Turkcell, Vodafone and Avea left the 4.5G tender by purchasing many lines. The concluded 4.5G tender is now under development and will be put into service as of April 2016.. We get excited, of course, but do we know why? What is this 4.5G? What will it bring us? How will this affect internet package prices when the access speed increases with 4.5G? Here are the answers.
Fourth generation wireless communication networks are called 4G, ie 4th Generation. Since LTE Advanced will be used instead of 4G in Turkey, this name has been redefined as 4.5G instead of 4G.
How fast is 4.5G?
Standard 4G connection promises 100Mbps speed. However, 4.5G or LTE Advanced, with its real name, can reach 300Mbps (37.5MB per second) and above.. 4.5G can give us the chance to upload an 8GB movie in 6 minutes. The 3G networks we use today in our daily lives can reach 25Mbps if they are not busy.. But this speed has never been experienced definitively.. In other words, the promised speed of 4.5G is actually a number on paper for now.
What does 4.5G do?
In fact, 3G, which can be extremely sufficient today (Under Normal Conditions), it works for us in web roaming and communication. On the other hand, with 4.5G, video and music streaming services will work without any more “buffering”. Video communication applications such as Skype, Facebook Messenger or Hangouts will allow us to chat with high image quality, without stuttering.. It will be understood to be extremely fast, especially when downloading and uploading large and heavy files to cloud-based storage systems.
When will 4.5G be used?
It will start working right after the tender. operators will be providing this service as of April 1, 2016, unless otherwise stated.. In addition, according to the tender conditions, operators have to deliver 4.5G service to 95% of Turkey’s population by 2024.. In short, starting next year, first in the pilot regions, which will be the big cities of Turkey, the service will gradually spread throughout the country in the following years.
Is 4.5G an expensive service?
Actually no. Because according to one view, users will consume quota faster as they will connect to the internet much faster with 4.5G.. Therefore, operators can reduce their unit cost prices, for example, by increasing their 4GB internet packages to 6GB at the same tariff.. This could be a very sensible marketing strategy. However, this is Turkey, not to get caught without seeing the stream.
What will happen to 3G?
In fact, those who use 3G will also benefit from this situation. With the 4.5G frequency serving, the capacity of 3G services will increase. In short, when 4.5G is started to be used, the problems experienced with 3G will decrease relatively.
Come on 4.5G, okay, what happened to 5G?
We can look at it with certainty that we will not use 5G in the near future.. Because testing is scheduled to begin in 2018.. The worldwide use of 5G will be widespread starting in 2020.
Will there be a tender for G
No. Because the 4.5G tender actually included 5G.. In other words, the participants purchased the necessary permissions for both 4.5G services and 5G technologies in the tender. Therefore, there was no need for a new tender for 5G.
