Mobile phone 3.9G

The 3.9G mobile technology (also known as Super 3G), is a pre-4G intermediation technology, which is expected to hit the market in 2010. With this will be possible to obtain large amounts of data (reaching 100 Mbit / s) by simply modifying the current 3G networks.

The advantages of using this technology over 4G (planned for 2010, with 1 Gbit / s connections), is that it is not necessary to create and build a new network as it uses the current 3G network as a base. NTT DoCoMo plans to invest a large amount of money (which amounts to about $ 1 billion) to change the infrastructure, and thus make it fit for these high-speed connections.
