What is LTE? What is Wimax?

I always was amazed to have internet on my phone. I think it was really cool, but not quite the work of “wizards”. I have come a long way from my older phone. I went after that to a few different phones, a Moto Q, Blackberry 8830, and the new (well not so new) love of my life my Blackberry Curve 8330.

Okay, so I have internet on my phone, so what? Before, my internet connection on my phone was used to only search for movie times and the default news on the home page. As time has gone on, I now use the internet on my phone to receive e-mails, settle late night bets via Google, and even check the status of my friends currently playing XBOX. The point is besides all those TinyTwitter and a billion other things I use the web for on my phone, it is still not where it will be in the future.

Verizon is one of the major carriers that have been testing for LTE and Sprint has being doing the Wimax/Xohm thing for some time. These technologies are going to make us even more connected. They are increasing the speed a whole lot. From what I understand right now you are lucky to peak at 1 Mbps and soon you should be able to multiply that by 15-20.

Think about it, our devices will have to obviously change to take advantage of this. Over the years they have already started getting bigger screens, keyboards, bigger built in memory. I would love to add a movie download to my Netflix Streaming Queue and watch it while I am waiting at the Dr.’s Office. I do not mean watch choppy video, I mean watch an HD stream. Will we all be carrying netbooks that have a built in ability to talk in a few years?

The exciting news is it is not just the biggest boy on the block doing this, Metro PCS apparently has plans to go the way of LTE, and if I had to place a few bucks on it I think Leap Wireless/Cricket may follow suit with the same technology. So I am excited to see this happen, I am excited to see where this might go, and how this will help us connect better as people.

Boost $50 Unlimited

It seems like Boost Mobile is trying to become super competitive in the Pay in Advance market. Boost Unlimited has been available in some markets and it has tethered off Sprint’s CDMA network, while Boost Pay Go tethered off Sprint’s iDen (Nextel) network. Boost Unlimited was fairly successful in the markets it came out in, but could not really compete with Cricket and Pocket’s much lower rates.

The plan is supposed to launch January 22nd, and I think it can make a big splash in the wireless world. Many people had Boost Pay Go for the unlimited walkie talkie, but now that you factor in unlimited voice and text, you have a double whammy. I can even see some small business that do not want a contract benefiting from this. Think about it 5 lines Instant communication with Direct Connect and no worries of overage for $250. Not too bad if you ask me.

Boost has a variety of phones and if you would like to set one up contact us. If you want the best possible devices for your business, TAKE THE CHALLENGE!!!
