3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites with six telecommunication standard organizations. According to (A GLOBAL INITIATIVE, n.d.), there are ARIB, ATIS, CCSA, ETSI, TTA, TTC). The meaning of these telecommunication are: Association of Radio Industries and Business (ARIB); Alliance Telecommunication Industry Solutions (ATIS); the China Communications Standards Association (CCSA); European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI); Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA); and the Telecommunication Technology Committee (TCC) of Japan.
There are four Technical Specifications Groups (TSG) in 3GPP and they are Radio Access Networks (RAN), Service & Systems Aspects (SA), Core Network & Terminals (CT) and GSM EDGE Radio Access Networks (GERAN). The four TSGs has a set of working groups, which meet about four to six times a year. This involves a plenary meetings where the Working Groups presents information, discussion and approval. These are some of the factors that come into play when it comes to 3G and 4G Wireless.
There are some similarities and differences when it comes to 3G and 4G wireless. When it comes to comparing and contrasting terms such as: services and applications; network architecture; data throughout and user perceptions; information will be provided. There are differences between 4G LTE, 4G WiMax, and 4G WiBro based on: uploads and download speeds; user perception; backward compatibility and service availability. 4G LTE has been strong when it comes to competition with other competitors and benefits for their subscribers. Also, there is a reason Verizon’s 4G LTE is available and covers more markets than AT&T. All of the subjects will be discussed in this paper.

On March 8th 2012, C Spire Wireless released details that it would roll out 4G LTE services by September 2012. The investment made by the company is $60 million and they would cover 2700 miles, a population of 1.2 million and more than 360 cell sites in 20 Mississippi markets, most of whom are first time consumers who have access to this high speed technology [1]. Its LTE service was officially launched in September 2012 [3]. An LTE net...
For this report, our team performed a scan of the general environment concerning T-Mobile. Topics which were reviewed include the economy, demographics, technology, legal and political events, and social attributes. Significant events and trends dealing with the segments are analyzed throughout.
Sprint offers wireless and wireline voice and data services to customers in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands under the Sprint corporate brand, which includes retail brands of Sprint, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile. Offering wireless services on a postpaid and prepaid payment to subscribers and wholesale affiliate. Support of applications and Google voice which allow for a customer’s phone number to before all devices such as home, office, and cell phone.
G in 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G stands for the “Generation” of the mobile network. Today, mobile operators have started offering 4G services a higher number before the ‘G’ means more power to send out and receive more information and therefore the ability to achieve a higher efficiency through the wireless network. During the time of 1G, radio signals were transmitted in ‘Analogue’ form. 2G networks on the other hand, were based on narrow band digital networks. The 3rd generation of mobile networks has become popular and users access the Internet over devices like mobiles and tablets. This means a 3G network actually allows for more data transmission and therefore the network enables voice and video calling, file transmission, internet surfing, online TV, view high definition videos, play games and much more. 4th Generation mobile networks are believed to provide many value added features.
This refers to mobile stations that assume the part of the source of the network to the user; the second is the access service network that assumes two are additional base stations and constitutes ASN gateways that create the radio access. The last portion of the connectivity network that provides the IP functions and the base stations that gives the air platform for the mobile stations. The stations at the base also avail management functions, tunnel establishment and triggering, radio resources control, active host control protocol proxy, excellence of service enforcement and multicast cluster management. The inclusion of the ASN facilitates the encryption keys, resource regulation, routing to the chosen network and consumer functionality. Connectivity service network is liable for Internet connections...
The cell phone market has grown in the past few years, many firms have entered and exited the market. Once a highly competitive market is now condensed to four main telecommunication
In comparison to other telecommunication companies such as Sprint and AT&T, Verizon has a competitive advantage that is relatively easy to observe. This advantage that they possess is the company’s ability to adapt to the ever changing telecommunications market. In a statement published on the company’s website regarding their industry, “The number of American wireless customers now exceeds 290 million, a penetration rate of approximately 95 percent. “ ("Company Profile.”) They acknowledge that the market for wireless services is now saturated and now they are aiming towards new frontiers in communication.
Nokia Networks is a broadband radio network provider, attracting customers all over the globe. Nokia Networks focuses on developing 5G, which is due to replace the old 4G. Networks’ main concern is the accommodation of an increasing amount of data traffic. Networks works towards an improved speed of uploads by developing a radio cloud network. The demand for speed grows as many phones are becoming richer
The entire history of cellular and wireless has been oriented around delivering better service at a higher throughput. Although speeds vary depending on what you are loading, your distance from your cell tower, the phase of the moon and what time and what side of the bed you get out of, Generally 4G speeds are around 1-3 Mega bits per second.
Vodafone 3G has started its operations for 3G services in Bijapur. A study is being conducted for Vodafone to analysis the consumer characteristics, consumer behaviour, preferences and an analysis of competitors in this segment. The study will help Vodafone to understand the changes to be incorporated in the plans and schemes currently being offered by the company. The characteristics and features offered presently have to be transitioned or enhanced to improve the sales for the 3G services of Vodafone since currently Docomo and Airtel are a major competitor and on comparative basis it is important to adopt changes and increase the opportunity or market potential of Vodafone 3G
Over the past decade the wireless telecommunications industry has undergone a multitude of changes and experienced rapid growth. Developments in technology and consumer demand have fueled this growth and research shows that this growth will continue in the years to come. This paper will analyze the basis for these trends in consumption patterns, to include the utility derived from the products, changes in demand, market prices and the elasticity of demand of wireless services.
In the 1980s, first generation (1G) cell phones consisted of voice-only analog devices with limited range and features that were sold mainly in North America. In the 1990s, second generation (2G) devices consisted of voice/data digital cell phones with higher data transfer rates, expanded range, and more features. Sales of these devices expanded to Europe and Asia. In the twenty-first century, Nokia and other companies are combining several digital technologies into third generation (3G) communication devices that reach globally and feature the convergence of the cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), Internet services, and multimedia applications.
The GSM system utilises new technologies efficiently. A collection of innovative technological features demonstrates the engineering force behind the system. The use of certain technological features is motivated by the benefit that is offered. The variety of the level of technologies is wide; from small details hidden deep in the system to revolutionary new concepts at the top level of the system, visible to all users.
