3G Mobile Technology

3G Mobile Technology

The third generation of modern phones is the latest and coolest phones, and they evolved from period to period. They are the third-generation communications with more ease and flexibility, and they have a large number of benefits. Modern lifestyle has been developed for the blessing of technology. New advanced technology enables people to lead a digital lifestyle. In this fast-paced world, communication is a major element of life and makes communication easier as technological inventions are being updated constantly. One of the latest additions in the communication technology is none other than the 3G Mobile Technology. International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT—2000), better known as 3G or 3rd Generation, is a generation of standards for mobile phones and mobile telecommunications services fulfilling specifications by the International Telecommunication Union. Application services include wide-area wireless voice telephone, mobile Internet access, video calls and mobile TV, all in a mobile environment. Compared to the older 2G and 2.5G standards, a 3G system must allow simultaneous use of speech and data services. 3G mobile technology has an edge over telephone and internet. Different 2G technologies are now gathered and utilized at one place to give the mobile technology a new dimension and these are called 3G mobile technologies. 3G mobile technology is the combination of earthly and heavenly features. Let’s see the technologies used in 3G mobile and their properties one by one.(www.freewimaxinfo.com/3g-mobile-technology.html)

A new generation of cellular standards has appeared approximately every tenth year since 1G systems were introduced in 1981/1982. Each generation is characterized by new frequency bands, higher data rates and non backwards compatible transmission technology. 4G systems are expected to appear in 2011-2013 (pre-4G systems like LTE and mobile WiMAX have already appeared), and fifth generation systems after 2020. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G)

Third generation, formally known as 3G, is basically the next generation high-speed mobile technology which is based on the Global System of Mobile Communication. This advanced communication technology is power-packed with highly advanced features that enable people to lead a high-tech lifestyle. Among them, the primary one is the advantage of making multiple tasks in a single mobile handset. Another aim of this technology is to provide high-speed services to the users. By having a 3G technology mobile phone, one will be able to access high-speed Internet as this technology supports broadband connectivity. Accessing personal real-time emails with a superior level of sophistication will be just a superb experience .This technology gives the advantage of enjoying multimedia contents and video. One can also take the advantage of video-on-demand, watching news and video clips online anytime and anywhere on his mobile gadget.  ( www.actnowcornwall.co.uk/3Gmobiletechnology.asp)

The modern age 3G mobile phones give users the advantage of experiencing an excellent voice quality and that would be possible almost anywhere across the world. With the advancement of technology, the 3G systems are now moving from low rate data transmission to medium and high speed data for video transmission and Internet searching. These services help the users to accomplish business work with high ease. Additionally, users can also enjoy video telephony through these handsets. The entertainment aspect is also enhanced with a highly powerful music player that is capable to produce a crystal-clear sound output and supports all the popular music formats include MP3, WMA and many more. Customers also can enjoy viewing their favorite video through these handsets. (www.three-g.net/3g_technology.html)

All in all, now all over the world, almost all the leading mobile phone manufactures are offering 3G mobile technology enabled phones. Some of the leading names are Nokia, Samsung, and Motorola. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G)

Magazine summary

Motorcycle

I’ve heard all the argument about efficiency and emissions and they don’t add up on motorcycles. Schoolboy mathematics tells me this. My old carb-equipped VFR750 averages 65mph and 45mpg on the same run. So the carb bike is burning the same amount of fuel as the injected one to do the same speed over the same distance. The only reason the new machine is cleaner is because of the ton and a half of catalytic converter stuffed up the exhaust pipe.

Do any of the manufacturers really care about emissions other than having to meet the legislation? I’m not so sure. Otherwise why would some manufacturers use fuel injection to richen up the mixture (making more harmful emissions) to create a flat spot at the part of the rev range where noise testing occurs to quieten the bike down. BMW are the only people who’ve used injection to make a powerful and clean burning engine. They use clever knock sensors to run their F800 and K1200 motors as lean as they can possibly go. It works, but on the four cylinder bikes it always feels like it’s about to destroy itself on a steady throttle.

That technology came from cars. And that’s my worry. Our bikes are following cars because the technology already exists. But bikes are too special to be built from the car parts bins. Cars are transport like cattle wagons and are designed to be soulless and driven by people who aren’t interested in driving. Riding a bike turns you into that soaring, swooping freebird. Being in control making the bike do what you want is part of the appeal. You can take your car stuff and shove it up your pipe.
