The Evolution of Mobile Technology

Early discovery of radio transmission is initiated by Guglielmo Marconi in 1901 which became the basis of mobile technology. Guglielmo Marconi is inspired by Clark Maxwell theory of electromagnetic radiation.After several years of research finally the first precursors introduced. In the years 1940s in Europe. This is the beginning of the development of mobile technology. until now, the development of technology is growing very rapidly.

The launch of the first generation of mobile technology was carried out in 1970s. First system of 1G used an analog system. This system is the basis of new technology for the world’s telecommunications. There are several standart of 1G system. Such as Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) which is used in the United State. Nordic Mobile Telephone (NMT) used in Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and sweden) There are also Total Access Communication System (TACS) this system used in United Kingdom.

After 20 years of using 1G finally 2G discovered in 1990s. 2G is usually refered to as global system for mobile communication. 2G have excellence service that quite a lot compare with the previous network such as paging, faxing, and voice mailing.2G network also has quite a lot of data services such as WAP, HSCSD and MLS. Benefits 2G is very useful at the moment, because the technology can reduce noise. In other words the user’s voice can be clearly heard. 2G also provide extra security, because data has been shaped digital encryption.

After the second generation was found in the early 1990s, finally the next generation 2G network is 2,5G found at the end of 1990s. This generation used standart GPRS system (general Packet Radio Service). The system can increase the data capacity because of the higher data capacity of the graphic delivery can be done. With the discovery of 2,5G packet switch data (IP) can be applied. this is the beginning of the development of mobile internet technology.

After several years of research, finally the 3G network be discovered 3G adapted from some previous discovery. 3G network used GPRS (general Packet Radio Service) system that has been perfected. On the previous network standart IP not yet determined, then in this 3G system IP began standardized globally. Benefit of 3G very much, because 3G network have suficent bandwidth. So many features that we can use as a video call, streaming, and many more. With the advantages provided by a 3G network, the world community is now using 3G network to communicate.

After success of 3G networks in telecommunications, network researchers didn’t stop developing better and faster. With the demands of fast data speeds and efficient. Eventually researchers can develop a better network, that is 4G / LTE and more proud of is the inventor of 4G is Indonesian. with the 4G network, the potential applications that can be used more. Such as video conferencing in high definition. Speed of 4G is very fast some of the companies trying 4G mobile communication at 100 Mbps for mobile users and up to 1 Gbps over fixed stations.

The development of mobile technology from year to year continues to progress in the field of telecommunications. Let us together build a network. so that people can communicate more smooth and comfortable. because in the future, the speed of information is needed.
