Mobile Phones + 3G Technology

3G Technology (3rd Generation Technology) first appeared in 2001 in Japan and was launched by NTT DoCoMo. The 3G technology comes as a response to humankind`s continuous hunger for more advanced and able technology, that will allow a much faster transfer rate and a easier and more natural communication style, allowing  the user the freedom to surf the internet for the latest news, information, to communicate with friends, family, partners, co-workers and so on. Also it is an excellent tool to update public profiles such as Twitter, Myspace and so on, because of the all new easy access websites that have appeared in the last couple of years, as a response to technology`s burst and continuous upgrade. The 3G is the third generation of mobile phone technology, after the 2G Technology.




The 3G service has the unique capacity of transferring 2 types of information at the same time: voice and non-voice, as for example a data transfer like for example electronic mail, instant messages, web browsing  and so on.  3G uses a different radio frequency from the 2G technology, requiring a whole new network and brand new authorizations.
In the United States of America, operators are still using 3G technology on 2G frequencies, their goal being to introduce the new technology step by step, not hazarding themselves into spending a huge sum of money from one go.



Besides 3G technology, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) was invented, it being  a collaboration between associates and telecommunication groups in the purpose of common standard which had to respect the ITU (International Telecommunication Union) recommendations. 3GPP is based on GSM specifications and it is referring at the radio transmissions architecture, central network ( core network ) and service for the UMTS standard.

Here is a preview on how the 3GPP actually works:

The 3.9G is a standard 3G based technology used in mobile phones but with capabilities close to 4G. It’s stipulated that it will be appearing on the market this year. It will allow data transfer close to optical fibre cables, that meaning the insane amount of 100 megabits/sec!  This thing is possible thanks to the new telecommunication system LTE ( Long Term Evolution ), which expands the variety of frequencies by almost 10 times comparing with the ones used last year in mobile phone networks, which will eliminate the congestion in data transfers. Therefore, a mobile phone will have 4 antennas, comparing to one which are used for mobile phones using 3G.

The system also changes the way that the data transmission is allocated. In 3G technology, where data and software are stocked on servers that have an internet connection, users downloading what they want only, when they need it. So thanks to this new technology, users save time and money, and are capable of enjoying a much better and pleasurable experience in using  their mobile phone, and in finding out what interests them, what matters the most and the latest news feed!

The Jappanese company NTT DoCoMo will introduce the 3.9G system this year.
