Assalaamo-3laekum warahmatullaahi wa...
So you’ve probably heard all these terms being used on TV, the internet and even heard people discussing them around you. We take you through each term one by and one and you too can jump right into the conversation! Let’s start by covering the major differences between different 'generation' networks. The ‘g’ stands for generation for anyone who is not well versed with telecom jargon.
We begin with 2G which allowed for voice calls and text messaging. 2G was followed by 2.5G which has been the mobile network technology in Pakistan to date i.e. the means by which you have been accessing internet on your mobile phone so far! The speed is slow which also means that only a limited number of internet services can be performed optimally.
After the auction for 3G and 4G licenses, Pakistan now has both 3rd and 4th generation mobile network technology. 3G will allow high speed internet access as well as services such as voice and video calling, file transmission, better internet browsing, video streaming, social gaming and much more.
4th generation mobile networks or 4G is believed to provide all the services that 3G does, but the speed will be faster than 3G. At this point in time, all the smart operators have opted for 3G to utilize the opportunities that 3G brings which currently are not realistic for 4G. The reason being that the ecosystem for 4G in Pakistan is very much in its infancy and thus does not merit an investment in 4G license at this point in time.
3G in Pakistan
Three cheers for Pakistan as we finally get the license to use 3G technology in the country! If you’re new to the term 3G and how it will make our lives so much better, then no fear, we’ll cover the basics with you.
What is 3G?
3G technology allows fast, on-the-go internet access on your mobile phone. 3G is an evolution of the 2G technology or Edge that has been in use in Pakistan. Most of you would know that that the ‘E’ sign when you were using internet on your phone stood for Edge. This ‘E’ sign denoting Edge will be replaced by 3G, ‘H’ or ‘H+’
What difference will this make to you, an existing or a new user of mobile internet?
The 3G internet experience will differ from 2G or Edge not only in terms of speed but also in terms of the services offered. Earlier, video streaming on the go was impossible. Now you can be stuck in traffic and stream the T20 cricket match on your phone you were missing out on!
What other benefits will 3G bring?
Entertainment is only one of the many aspects that 3G is expected to improve our quality of life in. We can look forward to increased internet usage across the country which is something all cellular companies in Pakistan would be very excited about! Cellular network companies have been striving to make internet access more and more prevalent in Pakistan
High speed internet on the go can contribute to education by distributing information easily and providing teaching/training material to remote areas. It is also expected to contribute to more diverse and secure financial services on mobile devices.
