4G Americas, a wireless industry trade association representing the 3GPP family of technologies, today applauded the final ratification of LTE-Advanced as an offical 4G standard by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Both LTE Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced (802.16m) are the real deal — ITU sanctioned 4G standards. Both will deliver up to 100 Mbps (mobile) and up to 1 Gbps (fixed). In order to deliver those speeds, however, both need 20 Mhz wide channels and up to 4×4 MIMO antennas on both the receiver and basestation.
In its October meeting, ITU’s Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) completed the assessment of six candidate submissions and reached a milestone by deciding on LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced for the first release of IMT-Advanced, their package of offical 4G standards.
Final ratification of the full IMT-Advanced technology family took place at the ITU-R Study Group meeting on November 22 and 23, 2010 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The standards will now move into the final stage of the IMT-Advanced process, which provides for the development in early 2012 of an ITU-R Recommendation specifying the in-depth technical standards for these radio technologies.
“This day is a milestone to remember for mobile broadband connectivity,” said Chris Pearson, President of 4G Americas. The future for mobile broadband technologies has never been brighter to help progress societies in the Americas and throughout the world.”

ITU needs to safeguard society from ICT abuses
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) have to relook its role and constitution in ensuring that the advancement of telecommunication - as well as information and communications technology (ICT) - does not erode the culture, values and tradition of people.
ITU promotes the use and adoption of technology, ICT and the Internet, on the other hand must play an important role in countering online fraud, child pornography and the exploitation of women and children.
ITU must act swiftly to preserve the commonality of cultures among us and protect society from threats brought by the abuse of technology and innovation. ITU members must revisit their role, and that in today's world it is not enough for ITU to just address the issues on infrastructure development, universal access, resource management, standards and the development of ICT.
ITU must also consider the goodness of society. ITU need not be a regulator in the extreme but the concern for mankind must always be there, particularly so because it is the ITU which promotes the use and adoption of technology, ICT and the Internet.
The whilst governments promoted the latest technology and innovation to transform the lives of its citizens, and also have to ensure that the very fabric of society is protected from threats brought by its misuse and abuse.
The Internet is no longer a mere tool to gather knowledge and communicate but is now shaping public opinion and gaining influential ground, to the extent that our cultures, values and traditions are being eroded; then ITU must look back to our Constitution to see if it provides the means for us to take collective measures to counter this.
There is a need for ITU to harness ICT, the Internet and the tools of civilisation to safeguard the well being of children and future generations.
ITU must deliberate over how to manage the waves of social issues arising from new media, and that the challenges of social networking applications are setting new boundaries for the rights of an individual and the need for privacy laws.
It is time for the ITU to be the catalyst to harness measures and reasonably curb the misuse and abuse of the Internet against any aggrieved party.
Sovereign nations and governments should make no apologies for doing this, nor should we apologise for taking steps to preserve our culture, values and traditions.
We hoped that the ITU would facilitate the work to help the member countries to manage both the positive and negative sides of the Internet.

LTE-Advanced & IEEE 802.16m WiMAX both officially selected as 4G standard by ITU
The Korea Communications Commission said Wednesday that two key mobile communication technologies -- Long Term Evolution-Advanced and WiBro Evolution -- were recently chosen as fourth generation (4G) global standards.
In a meeting in Vietnam held June 9-16, the International Telecommunication Union passed the global standardization tests for the two technologies, which are intended to be used as 4G mobile communication systems.
ITU is an international organization which specializes in deciding standards on radio and telecommunications.
The organization will complete developing the specific standardization framework for the new technologies by March 2011 and grant final approval in February 2012, according to KCC officials.
“With Korea playing a key role in the international standardization effort, the nation will be able to lead the way in designing core technologies for the next generation,” said Kim Jeong-sam, director of the radio spectrum policy division at the KCC.
The two new technologies, which are already adopted by many European and Asian countries, will enable mobile phone users to get faster access to the mobile Internet at comparable speeds to Web surfing on a personal computer.
Better known as WiMAX Evolution in other countries, the WiBro Evolution’s research has been led by Samsung Electronics and the state-funded Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.
WiBro Evolution is deemed to be 10 times faster the high-speed downlink packet access technology adopted by the current 3G mobile phones.
The initiative for technology standardization was taken forward by the Telecommunications Technology Association in Korea, which worked in cooperation with groups based in other nations such as Japan and the U.S.
