Telecom technology has taken a giant leap and India continues to be the prime destination for the mobile operators and network providers for its ever growing smart phone user base. India, one of the fastest growing markets for mobile phones can be full of surprises.
The next thing to disruptively make a difference in wireless broadband services in India is 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution). 4GLTE is the next generation in mobile network development and will offer faster data transmission than 3G is capable of. 4G LTE is a radio access technology that operates on 2300 Mhz band in India where as it is available at 1800 Mhz in many countries.
LTE is not compatible with 2G and 3G, so when buying a device in India, one has to check if the phone is compatible with 2300 MHz. 4G is designed to provide up to 10x the speeds of 3G networks for portable devices like smartphones, tabs, netbooks, notebooks and wireless hotspots. 4G technologies will enable voice, data and multimedia streaming @ 100 Mbit per second and up to as fast as 1 Gbit @ per second.
This much speed means you can stream clear and crispy video content, download songs in time and apps will download as soon as you click on install tab. India is a price sensitive market and 3G did not pick up as expected by telecom providers, the data plans have been expensive and people would rather wait for download on 2G than pay extra. If Indian history is followed, then the prices of data transfers of 3G may go down. After a pan India launch of 4G. However, phones compatible with 4G LTE may not support 2G or 3G. This may give India disruptive growth and encourage users to update to 4G compatible devices. It will be a challenge and it is interesting to see what strategy operators adopt to face this challenge.
