Industry Information:

The history of mobile phones started in the 1940s when the radio telephone technology from two-way radios in vehicles was developed to handheld cellular communicating devices. The first generation of mobile phones was launched in 1973 by Motorola which at that time had a wide history of making automotive radios especially two-way radios for taxicabs and police cruisers. Since then the technology in general and mobile phone in specific is developing day by day with many new features and services. The second generation (2G) mobile phone system was introduced in the 1990s which was characterized by digital circuit switched transmission and the beginning of highly developed and fast phone-to-network signaling. The third generation (3G) started in the 2001 introducing new services in the phone mobile technology which includes wide-area wireless voice telephone, video calls and wireless. It allows simultaneous use of speech and data services and higher data rates (up to 14.0 Mbit/s on the downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s uplink). Therefore, 3G networks enable network operators to offer users wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity. The 3G telecoms services generated over $120 Billion of revenues during 2007. [1]
