Global 4G network competition: Korea covering the most extensive, Singapore's fastest-IT information

Beijing time on November 12, according to foreign media reports, which country has the world's fastest 4G LTE network? Which country's widest coverage? In this era of mutual interconnection, which is closely related to the well-being and economic progress of a country.

But what is unexpected is, in some developing 4G the rapid development of small States, even more than some of the world's largest economy. According to latest data network database company OpenSignal, here are this year's November global 4G network of "winners" and "losers".

Coverage, Korea and Japan lead, respectively, 95.7% and 92%. United States ranked tenth, coverage is 81.3%. China ranked 19th with 73.8%.

It is to be noted that, where the coverage was not referring to geographical coverage, but rather to than LTE network. OpenSignal explained that, if a country's 4G network coverage of 50%, 4G user 50% can find LTE signal. The popular measure has its advantages and disadvantages: it takes into account whether the user can connect the indoor LTE network, but it cannot fully reflect the geographical distribution of the LTE network.

4G speed connection, Singapore 45.9Mbps won, narrowly beating Korea 45.8Mbps. After several were somewhat surprising: Central European countries Hungary with 40.6Mbps placed third, two of the EU's poorest countries Romania and Bulgaria ranks fourth and six, 4G Internet 36.5Mbps and 34.2Mbps, respectively.

United States far behind in this regard and average speeds of only 13Mbps, only Venezuela, Cambodia and Iran the economic level is far behind countries. It is reported that this is likely to be caused by a network highly crowded.

全球4G网络比拼：韩国覆盖最广，新加坡最快 - IT资讯

北京时间11月12日消息，据外媒报道，哪个国家拥有全球最快的4G LTE网络？哪个国家的覆盖率最广？在这个互通互联的时代，这些问题对一个国家的幸福指数和经济进步可谓密切相关。

不过令人意外的是，一些发展中的小国4G网络迅速发展，甚至超过部分全球最大的经济体。根据网络数据库公司OpenSignal的最新数据，以下就是今年11月全球4G网络的“赢家”和“输家”。

覆盖率方面，韩国和日本遥遥领先，分别达95.7%和92%。美国排名第十，覆盖率为81.3%。中国以73.8%排名第19位。

需要指出的是，此处的覆盖率并非指地理覆盖，而是指LTE在网时间比。OpenSignal解释称，如果一个国家的4G网络覆盖率达50%，其4G用户在50%的时间能够找到LTE信号。这种流行的衡量方式有利也有弊：它考虑用户是否能在室内连接到LTE网络，但却无法充分体现LTE网络的地理分布。

在4G网速方面，新加坡以45.9Mbps夺魁，以微弱优势击败韩国的45.8Mbps。后面几位则有些令人吃惊：欧洲中部国家匈牙利以40.6Mbps排名第三，欧盟最穷的两个国家罗马尼亚和保加利亚位列第四和第六，4G网速分别为36.5Mbps和34.2Mbps。

美国在此方面远远落后，平均网速只有13Mbps，仅与委内瑞拉、柬埔寨和伊朗这些经济水平远远落后的国家相当。据悉，这很可能是由于网络高度拥挤造成的。
