Launched in Bangladesh on 19 February 2018 Done 4G, which is still the most talked about topic in the telecom sector. Grameenphone and Banglalink could not launch their Forge network in most areas till February 21, although Robi Saying The company has launched Forge or 4.5G in 64 districts of the country.

GP’s Forge 21 February Until Launched in some areas of Dhaka and Chittagong Done. Banglalink’s Forge has been launched in some areas of Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, Khulna, Bagerhat and Jessore till February 21, according to their customer care. 4G policy of BTRC According toMobile operators will have to launch the service in all districts and cities of the country within a year and a half of getting the license, 4G will have to be taken in all upazilas within three years. Every operator says they will expand the 4G network as soon as possible. Teletalk will launch 4G in a few days.

You may have already noticed that GP and Banglalink call their new service 4G but Robi says 4.5G. The subject is remarkable. But did Robi launch something different than Forge? Many people have asked me this question and I will look for the answer in this post.

4G key

The 4th generation mobile network service 4G standard was first published in 2006. The International Telecommunication Union sets this standard By Initially the maximum speed of 4G is considered to be 100 megabits / second, whereas the speed of 3G is 6.2 to 52 Mbps. Like At that time mobile network service companies were able to raise a peak speed of 100 Mbps due to technical limitations even after investing large sums of money. Not happening. On the other hand, due to the international standard, they could not say 4G even though they provided services close to the original 4G standard. Then another word with Forge was added to ‘LTE’ or ‘Long Term Evolution’. Meant by Is That is, mobile network companies are moving towards 4G and the next generation 5G. That’s when the idea of ​​4G LTE started. It’s faster than 3G, but not exactly 4G. 4G LTE reduces the obligation of operators to increase the peak speed to 100 Mbps. So the speed of the original Forge was higher than that of the then 4G LTE.

What is 4.5G?

With the technological advancement comes the improvement of 4G LTE. It will take 2020, or even 2026, for the 5G market to come Can Therefore, the network service providers want to take advantage of the development that is being achieved in the 4G network. Forge launched Is In 2013. Then the technology to increase the speed of the network was discovered. But that’s not enough to say 5G. And for this, the network with less than 5G speed but more than 4G speed is being marketed as 4.5G. Another of 4.5 g Name 4.5G – LTE Advance Pro (or LTE A). Maximum speed of 4.5G 1 Gbps Or more More

What about 4G and 4.5G services in Bangladesh?

If you are using 3G in Bangladesh, you should have a good idea about the speed available here. The speed of mobile internet depends on many factors. Such as- capacity of mobile operator, capacity of mobile handset of customers, availability of network, number of users at the same time etc. All in all, as you get 3G service, 4G is expected to be better than that.

Mobile operators in Bangladesh Said They will offer at least twice the speed of internet service on mobile for 3G. It can be 8 megabits / second (around) (1 megabyte per second data transfer). At present the average of Four-G technology in the world Speed 16.8 Mbps. The current average 4G speed in India is 6.13 Mbps. Singapore has the highest average Forge speed at 48.64 Mbps. Dividing the number of Mbps (megabits per second or ‘mbps’) by 7 gives the measure of megabytes per second (MB / second).

How much does Forge Internet cost?

Technically comparable to 4G than 3G Is low cost. With the launch of Forge, the price of mobile internet packages will not be much higher than at present Reported Grameenphone CEO Michael Foley.

So will I take Robi 4.5G or Grameenphone 4G or Banglalink 4G?

You need to decide which operator to hire based on your usage experience in your area, yourself and the people around you. Teletalk has not yet launched 4G, so their specifications will be known. You may remember, when 3G came to Bangladesh Robbie said They Comes with 3.5G. At that time Grameenphone said That GP 3.9G service Will give In other words, both operators are expected to offer more than 3G. But in reality, if you ask yourself how you got 3G service from any operator, you will know. However, on the Facebook page of mobile operators (GP, Robi, Banglalink) When the announcement of 4G came, (and even before) a part of the customers expressed their dissatisfaction with 3G. Again, many have expressed satisfaction.
