Samsung Joins 4G Race For Speedy Data Transfer
Samsung Electronics Co. plans to demonstrate today fourth-generation wireless phone technology capable of exchanging signals much faster than most fixed-line broadband services, such as digital subscriber line and cable, according to the WSJ.
"The 4G technology to be demonstrated will take several more years to become commercially viable. But Samsung says it has created mobile transmitters and receivers that can exchange data at 100 megabits a second in a vehicle moving as fast as 37 miles an hour.
The Korean company also will demonstrate today another system that can exchange data via a wireless connection 10 times faster than that, or at one gigabit a second, at a fixed point.
By comparison, broadband DSL data moves at less than one megabit a second, and most cable broadband systems exchange data at about five to six megabits a second."
