4G technology provides fully packet-switched networks optimized for high-speed data transmission. 4G networks are projected to offer download speeds of 100Mbps for mobile use and 1Gbps when stationary. Previous mobile technologies included 0G, 1G, 2G, and 3G networks. 4G aims to offer faster speeds, better coverage, and lower costs compared to previous generations through the use of technologies like OFDM and IPv6. 4G networks will create hybrid wireless networks using technologies like ad hoc networking to provide reliable broadband access.
