optimal conditions.
Technology that make 3G
standard.

DRAWBACKS OF 1G,2G and
2.5G
1G
In mobile telephony, first-generation
systems were analog, circuit-switched.
Voice links were poor, handoff unreliable,
capacity low, and security non-existent. 1G
systems are not now under active
development – indeed, in some areas 1G
spectrum is being auctioned for 2G and 3G
use.
2G
In mobile telephony, second-generation
protocols use digital encoding and include
GSM, D-AMPS (TDMA) and CDMA. 2G
networks are in current use around the
world. These protocols support high bit rate
voice and limited data communications.
They offer auxiliary services such as data,
fax and SMS. Most 2G protocols offer
different levels of encryption.
