablets. This means a 3G network actually allows for more data transmission and therefore the network enables voice and video calling, file transmission, internet surfing, online TV, view high definition videos, play games and much more. 4th Generation mobile networks are believed to provide many value added features.
Wireless is everywhere today whether at home working from your WIFI network to work where you might be linked a wireless network or even through your phone through a 3G or 4G network to connecting to an open wireless networks. As you can see for the most part people are connecting to wireless from the moment they leave their home till they get to work and then back. While wireless comm...
Since the invention of the cell phones, in 1973, it has quickly become the most popular device used especially today during the twenty-first century. Due to its hands-free-easy-to-use design, the amount of people that own a cell phone is rapidly increasing. The useful text messaging feature has proved to be extremely useful in current times. Along with these helpful features, the cell phone is easily accessible and more portable. The majority of phone companies offer a 3G or 4G data plan, meaning internet access can be found on your phone almost anywhere, at any time. In addition to its easy portability, the cell phone is a very useful and helpful device, allowing one to stay connected to the outer world. “With a smartphone, you can connect to the Web from virtually anywhere. You ...
