3G Technology
International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT--2000), better
known as 3G or 3rd Generation, is a generation of standards for mobile
phones and mobile telecommunications services fulfilling specifications by
the International Telecommunication Union,. Application services include
wide-area wireless voice telephone, mobile Internet access, video calls and
mobile TV, all in a mobile environment. Compared to the older 2G and 2.5G
standards, a 3G system must allow simultaneous use of speech and data
services, and provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s according to the
IMT-2000 specification. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G,
also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to laptop computers
and smartphone
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) was formed in 1998 to foster
deployment of 3G networks that descended from GSM. 3GPP technologies
evolved as follows.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) offered speeds up to 114 Kbps.
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (EDGE) reached up to 384
Kbps.
UMTS Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) offered downlink speeds up to 1.92
Mbps.
High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) boosted the downlink to
14Mbps.
LTE Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) is aiming for 100
Mbps.
Features
Application services include wide-area wireless voice telephone, mobile
Internet access, video calls and mobile TV, all in a mobile environment.

3G Network
Macro Cells, Micro Cells, and Pico Cells
The 3G network might be divided up in hierarchical fashion:
Advantages Of 3G
New radio spectrum to relieve overcrowding in existing
systems.
More bandwidth, security and reliability.
Interoperability between services providers.
Fixed and variable data rates.
Conclusion
3G is for high speed networks for variety of data intensive applications. 3G
provides more advanced services like wide-area wireless voice Telephone,
video calls and broadband wireless data and also it provides advanced
multimedia access and global roaming. 3G is giving way to new generation
wireless networks i.e. 4G .
