Mobile generation evolution
Generation of mobile
Mobile generation I did not know what is mobile generation. I came to know later that 1g, 2g means 1st Generation and 2nd Generation. Although 3G had already come when I was born. 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g and Data, Bluetooth were many such technology things which I did not understand at all. As I grew up, I started to understand little by little. Today we will learn about generation. I am going to share with you all whatever I read, learnt and found out during research. If possible, you all may also share it.
The Evolution Mobile generation is the result of improvement in wireless gen- eration, the techniques they use, service they provide, capacity, power, and accessibility.
Mobile technology has evolved significantly over the years, transforming from simple voice communication to advanced computing devices. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its generations:
1G= 1st Generation Analog Cellular Networks (1980s) Technology: used various analog modulation for data transfer.
Poor voice quality and security.
Large, bulky mobile phones.
Limited coverage
and high cost.
2G = 2nd Generation Digital Cellular Networks (1990s)
Technology: voice communication era through secure and reliable communication channellike CDMA and GSM. Provided small data service like sms and mms. Note that 2G internet services came after the 3G estabishment.
Speed: Up to 64 Kbps
Key features:
Introduction of SMS (Short Message Service).
Enhanced call quality and encryption for security.
Basic internet access (WAP).
Smaller, more affordable
mobile phones.
3G= 3rd Generation Mobile Broadband (Early 2000s)
Technology: Beginning of decent internet connection and awesome voice channel through better bandwidth and better connectivity even when travelling in a vehicle. Adopted HSPA for better data communication and to maintain
Speed: 384 Kbps to 42 Mbps
Key features:
Fast internet browsing and video calling.
Mobile applications and email access.
Beginning of mobile commerce (e.g., online banking).
Enhanced multimedia capabilities.
4G= 4th Generation High-Speed Internet & LTE (2010s)
Technology: LTE (Long-Term Evolution) Adoption of new feature-rich and af- fordable smart devices through usage of wider bandwidth in the communica tion channel for data. It lets voice call is done over internet.
Speed: Up to 1 Gbps
Key Features:
High-speed internet for streaming and gaming.
HD video calls and VoLTE (Voice over LTE).
Integration of mobile apps like ride-sharing, social media, and e-commerce.
Seamless connectivity for IoT (Internet of Things) devices.
