Advanced explanation:
4G, also known as LTE (Long Term Evolution), was introduced in 2009 and is the mobile communications standard that enables wireless broadband connections with significantly higher data rates. 4G utilises OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) to enable high data transfer rates (up to 1 Gbps) with low latency. This technology was the first to support data-intensive applications such as HD video streaming, online gaming and cloud services with high reliability and speed. Carrier aggregation (combining multiple frequency bands) improved the efficiency and capacity of the network. 4G became the global standard for mobile data connections and enabled a significant increase in mobile internet usage.
