3G networks use Internet Protocol instead of traditional circuit switches used in 2G networks. The document then discusses the evolution of wireless networks from 0G to 2G. It notes that 3G networks are expensive to deploy and use, with costs ranging from $50-300 per month for plans. The document concludes that 4G networks will offer faster speeds of 100Mbps-1Gbps compared to 2-14Mbps for 3G, as well as improved capabilities, coverage, and efficiency.

1. 3G and Beyond The future of wireless networks.

5. Earliest Mobile Phones: The car phone

7. And then there was the 1 st cell

9. The Progression of Cell Phones

11. … And phones have progressed

13. 3G costs lots of money…

16. 3G has changed the business world

18. Improvements From 3G to 4G -3G runs between 2 megabits/sec-14.4 megabits/sec -4G will run between 100 megabits/sec to 1 gigabit/sec -4G at its absolute slowest speed will be faster than 3G at its absolute fastest speed

19. More 3G to 4G Comparisons -3G was primarily developed for short range data exchanges, with WiFi and WLAN access -4G is being developed to transport data, voice and streamed multimedia to users “anytime, anywhere” -4G will provide signals immune to interference -4G will use power more efficiently than 3G while using smaller amplifiers and antennas, and at a lower cost

20. Why you should wait for 4G -Almost all of the 2G/3G standards will remain under the new 4G -Users won’t lose any current applications or features -More capabilities and more efficient -Eventually will be cheaper than 3G while still being faster -Will start being available to users in the not so distant future
