2. 3G, short for third Generation, is the
3rd generation of mobile
telecommunications technology.
Also called Tri-Band 3G.
3. Why 3G?
1. Higher bandwidth enables a range of new
applications!!
2. For the consumer
Video streaming, TV broadcast
Video calls, video clips – news, music, sports
Enhanced gaming, chat, location services…
3. For business
High speed teleworking / VPN access
Sales force automation
Video conferencing
Real-time financial information
4. 3G telecommunication networks support
services that provide an information transfer
rate of at least 200 kbit/s. However, many
services advertised as 3G provide higher
speed than the minimum technical
requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G
releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also
provide mobile broadband access of several
Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems
in laptop computers.
5. Application of 3G
1.Wireless voice telephony,
2.Mobile Internet access,
3.Fixed wireless Internet access,
4.Video calls and
5.Mobile TV.
6. 3G Standard
This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and
mobile telecommunication services and networks
that comply with the International Mobile
Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications
by the International Telecommunication Union.
The Services advertised as 3G are required to meet
IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for
reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the
IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide
peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2
Mbit/s).
