US : Mobile broadband use continues to grow as both businesses and individuals put broadband technologies to work via Wi-Fi hotspots and 3G mobile data. While most people use their mobile devices for voice, texting and e-mail, the emergence of applications such as high quality video downloads and streaming, virtual collaboration and Web 2.0 applications will eventually overwhelm current mobile broadband offerings.

That’s where 4G enters the picture. 4G technologies will offer always-on wireless connectivity enabling a real-time multimedia experience for end users. 4G will allow mobile users not just to send and receive emails, but to deal with large file transfers, view high-resolution streaming content or to have a high-quality interactive video experience.

But the 4G space is confusing and complex, with multiple standards and heavy-hitters in the industry hyping their choice as the “answer”. If you’re responsible for mobile IT – what do you do? To help answer this question, “4G Ahead” will examine, explore and define what 4G will mean to the enterprise and covers the following points:

• What is 4G?
• Why it matters for Enterprise? What will businesses use it for?
• Competing technologies – What will win out? Will there be a standards war, who’s driving each technology, and how will it end?
• How should IT prepare for a 4G world?
