Wireless Technology
Telegraphs and telephones are examples of
wireline, or wire-bound technology, because they
rely on physically connected wires to transmit and
receive signals.

Wireless technology - relies on the atmosphere to

transmit and receive signals.

Who invented the Mobile phone?

The first handheld mobile cell phone
was demonstrated by Motorola in
1973.
the first cell phone call was made by
Motorola engineer Martin Cooper
The first commercial automated
cellular network was launched in
Japan by NTT in 1979.

SIM Card
The first SIM card was made in 1991 by
Munich smart card maker

Mobile telephony(1G)
The first generation of mobile
telephony (written 1G)
operated using analogue
communications.
AMPS (Advanced Mobile
Phone System), which
appeared in 1976 in the United
States, was the first cellular
network standard.
this first-generation analogue
network had weak security
mechanisms which allowed
hacking of telephones lines.

2G
The second generation of mobile networks
(written 2G) marked a break with the first
generation of cellular telephones by switching from
analogue to digital.
The main 2G mobile telephony standards are:
GSM (Global System for Mobile communications)
Data rate:
2G-GSM provide SMS & MMS data rate =maximum 9.6 kbps
2.5G- GPRS (General Packet Radio System) data rate
=maximum 40 Kbit/s
2.75G- EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution) =
473 Kbit/s

3G
The most important of these characteristics are:
high transmission data rate:
144 Kbps with total coverage for mobile use,
384 Kbps with medium coverage for pedestrian use,
2 Mbps with reduced coverage area for stationary use.

door to multimedia uses such as video transmission,

video-conferencing or high-speed internet access.
3.5 G= data rate 8 to 10 Mbps
