  3. 3g connections • 3G is available in nearly every major city in the US. • Speeds range from 450kbps to 1400kbps as seen below • To access 3G you must have a 3G capable device and a data plan • 3G is not too bad price wise, but overages can cost thousands • Can be used to access internet, make calls (video and voice), and download/upload data.

  5. 4g connections • The Newest mobile connection available to the public • Can reach speeds of 100mbps download and 50mbps upload (under ideal circumstances) • 4G works by using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing or OFDM • OFDM: Signal is divided in to parallel data streams and then brought back together once it reaches your device • Under real world conditions, testers got 6mbps download on 4G and 1mbps on 3g • 4g isn’t available everywhere (see next slide)
