AT&T and Verizon Expand Their 4G LTE Networks

In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile communications standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Likely applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.

Verizone covers 75 % of USA through its 4G network

Verizon Wireless customers with compatible 4G LTE smartphones, modems, tablets and mobile hotspots will be able to wirelessly surf the Web, stream music and video, and download files up to 10 times faster than customers on 3G.

In real-world, fully loaded network environments, Verizon Wireless? 4G LTE customers should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.

That expansion brings Verizon?s 4G LTE?grand total to 370 markets here in the United States, making it the carrier with the largest 4G LTE footprint far and away its original land.

AT&T on the other hand has some catching up to do. However, the carrier has taken another step in that direction today by expanding to five new markets today bringing its total 4G LTE footprint up to 53.

Both carriers plan to complete their 4G LTE roll outs by the end of 2013 though it?s clear that Verizon will very likely complete its roll out much sooner than that.

AT&T has brought 4G LTE access to five new markets that include Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville, Arkansas. It has also brought service to Waco, Texas.

This means that customers in those areas can now utilize 4G LTE devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note and Nokia Lumia 900.

T-Mobile is even further behind as the carrier has not yet launched its 4G LTE network and won?t be doing so until sometime in 2013.
