4G IS HERE: Telstra?s 2011 rollout.February 14, 2011The nation?s largest telco Telstra has revealed plans to upgrade its Next Gmobile network in central business districts around the nation to the Long-Term Evolution (LTE) standard by the end of 2011,introducing the ?4G? or fourth generation marketing term into the Australian market as it is doing so. From the Comments:If you did radio telecommunications engineering, you would realise that theamount of spectrum available for 4G services would probably be able to give everyone 100mbit speeds uncongested, even in highdensity areas. In fact its even in the 4G standard to use much more spectrum available (which you can see hereFurthermore, 4G has numerous benefits over 3G (not including being able to usemore spectrum)- It can jump to different spectrum bands ?instantly?, which is what allows 4Gto download so much faster- It has much higher spectral efficiency (that is, it is able to deliver muchmore bits per spectrum, i.e. It uses topologies much better then 3G- It uses leveraging of spectrum to provide much better latency then 3G (this isalready evident by Verizon?s deployment, which cut latency by average in half)Cheers Don...==========================-- Don McKenzieSite Map: Contact Page: Camera Page: More Damn Spam: These products will reduce in price by 5% every month:Bare Proto PCB for PIC or AVR projects?"I'd buy that for a Dollar!".

Over to you Roddles, debunking time. Or to put it another way, time for pork with a hole in it.

NBN verses 4G. Is there a contest?

Yes really

Yep

The existin copperwire is obsolete and worn out. Simply needs replacing and that's going to be with optic fibre. If it is not Australias landlines will go the way of the Dodo. Both Labor anf Liberal are going ahead with the NBN

The coperwire landline is ancient and aging. Fibre is cheaper to replace than copperwire and is capable of doing more in the way of Telecomunications than Copperwire. Australia has determined it is in the National inerest to replace it at a cost of at least $43 Billion.

What is the result of zero landline in Australia? Wireless base Stations will still need Fibre connections and each 4g station will have to be at least 30 kilometre radius (more in "blackspots")

I live in Campbelltown the Copperwire is so pathetic, higher speed broadband was a platform Russell Mathews MP for Macarthur was voted in on

Wrong. It will eventually be everywhere.

Nope, it will mostly be used by those who need the portability and those who dont use the net much.

Perhaps if you explain how much bandwidth or customers are lost through relaying/retransmission in a wireless-only network you could get some traction.

**I'll believe when I see it. I live around 20km from the GPO of the largest city in the country. Mobile 'phone reception is flakey (on all carriers) and I regularly get drop-outs. Wireless internet simply doesn't work where I live. I can't even get decent ADSL2 speeds. Internet 'phone systems are a joke. I suspect I am not alone. There is a fibre node, situated a tantalisingly close 50 Metres from my front door. Roll on NBN. 4G will become just as congested as 3G is a very short period. There is a market for wireless internet, just as there is a market for fibre. I don't need to tell you that for fibre to be congested is very unlikely in the near future. If an when that happens, another fibre just needs to be dropped into the same hole. Wireless is fundamentally limited. Fibre is not.
