Abstract
The revolution of telecommunication mobile technology and the growing market of services and applications in the Internet have put more pressure on MNOs (Mobile Network Operators) in order to offer wireless and mobile broadband services. In SA (Saudi Arabia) there are 3 MNOs who have started in 2011 offering 4G services. In this paper we will give some description to 4G networks and make brief comparison of the performance of the three competing networks here in SA.
