4G LTE




Long-Term Evolution ( LTE) is a standard for high-speed wireless communication for mobile phones and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS /
HSPA technologies. It increases the capacity and speed using a different radio interface

In simple terms:

 This is wireless mobile technology an upgrade from the 3G network to 4G(fourth Generation ). This in return comes with high internet speeds.

Speeds? Apparently it ranges from 5-15mbps but in perfect conditions (theoretically) you may hit 50mbps. This is so cool considering the fact with 3G it would hit a max of 7.2mbps

Now with this technology it does not just happen automatically some factors have to be considered ; first is your mobile provider offering it? If so go swap you data line and have an upgrade.
 As you head to swap the sim card also check whether you phone is 4G enable because if its not you still screwed.

 The bad side:


This technology is still fairly new so its not available everywhere. Trust me some parts of Kenya we still use EDGE (2G) . Not sure who to blame alshabab/Government/opposition?

Expensive -  as stated above this us still new so new hardware and the cost keep going up. But with time the cost will level up.
Did I just forget to mention data cost are still way up. High speed internet combined with high data charges, how better can it get?

Battery - 4G uses multiple antennas for quality signal strength thus puts more stains on the battery and reducing up time

Hackers -  we all love them and want to be like them. this is a new system so they are prone to bugs and zero day attacks. this is on the lower side but just in case you never know.

in conclusion:

As much as i beat the hell out of 4G its here to stay its the best so far (till 5G is out probably by 2020 ). this fast connections will enable business to grow, make communication faster and in general bust the economy.

Revolutionizing Agriculture: Precision Farming with Drones and Sensors

  Drones in Agricuture In the rapidly evolving world of agriculture, precision farming stands out as a groundbreaking approach that harnesses the power of technology to enhance productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Among the most transformative tools in this field are drones and sensors, which are redefining traditional farming practices. This article delves into how these technologies are being integrated into modern agriculture, the benefits they offer, and the future they promise. The Rise of Precision Farming Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, involves the use of technology to manage crops and soil in a more precise and controlled manner. The goal is to optimize field-level management regarding crop farming. Unlike conventional methods that rely on broad-spectrum approaches, precision farming tailors practices to the specific needs of different areas within a field. Drones: Eyes in the Sky Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become an i...

Early Detection of Brain Disorders: Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement

 Early Detection of Brain Disorders Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement Introduction In recent years, the integration of wearable technologies into healthcare has opened up exciting possibilities for early disease detection. Among these developments, wearable sensors that track eye movement have emerged as a promising tool in diagnosing brain disorders. Eye movement, which is closely linked to brain function, can offer vital clues in detecting neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive impairments. This research addresses a pressing question: Can subtle changes in eye movement patterns be reliably used to detect brain disorders before clinical symptoms become evident? With advancements in precision medicine and AI, the convergence of IT, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience is becoming not only possible but necessary. As a software engineer transitioning into bioinformatics, I see this as a pivotal opportunity to apply data sc...

Apple’s 2024 Keynote: New Calculator App for iPad and More!

 As a self-proclaimed non-Apple fanboy, I have to admit, Apple's latest keynote had a few surprises that even caught my attention. Among the usual fanfare of sleek designs and incremental updates, Apple dropped a few notable bombs, including the long-awaited launch of a native  Calculator app for the iPad. Yes, you read that right. The iPad finally has a calculator, and it’s bringing some extra features to the table like Math Notes and Apple Pencil support. Let’s dive into what went down at the keynote and why it might be worth paying attention, even if you’re not an Apple devotee. The Headline Act: Calculator App for iPad For years, iPad users have been scratching their heads wondering why Apple, in all its innovative glory, never included a basic calculator app on its tablets. Well, the wait is finally over. Apple has introduced a Calculator app that goes beyond mere arithmetic. The app includes Math Notes, which allows users to jot down notes and calculations side-by-side. ...
