4G LTE network to kick off for Verizon on Sunday

Verizon Wireless has announced they are launching a 4G network on Sun, Dec. 5. This fourth-generation network technologies called, LTE, promises to offer near-broadband speeds. The Verizon 4G systems are being rolled out without any phones that support the technology, meaning people must wait until January to get a full hands-on experience.

Technologies accessible at Verizon as 4G LTE

The fourth generation wireless technology is exactly what the Verizon 4G systems are. There’s a 4G wireless network called WiMax. This is exactly what Sprint Nextel released. The LTE 4G is different than WiMax 4G. You will find common areas both wireless technologies could be used at. These areas are airports and large metropolitan areas. The technologies both need smaller wireless transmission points. These points have to be put together. The claims of Verizon's LTE 4G networks are great ones. Supposedly, 12 megabits per second come in. The speeds of “more than 10 megabits per second," is what Sprint's 4G network says.

Marketing Verizon 4G cell phones in Jan

Though the Verizon 4G LTE networks are presenting in limited areas, 4G networks are set to replace the current 3G networks fully by about 2013. The biggest issue for Verizon Wireless, though, is its lack of phones. The Verizon 4G network will only be used by some phones. USB modems are required on these phones. In January, many 4G phones will be released at the Consumer Electronics Show for Verizon Wireless. There is a really good network associated with Verizon Wireless. Customers wanting other cell phones have been lost though.

Verizon paying a great deal to pay for the network ability of 4G

There is a demand for speed when it comes to wireless networks. It costs cash to get speed though. Unlimited data plans have been crippling 3G networks around the country, and the increased usage expected with 4G networks could effortlessly do the exact same. There are access limits on the 4G network based on Verizon. The Verizon 4G networks won't even have a plan that’s unlimited. Instead, it could be priced at $50 for five gigabits per month and $80 for 10 gigabits. Having only five gigabits of data limits you to 1,000 or so web pages. It will also allow for 200 minutes of YouTube videos and 500 Facebook photos can be uploaded.
