amitnsonu 72 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 Hi friends, I am little confused here. BWA auction are going on in India and I had read that India is going for 4G straight. can someone please differentiate between 3G and 4G. In 3G we can have video calls, tv on mobile, and high speed data then what thing remain to be covered by 4G? and what will happen to 3G if 4G also coming at same time. Please help.

Arun 795 Report post Posted June 9, 2010 TD-LTE and Mobile WiMAX are the technologies that will be used by the companies who are bidding now. LTE is a 4G technology for sure, while whether Mobile WiMAX is 4G or not is debatable, though technically it does meet 4G specifications. Obviously LTE and WiMAX are rival technologies and so such debates can derive. WiMAX claims its technology is more mature (hence immediate deployment) and that LTE needs more time (in terms of years) to become mature.
