Is 4G Wireless Enough to Sate Consumers?
As data traffic explodes on wireless networks thanks to smartphones and other connected mobile devices, 4G wireless technology is expected to solve mobile operators' network congestion problems. But is 4G really the savior so many people expect it to be?
At the Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT here this week, experts in the wireless industry warned that it will take more than the next generation of network technology to keep up with traffic demand. Wireless operators need to think differently about how they build and manage their network as well as how they develop applications that use the infrastructure to ensure they get the most use out of their networks.
The bottom line is that building new networks is not cheap. And the latest generation of technology is not enough to meet growing demand.
