Samsung demo 3.5Gbps 4G mobile technology
Samsung are to demonstrate 4G mobile technology at the annual Samsung 4G Forum in Jeju Island, Korea. Star of the show will be Samsung's demo of the data transfer rates that can be reached with 4G technology. When travelling at 60km/h, speeds can reach 100Mbps; when stationery, 3.5Gbps is possible.
4G technology won't be available for some time yet, and of course, these speeds should be taken with an air of caution - ridiculous speeds were also promised for 3G before reality landed as heavy as the sigh of the indebted mobile operators who bought into it. Still, even with speeds at a fraction of 3.5Gbps, we're still looking at some seriously fast data rates coming our way. Let's just hope they don't cost the earth!
