4G Technology or Fourth Generation (4G) mobiles 

4G also called as Fourth-Generation Communications System, is a term used to describe the next step in wireless communications. A 4G system can provide a comprehensive IP solution where voice, data and streamed multimedia can be provided to users on an "Anytime, Anywhere" basis. The data transfer rates are also much higher than previous generations.

The main objectives of 4G are

1) 4G will be a fully IP-based integrated system.

2) This will be capable of providing 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s speeds both indoors and outdoors.

3) It can provide premium quality and high security.

4) 4G offer all types of services at an affordable cost.

4G is developed to provide high quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications such as wireless broadband access, Multimedia Messaging, Video Chat, Mobile TV, High definition TV content, DVB, minimal service like voice and data, and other streaming services.

4G technology allow high-quality smooth video transmission. It will enable fast downloading of full-length songs or music pieces in real time. The business and popularity of 4G mobiles is predicted to be very vast. On an average, by 2009, this 4Gmobile market will be over $400B and it will dominate the wireless communications, and its converged system will replace most conventional wireless infrastructure.

Data Rates for 4G

The downloading speed for mobile internet connections is from 9.6 kbit /s for 2G cellular at present. However, in actual use the data rates are usually slower, especially in crowded areas, or when there is congestion in network.

4G mobile data transmission rates are planned to be up to 20 megabits per second which means that it will be about 10-20 times faster than standard ASDL services. In terms of connection speeds, 4G will be about 200 times faster than present 2G mobile data rates, and about 10 times faster than 3G broadband mobile. 3G data rates are currently 2Mbit/sec, which is very fast compared to 2G's 9.6Kbit/sec.

When the saffron and White and Green was first unfurled over India on 15th August 1947…

The day we longed for has dawned at last. India awakes heaving like a mighty heart, thrilling with the first embrace of freedom. Her joy that sweeps through like a tempest from the snow clad Kinchinjanga and the green robed Khyber Pass to the saffron walled, foam fringed Kanya Kumari, speaks with the voice like the voice of many waters awaking all nations from their slumber with the reverberating salutation :

J A I    H I N D !!!

Shall we for whom patriotism is not merely a natural sentiment but also a divinely imposed duty, remain silent, unmoved? Oh No! Let all the strains of our joy mingle in one song, in one greeting: JAI HIND!

But more than voice or heart let our minds first gather in the full significance of this intoxicating twin syllable: Jai Hind. HIND? What is Hind? And what is the Jayam we wish to Hind? Is HIND an idol of the imagination? Is she a mythical goddess claiming some worship? Or is it merely the soil that gives us food?

Let our first Premier Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru answer this question: “Often as I wandered from meeting to meeting I spoke to my audiences of Bharata. Sometimes when I reached a gathering a great roar of welcome would greet me: Bharat Mata Ki Jai! I would ask them unexpectedly who was this Bharat Mata, whose victory they wanted... The mountains and rivers of India, the forest and the broad fields which give us food were all dear to us, but what counted ultimately was the people of India, people like them and me who were spread out over this vast land. Bharat Mata was essentially these millions of people and victory to her means victory to these people. You are parts of Bharat Mata, I told them, you are in a manner yourselves Bharat Mata, and as this idea slowly soaked into their brains, their eyes would light up as if they had made a great discovery."

Being commissioned to bring the good tiding to all men, we may and should put our whole heart in the wish: Hind, Our Land, we wish Jayam to thee!"

Motherland of thought and wisdom!
well-spring of kripa and ahimsa!
Hoary pyramid of an ancient civilization
Ivory palace of the arts and the muses
Velvet carpet of a perennial banquet!
Hind, our Hind, Land of our love!
We salute thee on this thy Day of Liberation

Bharat, our mother, we take the dust off thy dear feet in filial homage...

 

(Excerption from my uncle Rev. Fr. H. Patrick  Isaac’s article – "Jai Hind!",   15th August 1947)
