GSM was the first successful mobile network (2G) allowing voice calls and SMS. However, data speeds were slow at 13kbps, prompting improved 2.5G networks. 3G significantly increased speeds to 200kbps, enabling faster internet, video streaming, and video calls. 4G networks launched in 2009 in Scandinavia and by 2012 were widely available, providing speeds up to 50Mbps for instantly loading large webpages and sharing HD files. Faster mobile connectivity continues revolutionizing internet access.

1. Mobile Phone Networking Systems 2G,
3G, 4G

2. The first worldwide mobile communication
network that worked properly was the GSM
networking system.
An interesting fact is that the fins from Nokia had
a lot to do with the development of these
networking systems.

3. The GSM (or 2G) networking worked beautifully
with voice calls and SMS system. It was
powerful enough even for accessing simple sites
on the internet or sending media files through
the MMS services. But when people saw the
opportunity for accessing the internet directly
from the handheld device, the need for a
stronger and faster data transfer was born.

4. GSM was powerful enough to provide a data transfer speed of
only 13 Kilobytes per second. Some improvements were made
to this type of networking. An intermediary 2.5G system that
worked a little faster was also launched but the next big thing
after 2G was the networking system that changed everything.
The third generation of mobile communication technology was
born and along with its appearance a new wave of 3G
products like the 3G tablets, 3G netbooks, 3G smartphones,
3G USB adaptors for your mobile devices. Suddenly people
had the impression that everything around them was going to
be 3G compatible at some point in the future.

5. The truth is that 3G networking system did not only work as an
advertising method because the services really provided
higher data transfer speeds than anyone could have imagined
at that time. The data transfer was working at speeds of 200
Kilobytes per second.
This meant that the internet surfing was no longer a time
consuming activity and video streaming was also possible on
the mobile devices due to the downloading speed. Video calls
also became popular along with the 3G networking because
data transfer speed was also the factor that allowed this
service to work properly. The operating systems also became
more powerful and more complex to allow the complete
exploitation of the connectivity. Online markets filled with
thousands of applications became integrated in the menus on
the new smartphones.

6. Like every domain the 3G networking system became fully
exploited by the continuously improving technologies of
mobile phone developers and a new data transfer speed
standard was needed.
The story of the next networking says that LTE or Long Term
Evolution first released the 4G networking in Scandinavia and
this happened in 2009.
Although the technology existed ever since, the first reliable 4G
compatible smartphones started appearing in 2012. Also the
mobile communication carriers have only started providing
4G networking in large metropolitan areas at the end of 2011.

7. But during 2012 all the carriers took part in auctions and
they have also faced a lot of negotiations for obtaining
this package of services in order to provide them to their
clients.
By now, the 4G networking system has already spread all
over the populated areas of the planet. This means that
purchasing a 4G smartphone would now be an intelligent
move to upgrade the previous devices if you are an
enthusiast.

8. The 4G compatible smartphones manage to provide download
speeds of almost 50 Megabytes per second (real download
speed). This automatically means that using a smartphone
capable of 4G networking, the owner will never have any
trouble with loading any web page, no matter how large the
page size will be. This connectivity can handle any
upload/download in no time. Sharing HD files, accessing the
internet, using the internet-powered services and any other
internet related action will get done almost instantaneously.
The 4G networking system is a truly revolutionary system and
the benefits will become visible when the people will start to
change the old handheld devices with the new 4G compatible
ones.
