'Record Breaking' Internet Speed of 1.9 Gbps over 4G Mobile Network By Elisa

A new record has been set for the world's fastest 4G mobile internet speed

 

      Elisa, one of the biggest Finnish Internet Service Providers (ISP), claims to have achieved a new world record for 4G network with 1.9 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) data download speed using Huawei technology.

      The hyper-fast mobile internet service could theoretically download a Blu-ray film in 44 seconds.

     It has used the technology provided by Chinese telecoms giant Huawei to deliver a mobile network speed that edged close to the 2Gbps threshold.

       By comparison, its fastest commercial network speed is 1.9 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) 

      In February however, one university research team - not affiliated with a network provider - managed to achieve a 5G mobile speed of 1 terabit per second (Tbps), which is more than fifty times faster than Elisa's 4G speed.

     Mobile virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as "high quality 4K video and beyond", are cited by Mr Mattila as applications likely to benefit most from hyper-fast network speeds.

Do You Need Ultra-High Speed Mobile Internet?

         You might be thinking that why a mobile user needs an ultra-high speed internet connection?

        If higher speeds have the potential for a more connected world with the faster flow of information, then what's wrong in it?

       Hyper-fast network speeds will not only be a boon to virtual reality and augmented reality but also will accelerate the mobile video market, facilitating the streaming of larger files, like "high-quality 4K video and beyond."

      Moreover, in today's portable world, mobile customers also make use of their mobile Internet data on their laptops and desktops via tethering feature and higher speeds will improve their Internet experience.
