3G technology is started

3G is short for 3rd generation, and refers to a networking standard in cell phone technology that is
capable of providing high-speed data service to mobile devices. As 3G wireless networks became more
widespread, you could finally connect to and use the Internet at practical speeds (with a 3G-enabled
smartphone), which far surpassed those of the previous generation of mobile phone technology. 3G
network paved the way for a world thats almost forgotten phones were once used merely for voice calls
and text messaging. A world where its perfectly ordinary to download huge chunks of information to
your phone from the Internet, to stream audio and video to people thousands of miles away, and to
effortlessly, wirelessly pass large multimedia files to a co-worker. To be advertised as 3G, a network is
required to meet a set of technical standards for speed and reliability, and must offer peak data
transfer rates of at least 200 kilobits per second. The first networks that met this standard rolled out
in the U.S. around 2003, and as smartphones began to gain more widespread use, demand for
faster mobile broadband access saw a corresponding rise. In just a few short years, this push for
faster data rates drove the standard forward, and today 3G networks can be anywhere from 200
kbps to dozens of times that fast. If you dont plan on streaming lots of music and video from the
web, you probably dont need the blazing fast speeds offered by 4G. Most apps for basic stuff like
GPS, weather, email, and social networking will work just fine on a 3G connection. The 3G research
and development projects started in 1992. 3G technology is the result of research and development
work carried out by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in the early 1980s. 3G
specifications and standards were developed in fifteen years. The technical specifications were
made available to the public under the name IMT-2000. The communication spectrum between 400
MHz to 3 GHz was allocated for 3G. Both the government and communication companies approved
the 3G standard.[9] The first pre-commercial 3G network was launched by NTT DoCoMo in Japan in
1998,[10] branded as FOMA. It was first available in May 2001. The first commercial launch of 3G
was also by NTT DoCoMo in Japan on 1 October 2001, although it was initially somewhat limited in
scope broader availability of the system was delayed by apparent concerns over its reliability. The
first European pre-commercial network was an UMTS network on the Isle of Man by Manx Telecom,
the operator then owned by British Telecom, and the first commercial network in Europe was opened
for business by Telenor in December 2001 with no commercial handsets and thus no paying
customers. The first network to go commercially live was by SK Telecom in South Korea on the
CDMA-based technology in January 2002. By May 2002 the second South Korean 3G network was
by KT on EV-DO and thus the South Koreans were the first to see competition among 3G operators.
The first commercial United States 3G network was by Monet Mobile Networks, but this network
provider later shut down operations. The second 3G network operator in the USA was Verizon Wireless
in July 2002. The first pre-commercial demonstration network in the southern hemisphere was built in
Adelaide, South Australia by m.Net Corporation in February 2002. This was a demonstration network for
the 2002 IT World Congress. The first commercial 3G network was launched by Hutchison
Telecommunications branded as Three or "3" in June 2003. Nepal Telecom adopted 3G Service for the
first time in Asia. However its 3G was relatively slow to be adopted in Nepal. In some instances, 3G
networks do not use the same radio frequencies as 2G so mobile operators must build entirely new
networks and license entirely new frequencies, especially so to achieve high data transmission rates.
Other Countries delays were due to the expenses of upgrading transmission hardware whose
deployment required the replacement of most broadcast towers. Due to these issues and difficulties
with deployment, many carriers were not able to or delayed acquisition of these updated capabilities.
3G in Pakistan
Pakistan was given 3g telecom license on March 292014. Pakistanis think that 3G is something to have
fast speed and good video quality and improve communication means. Services like wide area wireless
voice telephone, mobile Internet access, video calls and TV and broadband wireless data. Now, people
are so much interested in buying 3G-powered devices and tools.
Already people want to buy this technology because everyone wants to enjoy the breath taking benefits
of that technology. It has opened a new way of life for all hand set users.

How 3G benefits Pakistan
According to the Mobilink president (Rashid khan) he said that:
In the current era of technology, 3G technology is need of the hour as the volume of data transmission
has increased tremendously, as todays Pakistani consumers is more aware.
- Rashid Khan (mobilink president)
For more data transmission 3G is required and Mobilink also work and become a part of 3g technology
to benefit and provide their consumer with this technology.
Fast connectivity of internet:

It helps in future from consumer perspective to gain many benefits like roaming capability and broad
bandwidth and high speed communication.Due to fast connectivity of internet; you can send and
receive large email messages via wireless in a very small time.
Customization mobile broadband devices and services:

provides the countrys citizens with richer, more compelling communications services. Access to
convenient, affordable and highly customization mobile broadband devices and services makes life more
productive, secure and meaningful and empowers people to transform the way they live, learn, work
and play.
Enjoy music entertainment:

in a better way. Due to its high speed, now, you can download an MP3 song in just 3 min at 144kb/sec (2
mb/sec. You can also watch latest news, bulletins, breaking news and headlines.The 3G wireless
technology represents a shift from voice-centric services to multimedia-oriented like video, voice, data,
and fax services. The most interesting and useful aspect of it is its ability to unify existing cellular
standards such as GSM, CDMA and TDMA.Such access to more broad band services help to achieve
global tasks. like pervaiz iftikhar mentioned:
help accelerate achievement of development targets like the universally-accepted Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs).It is only by using broadband that we can serve our exploding population
(having a CAGR of 2.5 per cent) at their doorsteps.
Broadband faciliyt everywhere:

Currently broadband facility is used by very few ratio of population in Pakistan but after launch of 3G
technologies it can take broadband to every nook and corner of the country, becoming accessible to
more than 90 per cent of the population, with relatively small effort.
Increase in GDP/ Employment:

According to ITU World Telecommunications Database Statistics,.Economic studies indicate that for
every one percent increase in a countrys broadband Internet penetration, GDP per capita increases by
roughly 10 percent (USD), and a one percent increase in mobile penetration results in a GDP per capita
increase of roughly five percent (USD).2
direct investments in communication technology development are strongly correlated with increased
job creation. many skilled and educated are unable to contribute towards the economy by showing their
skill in this industry
Improve asset and resource management:

solutions like these are helping enterprises improve their asset and resource management capabilities,
streamline their operations and ultimately, achieve significant cost savings. For example employees
working offsite with mobile laptops or handheld devices may access company resource management
solutions and dynamically collaborate with intra-office systems that link warehouses, suppliers and
customer databases.



Countries adopting 3G have experienced higher levels of GDP per capita and job creation in the
telecommunications sector. Moreover 3G expands a countrys opportunities in the business sector,
contributing to increased competitiveness and promoting innovative new wirelessly enabled businesses
and services. Finally, 3G provides the countrys citizens with richer, more compelling communications
services. Access to convenient, affordable and highly customizable mobile broadband devices and
services makes life more productive, secure and meaningful and empowers people to transform the way
they live, learn, work and play.
