4G and 3G in Pakistan

3G Vs 4G – Which is Better?
Pros and Cons of the 3G and 4G Networks

As you are well aware, most mobile phones and smartphones at present in Pakistan india and in so many poor countries still run the 2G network, both for voice and data access.

3G is shorthand for “3rd generation,” and refers
to a networking standard in cell phone
technology that is capable of providing high-
speed data service to mobile devices. As 3G
wireless networks became more widespread, you
could finally connect to and use the Internet at
practical speeds (with a 3G-enabled
smartphone), which far surpassed those of the
previous generation of mobile phone technology
(called 1X).
Verizon’s 3G network paved the way for a world
that’s almost forgotten phones were once used
merely for voice calls and text messaging. A
world where it’s perfectly ordinary to download
huge chunks of information to your phone from
the Internet, to stream audio and video to
people thousands of miles away, and to
effortlessly, wirelessly pass large multimedia
files to a co-worker.
Indeed, it was 3G that made smartphones truly
feasible. In doing so, it changed the way
millions of people communicate, and set the
stage for even more advanced mobile
technologies such as 4G.
What is 4G?
In one word: fast!
To be technical, 4G stands for “4th generation”
mobile data protocol. But as a growing band of
4G users will tell you, it’s all about the speed.
Now, what is 4G LTE? LTE stands for Long
Term Evolution. It’s a term used for the
particular 4G protocol that delivers the fastest
mobile Internet experience. Some experts even
refer to it as “true 4G.” A 4G LTE network is
therefore one that operates at the leading edge
of speed and reliability.
Using a 4G smartphone on Verizon’s 4G LTE
network means you can download files from the
Internet up to 10 times faster than with 3G.
With 4G LTE, using the web from your phone
becomes as pleasurable as using it from your
home computer.
To join the 4G revolution, you need to have a
smartphone that is configured to work with a
4G network and a mobile plan like MORE
Everything. All 4G phones offered by Verizon will
work with its 4G LTE network, the largest in the
U.S. These phones will connect automatically
with the 4G LTE network, but they can also
connect to and use the 3G network (at 3G
speed) in places where 4G LTE service is not
yet available.
So there you have it. 3G speeds laid the
groundwork for our increasingly mobile lifestyle,
but 4G speeds are truly taking “mobile” to the
next level.

3G is also used by some of the biggest carriers and, inspite of the advent of 4G, still manages to retain its popularity.

4G, which has also become the standard for wireless communication, also has its share of loyal customers in some pockets of the world. While 3G itself is very fast, 4G is already said to be 3-4 times faster than it.

Of course, like everything else, both the 3G and 4G networks have their pros and cons. Here is a detailed analysis of 3G vs 4G.

3G Networking

Pros

3G offers much faster data transfers, up to speeds as high as 2Mbps.
Developers can use this network to create maps and positioning services, which are regularly accessed by the younger population.
This network also offers powerful multimedia services, using which you can develop apps such as online billing systems, video conferencing and so on.


Those wishing to develop visual voicemail apps will do very well to work on the 3G network.
3G is a preferred platform for many popular mobile phone games, especially those which contain graphics and animation.
Advanced developers can also develop apps for mobile TV, IM and video chatting, as 3G supports all these and much more.
Cons

Because subscribing to 3G networks is expensive, you should understand that your clientele, though exclusive, will be limited in number. Most users prefer not to use 3G, as its cost deters them. There will still be 3G users to purchase your apps, but they will not be a concentrated part of the population.
Also, though 3G users have the facility of enjoying video conferencing sessions with other 3G customers, they may not do too much more than that. So your sales of 3G apps may remain low-scale.
3G, though available in most parts of the world today, still has to catch on in some nations. Users in these locations may opt for other types of network.
The 4G network

Pros

4G offers is very good for advanced mobile services such as video and movie streaming. This offers much higher speed than 3G or WiFi.
Unlike WiFi, 4G has far expanded coverage and hence, offers more or less constant connectivity.
Users, especially business users, are more likely to use 4G, as it offers them more security than WiFi. This enhances safety and privacy of data.
You can choose from wide payment options. If you are renting 4G equipment, you can choose from among many pay-as-you-go plans.
Many companies are introducing low-cost 4G introductory offers. You can avail whichever suits you the best.
Cons

Though 4G coverage is expanding rapidly, it still is not available in many locations of world.
Though 4G offers great quality connectivity, it is still in the formative stages and could result in bugs or glitches.
You will have to purchase a wireless modem or take it on rent. This is available at reasonable rates, though.
In conclusion, both 3G and 4G networking have a great deal to offers in terms of speed and quality. 4G technology is expected to catch on and become the premier connectivity provider in the coming few years.
