Mobile Broadband - Convenient, Portable & Flexible
Do you enjoy using WiFi but hate the confinement that it comes with? Mobile broadband is quickly becoming a better, more accessible alternative to WiFi, offering DSL bandwidth speeds to customers through their laptops, netbooks, mobile phones and PDAs. WiFi is quickly losing its edge due to the restraints that comes with it. The problem with WiFi is that if you want to connect, then you must be in a WiFi hotspot and, crucially, you must be stationary. You could say that a WiFi connection is similar to a cordless telephone, whereas mobile broadband is like the mobile telephone, enabling fast internet access, anywhere. Mobile broadband has changed the way businesses operate. Mobile broadband communication now means businesses can have virtual conferences and meetings with their employees and clients anywhere in the world and can quickly update clients and employees with new information.
Mobile broadband uses the same technology as mobile phones, through radio waves and frequencies. The way mobile phones work is by sending and receiving audio data through the telephone masts. Mobile broadband works in almost the same way, though the data that is transferred contains packets of web pages, emails, audio and video data; all sent and received through the telecommunications towers.
Since the introduction of mobile broadband, technology has progressed quite rapidly, below is a chronological list of the improving formats:
-EDGE was the first format of mobile broadband and was particularly slow.
-3g was the second development of mobile broadband. The increased speeds meant that it was a viable option if users were unable to find a suitable WiFi hotspot.
-Following 3g was HSDPA. It is quite fast, though not as fast as WiFi.
-The latest standard is HSUPA. HSUPA can give users mobile broadband speeds almost equal to WiFi and has a good coverage ratio.
The future for mobile broadband formats comes in the guise of the WIMAX (4g) connection. WIMAX will have the ability to give very fast connection speeds, above what most WiFi connections can offer, plus is will offer a wide coverage ratio. With the constantly improving mobile internet access speeds, accessibility to the internet is increasing non-stop. In ten years we could begin to see a reduction in the number of people signing up to cable DSL, instead turning to companies offering mobile broadband connections. It would be possible to have just one internet service provider that you could access from anywhere in the world, on any type of device, from PCs to consoles to PDAs.
