What differences between 3G, 4G, 4G and 5G mobile networks

Other symbols can also be displayed on your phone.

4G designates the fourth generation of mobile networks. It succeeds 3G appeared a decade ago. Each generation improving performance, 4G of orange allows you to surf up to 10 times faster than in 3G+. The 5G network is already on the way and you can find additional information available here.

What is the 4G network ?
4G+ is a new mobile network standard which allows us to offer you faster flows and meet the development of Internet uses from mobile. It allows you to enjoy 4G coverage reinforced in the high density city centers.

This technology offers speeds high and greater than ADSL. A higher flow allows you to load web pages more quickly but also to provide significant comfort in terms of working conditions.
Thanks to a 4G tablet or smartphone, it is possible to connect very quickly to your office and professional tools and also to transmit informionions (documents, videos, images. ) in a few seconds.

What are the technical specificities of the 4G network ?

Orange uses 5 frequency bands for the 4G network: 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz and 2.6 GHz. This makes it possible to obtain a high speed and thus obtain the theoretical flows in 4G+ up to 600 Mbit/s allowing optimal use of the Internet.

In mainland France, 4G is accessible for 99% of the population.
How to benefit from the 4G network ?

3 conditions are necessary to use the 4G network. First, you must be in the Orange 4G network coverage area. You must then have a compatible mobile such as the latest iPhone, Samsung or Huawei.
Finally, you must subscribe to a 4G mobile package such as those sold on the Pro Orange store.

Presentation brochures of your products, commercial proposals addressed to customers, news videos to consult in transport: downloading and sending these documents are facilitated on 4G and 4G networks+.

To get to 4G speed, 3 conditions are necessary:

be under 4G coverage	have a smartphone, tablet or 4G key	have a 4G / 4G offer+

What differences between 3G, 4G, 4G+ and 5G mobile networks ?

You will probably have heard of 3G, 4G and 4G+. These are indeed the most frequent acronyms, indicating to which mobile network you have access. And yet there is also 2G, 5G, and other signs that you may not know, like H+. What do they indicate ? And then, what is the difference between a 3G network and a 4G ? These are answers to all these questions.

2G, 3G, 4G and 5G: a question of generation

The symbols that you can see on your smartphone are actually networks to which your device connects when you are looking to exchange information. By default, he always seeks to connect to the most efficient of them.

Each figure, as in 3G for example, indicates the generation of the network: 3G for “3rd generation of network”. So :

• 2G is almost obsolete today, But history will retain it as the network having brought the democratization of mobile phones. Its flow is 9 kbit/s. Its first version is better known as GSM
• 3G is the most famous network with 4G. The Orange network is that with the largest coverage in France: 99 % of the territory is connected to it. Its flow is far beyond 2G: 1.9 Mbits/s, allowing the sending of all kinds of files, including multimedia
• 4G is booming. Its deployment in France is also regularly mentioned in the media. Today, operators like Orange and SFR cover approximately 90 % of the national territory in 4G. What differentiates it from 3G is first of all the integration of a new standard called LTE (Long Term Evolution)). It displays up to 150 Mbits/s, but this figure varies greatly according to the operators
• 5G is still at the experimental stage. Experts expect performance 1,000 times higher than current networks. It should start its deployment in 2019, with marketing from 2020.

And 4G+ ? 3G+ ? The other symbols ?

Other symbols can also be displayed on your phone.

Above all, you can observe intermediate networks, such as 3G+, 4G+ or 4G++. These are indeed networks whose characteristics approach the initial network, while increasing its performance.

4G+, which is also called “LTE Advanced”, displays a flow twice as fast as standard 4G.4G ++ (or 4G UHD), on the other hand, has a speed three times higher.The same goes for 3G+ (or H), which is 7.5 times faster than 3G (but still 10 times lower than 4G).

Finally, some other symbols are often unknown. Here they are :

• H+ DC: Its theoretical flow is 42 Mbits/s.
• H+: This acronym actually designates 3G ++, whose name is little used. Its theoretical flow is 21 Mbits/s.
• E and G: These two letters are the worst enemies of those who dream of a quick network. The letter G qualifies the second version of the 2G network, and the letter E designates its third version. In both cases, the user then has a well -based speed below 3G.
