SOME OF ITS HISTORY:
However, the first prototype cell phone was tested in
1973 by Motorola, through a call from Martin Cooper
from a New York street. The phone was a DynaTAC
8000X model and the call was made specifically to its
biggest competitor in the area, Joel Engel of AT&T Bell
Laboratories. The DynaTAC 8000X was launched in
1984. It weighed around 1 kilogram and measured 33 x
4.4 x 8.9 centimeters. Its battery allowed barely an
hour of communication.
THE FIRST GENERATION OR 1G
In the 1980s, Ameritech Mobile Communications, LLC appeared,
the first company to provide cell phone services. To do this, it used
analog radio channels (frequencies around 450 MHz) with
modulated frequency (FM). Some of the first telephones of this
type were from the Ericsson company, NMT 450 brand.
SECOND GENERATION OR 2G
The second generation of cell phones was
born in the 1990s. It used GSM systems
(Global System for Mobile Communications,
a European standard) and frequencies
between 900 and 1800 MHz, which
represented the step towards the digitization
of cellular communications. Improved voice
quality and security levels.
GENERATION 2.5
In a short time EMS and MMS technology
was incorporated into the second
generation, thus allowing text messaging
and multimedia messaging to existing cell
phones. In many cases the functionality
was limited to receiving them, but soon
units capable of emitting them also
appeared.
THIRD GENERATION OR 3G
At the beginning of the 21st century, the
third generation responded to the need
for cell phones with Internet connectivity,
video conferencing, television and file
downloads, that is, small computers.
The first Smartphones or smartphones
belong to this generation, and are
responsible for their popularization.
FOURTH GENERATION OR 4G
This is the generation of “High-end”
Smartphones or higher capacities, thanks
to their high speed (bandwidth) Internet
connection and reception of High
Definition (HD) videos. It is the technology
currently used in advanced companies in
the world of mobile telephony, and it is
considered the technological evolution of
mobile telephony.
FIFTH GENERATION OR 5G
The fifth generation of cell phones is currently (2019) in
development. Powerful companies like the Chinese
Huawei and the Russian Megafon have been testing
since 2014 to manufacture a new technological
generation.
As revealed by the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU) in 2017, it is estimated that it will reach
speeds of up to 20 Gb / s download and 10 Gb / s
upload, optimizing the technology with new standards
that are expected to be available by 2020.
THE SMARTPHONE REVOLUTION
Smartphones were the biggest change in the history of
cell phones. On the one hand, the functionality
changed, incorporating many aspects of computers. On
the other hand, the design changed: the phones
promised to be smaller and more discreet each time,
but the arrival of Smartphones implanted the need for
large screens. Faced with the need to display
information on screens, keyboards were removed,
which were replaced by on-screen touch instructions,
known as touch-screen technology. In addition, more
bulky and rectangular-shaped appliances were
designed.
PART OF OUR SMARTPHONE
Antenna. Element that receives electrical signals from the cellular network
and sends them to the modem to transform them into voice and data.
Rear camera. Today they are no longer one but 2 cameras, with high
megapixel resolutions, with focal aperture, sensors and optical stabilizer.
Frontal camera. The selfi camera by definition. It is usually lower resolution
than the main resolution and with a higher coverage objective.
Flash. In itself it is an independent device. The flash, in the best models, has
two LEDs, one warm and one cold in terms of colors.
Processor. Known as the brain of smartphones, it is a microchip similar to
that of computers and it works to manage and control the flow of functions
within your mobile device.
RAM. The RAM memory, in this memory where the applications are
executed, is here where the operating system is loaded that makes the
operation of the phone possible.
PART OF OUR SMARTPHONE
Modem. It establishes communication with the cellular network, it is the part that
does the work as a telephone on the smartphone. It is also responsible for the data
connection. Buttons. Despite the fact that most smartphones are tactile, some still
resist. Its functions are usually on, off, there are also volume, fingerprint .
Finger scanner. It is a security element that allows the fingerprint to be
recognized and only gives access if it matches any of the authorized ones.
Gyroscope and accelerometer. These sensors detect movement on all three
axes, as well as the magnitude of that movement.
Haptic engine. It allows to know the level of pressure applied on the screen and
to act differently accordingly.
GPS. The GPS sensor fulfills the function of detecting through your Internet data
your location in real time in the world.
SIM. The SIM tray is one of the elements that still disappear with the
implementation of the virtual SIM, but for now it is fulfilling the function
