In INdia we have not been introduced to 3G phones and technology yet. And so is China, the Chinese mainland is still to get 3G i.e. the Third Generation Phones.

While on the other hand a district in China i.e. Sanghai has launched 4G and is on trial.

The world’s first fourth-generation (4G) mobile communication system was officially launched yesterday in Shanghai’s Changning District after a field trial was conducted in October.

The home-grown 4G system provides speeds of up to 100 mbps in wireless transmission of data and images many times faster than that of current mobile technology.

The rollout of the trial, which has cost 150 million yuan ($19.2 million), is a milestone in the development of China’s 4G technologies.

The country has set a goal of conducting field tests of the 4G system and putting it into trial commercial use between 2006 and 2010, according to the FuTURE Project.

“The Shanghai system shows that we have entered the final phase of our project,” said You, also the principal of the FuTURE Project’s expert panel.

The FuTURE Project involves about 10 leading domestic institutions.
