What About 3G Mobile Broadband?
Network operators are able to offer users a wider range of service, which are more complex with 3G technologies. They are also able to have more network power by improving competence. The services they provide are usually at a rate of 5-10 MB per second. The services include a wider area of voice signal and have grown to include high-speed Internet access.
3G services were introduced in the United Kingdom and in Italy in beginning of 2003. It was the European Union Council who suggested by the end of 2005 3G should cover 80% of the European populations. The release of 3G networks wasn’t as quick reaching some countries because of the huge costs of additional licensing fees. The 2G use a radio frequency, which 3G networks do not. Mobile operators have the task of building new networks and obtain licensing on new frequencies. The United States was not confronted with that problem because everything is on the same frequency. The expenses of upgrading equipment for the new system, in addition to the high cost of license fees, which were augmented by the auctions held by the government of the limited number of licenses and the sealed bids at these auctions. Delays increased, but were finally overcome, and more people the world over rely on 3G technologies.
The main aspect of the 3G technologies can handle more voice and data customers and higher data speeds at a lesser additional cost. The 3G technologies will also permit transmission of data for mobile systems and the rate of 384 KB per second and for the fixed systems the transmission rate will be at 2MB. The 3G systems will give the user a larger space with improvement of the competence. This will give them access to the different 3G networks and allow them to roam around the world.
To use 3G technologies, cellular mobile telecommunications networks are being improved. The first country to introduce 3G nationally was Japan and the overall change was completed for the most part in 2006. Korea was another country to make the change to 3G nationally in 2004.
Because of the limited space of the 2G networks in use at the time, was the reason for the change to 3G, which started in about 2003. 2G were not built for the expected wireless needs today. It was built mainly for voice transmission and slow transmission. They were not built to achieve high speeds.
Some of the technologies operated by 2.5G technologies were created to show the applications of wireless technology, and to increase the need for 3G services. To date 3G technologies has been introduced to a large number of cell phone users in almost every country in the world, but there are certain aspects of 3G, which are being debated by the service providers and the users:-
- The expensive fees for the 3G service licenses
- Several differences in licensing terms
- Many telecommunication companies owe a large debt, which is making it difficult for them to build the necessary communication lines for 3G
- The lack of assistance for operators experiencing financial difficulties
- The cost of the 3G phones
- 2G mobile users not paying for the use of 3G services
- Even though it is a new service not a large enough coverage area
- Some countries must pay high prices for the use of 3G services including the Internet
- The fact users do not need 3G voice and data services in a hand held device
- 3G uses too much power
