4G, or 4th generation, wireless technology is expected to be promoted at this year’s annual CTIA festival. The newest wave of technology designed to connect mobile phone users to the internet, 4G can transmit data at speeds between 2 to 5 megabits per second– about 2 to 3 times the speeds generally available with 3G. This translates into faster, smoother downloading of large files like music and videos.

Sprint is expected to introduce its first smartphone designed to take advantage of the speeds offered by the latest generation of wireless at CTIA this week. Sprint currently has a 4G network available in 2 dozen cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Seattle.

Verizon Wireless expects to offer 4G in select cities by the end of the year. AT&T is expected to offer 4G early in 2011. Meanwhile, both carriers intend to develop and improve their current 3G networks. T-Mobile’s current network doesn’t have the spectrum necessary for 4G. The company is exploring options that will allow it to provide 4G access to its subscribers.
