telecommunication technology .
Mobile Connectivity

•All portable type of devices has the ability to link & communicate with
other computer systems ,electronic devices, s/w , or the Internet.
•Mobile phone is the widely used device for communication and
connectivity.
 Wi-Fi LAB
Secured (WPS) available

+ Add Wi-Fi network

 WiFi is a technology that allows electronic devices to
connect to a wireless LAN (WLAN) network.

It is usually password protected , but may be

open , which allows any device within its range to
access the sources of the WLAN network.

 Cheap and Best.

 Speed depends on the connections and the number

of people using the Source.

 Sometimes it is fast , and sometimes it can be

Terribly! Slow.
 To Access……

Wireless adapter on computer

Hot Spots : Areas which are enabled with wi-fi

connectivity

Smartphone with wi-fi connectivity

NB : Wireless router is plugged

: Required settings are properly installed
 GPRS
(General Packet Radio Service )

GPRS is a “best effort” service and “a packet

oriented mobile data service on the 2G and 3G
cellular communication system’s global system
for mobile communication”

-Wikipedia
 Features :
 It is a packet based wireless communication

 GPRS is based on Global System for mobile (GSM)

communication & complements existing service such
circuit-switched cellular phone connections and the
Short Message Service (SMS)

GPRS technology brings a number of benefits for

users

It was widely deployed to provide a realistic data

capability via cellular telecommunications technology.
 EDGE
(Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution)

•It is an evolution to the GSM mobile cellular

phones system
•Enables to send data at speeds up to 384 kbps.
•It provides 3 times the data capacity of GPRS.
•Using this, operators can handle 3 times more
subscribers than GPRS.
 3G – 3’rd Generation
  3G – 3’rd Generation
• It is a mobile communication standard that allows
mobile phones, computers & other portable
devices to access the internet wirelessly.

• It allows download speeds of up to 7.2mbps.

• 3G services work using a “cellular” based

technology, the signals are passed
from phone tower to phone tower & then the
tower nearest the phone
passes the signal to it.
 4G 4’th Generation

•4G is the current fastest data network on smartphones

•4G can often be faster than using WiFI

•4G typically around 5 times faster than 3G.

•4G is based on the WiMAX or LTE (Long Term

Evolution) systems and has a theoretical maximum
speed of 100Mbps

•Its coverage is still relatively limited.

5G 5’th Generation

What comes after 4G……?

Expected speed is 1Gbps

100 times faster than 4G

 Advantages
