4G hits 1Gbps

NTT Docomo has just announced that in their recent trials of new 4G technology they managed to reach a maximum speed of 1Gbps for data transfer.

To put this figure into perspective just think that currently most home broadband internet connections run at around 100Mbps, -for a phone to be able to run at ten times this speed will be amazing and allow for clear, high definition video calling as well as improved data services and movie downloads.

A lot more work is still needed to be done to convert this proof of concept work into a viable commercial network but it seems that these high speed services are not so far off.
