Curious about what the heck 4G is anyway? Wonder what all the hype about 4G LTE is?
Want to scratch the surface of what this new generation of mobile network technology
can provide to the user and enterprise? This evening's presentation will give a glimpse
of some of the "under the hood" aspects of the latest generation of mobile network
technologies including:

    Brief history of the G force (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G)
    What is 4G - definitions and major features, services and capabilities
    Focus on 4G LTE - brief zoom through the network architecture(s)
    Some thoughts on what this means for the user experience
    What is coming for future iterations of 4G LTE as seen from the standards
    Is 5G real?
