5G Mobile Network Devices 4G LTE Backward & 6G Forward Compatible? Trump push for 5G???
https://www.signalbooster.com/blogs/news/5g-mobile-network-devices-4g-lte-backward-6g-forward-compatibleIt seems that every few years, there is a new development in mobile phone technology. Despite creating the term LTE, meaning Long Term Evolution, to stem the numbering of networks after 2G and 3G, we have continued with the sequence from 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G (to be active in 2019), to 6G ETA 2030. The reason for this is that the speeds of 4G LTE and later networks are going to be so drastically great - They need more clarification than simply "LTE".
While, for the most part, these advances are superfluous, there are times when cell phone owners should take note, specifically when a new generation of networking becomes available. Fortunately, for all you folks that love your 4G LTE smartphones, they will continue to work on 4G technology because 4G LTE networks cannot be phased out completely. The 5G mobile network devices WILL BE backward compatible with earlier (or actually current) technology 4G LTE, so that they can fall back to it if 5G is not available at any moment, at any location. However, they MAY NOT BE forward compatible with the yet to be developed 6G technology.
Network clogging 2G networks are mostly phased out worldwide. While the 3G and 4G networks may be on the way out, replaced with 5G network, this 5th Generation Mobile Network is creating quite a buzz in the technology and mobile device world which is predicted to be 6G forward compatible in 2030. What makes it so great? This article will let you know.
The biggest pro of the 5G network in comparison to its predecessors 3G and 4G LTE will be that it will offer incredible speeds for uploading and downloading data. While the 3G and the 4G phones have capabilities of delivering high MBps (megabytes per second) of content, the 5G phone boasts of being able to give users a 1GB per second for multiple connections. Theoretically, this places the speed of the 5G network around 100X faster than the 4G LTE currently available. This ability will slingshot the mobile phone into the multi-media arena, allowing for cellphone users to stream live video feeds, download full feature movies, high definition games, and more.
