2G TO 4G CONNECTIVITY

INTRODUCTION

• A HANDHELD MOBILE RADIO TELEPHONE SERVICE WAS ENVISIONED IN THE EARLY STAGES OF
RADIO ENGINEERING. IN 1917, FINNISH INVENTOR ERIC TIGERSTEDT FILED A PATENT FOR A
"POCKET-SIZE FOLDING TELEPHONE WITH A VERY THIN CARBON MICROPHONE
• THE ADVANCES IN MOBILE TELEPHONY HAVE BEEN TRACED IN SUCCESSIVE "GENERATIONS",
STARTING WITH THE EARLY ZEROTH-GENERATION (0G) SERVICES, SUCH AS BELL SYSTEM'S 
MOBILE TELEPHONE SERVICE AND ITS SUCCESSORS
• FIRST COMMERCIAL AUTOMATED CELLULAR NETWORK (1G) ANALOG WAS LAUNCHED IN JAPAN
BY NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE IN 1979. 
• IN 1991, THE SECOND-GENERATION (2G) DIGITAL CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY WAS LAUNCHED IN
FINLAND BY RADIOLINJA ON THE GSM STANDARD. 
 2G TO 4G
It was invented and developed in 1991
