Mobile Networks Generations (Technology)
Much of the conversation in the mobile industry at the moment is around what benefits we can expect to see
with 5G worldwide rollouts.
But many consumers will remember when 2G, 3G and 4G were the latest innovation in mobile connectivity.
Each generation of network brought with it a significant milestone in the development of mobile
communications.
The 1G network was not perfect, but it remained until remained until 1991
when it was replaced with 2G. This new mobile network ran on digital
signal, not analogue, which vastly improved its security but also its
capacity. On 2G, users could send SMS and MMS messages (although
slowly and often without success) and when GPRS was introduced in
1997, users could receive and send emails on the move.
5G can theoretically have download speed 20x faster than 4G, as well as boasting a very low latency in
comparison to its predecessor. This means that time-delay for online gaming, video calls, and critical mission
applications will be significantly lower.
With almost a decade of 5G development left, the technology’s full potential is yet to come. The 5G network
will revolutionize the way people live and work across the world, so expect to see exciting changes in the
coming years.
