What is 3G?

The third generation of availability and speed standards for mobile devices is often referred to as 3G technology. These standards are determined by the International Telecommunication Association (ITU). 3G technology allows the use of a wireless phone in a wide range, as well as broadband Internet and video call access, all accessible mobile electronic devices.

3G not only allows you to use these services in a wide area, but also promises increased speed and bandwidth. Devices that use 3G can be used in most global places due to deliberately modified compatibility in the system. Although comfort and speed is improved by 3G technology compared to other systems, the speed very much depends, for example, on the movement of target devices, such as a mobile phone. 3G standards ensure data transfer up to two megabites per second when the device is stationary or inside, but this speed decreases to 384 kilobites at pedestrian speeds, and in movingThe vehicle again decreases to about 144 kilobites per second.

The name "3G" means that there were two previous generations, as they really existed. The first generation service was embodied in cell networks from the 80s called Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). The 1G service was analogue and held only one of the radio frequencies. This was more than sufficiently advanced to most customers at the time, but as the popularity and technological capabilities of the mobile phone service increased, innovations were needed to adapt the service network.

Second generation service began in the 90s. Digital voice transmission was introduced by mobile telecommunications companies that allowed more calls per channel and the use of more than one frequency band. The biggest jump was from 2G to 3G service because it includes much more than just phone calls. Because 3G is compared to predecessors suchAdvanced technology, its implementation was not trouble -free or universal. Some countries have delayed issuing 3G licenses, while in others the licenses are issued, but consumers are at best modest.

Despite somewhat bumpy growth, 3G technology is proceeding and hundreds of 3G network are in operation worldwide. Another evolutionary step in telecommunications, suitably called 4G, promises the highest data transfer speeds and the ability to use a wider range of frequency belts. The speed of further development of 4G will probably not be detained back to wait for full worldwide integration of 3G.
