WHAT IS 3G ?
3G is the third generation of wireless technologies. 3G is mostly used with mobile phones and handsets.

HISTORY
Introduced in 1990's by the ITU

IMT-2000 (International Mobile Communications 2000) Japan was the first country to implement 3G

 Higher call volumes and support for multimedia data applications, such as video and photography.

Faster data transfer rates

Free or cheap calls worldwide Capability to determine geographic position of mobiles and report it Worthwhile for users that need connectivity on the move

BENEFITS OF 3G

ISSUES HAMPERING ITS GROWTH

High spectrum licensing fees for the 3G services

Huge capital required to build infrastructure for 3G services.

Health impact because of electromagnetic waves. Prices are very high for 3G mobile services. Will 2G users switch to 3G services? Takes time to catch up as the service is new.

VARIOUS SERVICES THAT 3G (W-CDMA) COULD PROVIDE:

3G eases the machine to machine communication in the near future
For Example: Refrigerator with in-built sensors, sensing the emptied shelves and sending messages automatically to the PDA of the user or the local store to refill it.

CONCLUSION
3G services will add invaluable dimension for the integral part of the modern world
In the near future, Mobility will not be considered as an add-on: it will become a fundamental aspect Development of 3G networks will continue and pick up pace in the near future
