Atlanta Is Getting Cozy with the Very Best in Mobile—4G

When the residents of Atlanta learnt that their city would be the next site for the deployment of cutting edge 4G networks, more than a few wireless enthusiasts living in Atlanta most likely fainted. It's just that for anybody that actually knows the least bit about what fourth generation mobile standards actually represent as far as capabilities are concerned, hearing such news is like telling a child that Santa Claus will be stopping by to pay them a personal visit. And now that the folks of Atlanta have been living with 4G for a little while already, they are beginning to actually make the best of the many incredible features and capabilities-the sheer raw power-of such networks and the many different devices that can operate over such networks.



What many people are discovering in Atlanta just as in every market where fourth generation networks have been rolled out, is that the extent of the coverage in geographical terms exceeds even their wildest expectations. For people accustomed to the pathetically limited scope of a WiFi hotspot, these fourth generation coverage areas are like something out of the distant future. This tremendous geographical coverage area is largely due to the transmission technology that is preferred by the mobile industry, known as WiMax. There are several attributes to this particular transmission technology that make it very appealing not only from an industry perspective but also from an end-user perspective: on the one hand, the reach of the signal is up to 40 or 50 miles greater than a regular WiFi tower's reach, already a major improvement; secondly, instead of emanating the signal in a given direction these transmitters use special omni-directional antennas that send the signal out in all directions. This means there is less need for infrastructure development (such as erecting the tower stations, which many people don't want to have "in my backyard") as the signal travels farther and in more directions, ensuring that everyone in the surroundings has the ability to connect.



But the improvements over previous generations of mobile networks don't just stop there. For example, with the technology mentioned above the internet traffic that is generated in an enormously populated market such as Atlanta gets much more intelligently distributed. Mobile networks of the past suffered under the stress of excessive traffic over given communications cells; today's networks, however, have automatic fail-safe mechanisms in place that transfer traffic requests to another cell once a given cell reaches a maximum permitted volume of traffic. Also, whereas in the past users experienced an interruption in their service when they traveled between different (and heterogeneous) networks, today with 4G the level of interoperability between networks is so high that you can switch networks a dozen times as you move around the city and never even realize it!



With all these incredible features and capabilities, the people of Atlanta are starting to realize that 4G is a whole lot more than they could have possibly realized at first-and it only continues to grow in potential!
