3G Service provides in Mumbai
In Mumbai the 3G services are offered by the state owned and run Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limted (MTNL). It has announced that it has reduced the tariffs for the prepaid as low as to Rs 109 in Mumbai Circle which means that the new customers can avail the new tariff plan from MTNL which offers high speed internet access (HSPA) and users can download any audio, video and data at a very cheaper rate. It is offering it services under the brand name of Jadoo.
The new rates applicable for the Mumbai circle are 20p per min to for local video and voice call between same network and 50p between other networks. This package has a lifetime validity. STD video and voice calls attract a tariff of 75p per minute. The new connection offers 25 minutes free video calls and 25 Mb of free data download and a talk time of Rs 25 only.
3G services in India - Difference between 2G and 3G?
To speak technically about the 3G service and 2G service is that the primary difference between these two services i.e 3G and 2G networks is how quickly data can be sent and received on a mobile network. Since every one wants every thing on finger tips 3G services play a vital role in the 21 century. The dream of every one to do video calls will become true with the 3G service because a 3G network can send and receive data up to 40 times compared to the 2G network which to my understanding is that apart from the regular features which are offered in the current networks like the audio, images and text which can be sent and received now all those with a 3G enabled mobile and 3G network these users can send and receive video contents, calls on their mobile phones in 3G network coverage areas which changes the way a mobile phone is used. They provide service at 5-10 Mb per second. The dream has come true in some metros of India like Mumbai and other places.
The 3G service gives more bandwidth to the users giving greater speed and access and also gives way to support more applications and features. This service can accommodate many more features. With 3G services one can have a faster connection for loading web pages, browsing internet, can have a better call quality, high speed of streaming video and audio online. The fun of watching live TV anywhere on the move will be resolved by the 3G services and also all the multi media functions especially online can be done with a greater speed and accuracy. Though 3G has its advantages than 2G it drains the battery life. So it is advised to use a mobile phone with a high battery life.
3G services in India- What is it all about?
3G services in India is the current talk of the town and all tech savvy people are behind it to know what a 3G service in India offers to them. The term 3G which is often referred to the third generation technology is a familiar term used to address the next generation of mobile communications systems or the technology used in Mobile phones. Internationally 3G refers to or known as IMT 2000 which means International Mobile Telecommunications which has been International Telecommunication Union as a standard in the Tele communications field. This includes al the services offered on the GSM, CDMA and WiMax.
The 3G is a new service in the field which upgrades or enhance the services offered currently and in addition to it offers services to multi media, Internet very fastly and also the live video etc can be seen with a greater streaming. Any one with a 3G enabled phone and having access to the 3G service one can send and receive video calls with greater speed, watch live TV with high streaming speed, able to access the internet, send and receive emails and download music tracks and the usual voice call and messaging services found on a mobile phone with any mobile service provider.
3G services in India
3G Services in India
Once you have 3G Services activated and your handset supports video calls then you can even make video calls to a compatible device without having webcam or sitting in front of computer.
3G Services in India are launched only by MTNL initially with its own risk. Later MTNL is followed by BSNL in the same spectrum to provide its customers 3G services in India and is in common use now for BSNL and MTNL customers. There are security risks made by Indian security agencies saying that voice calls are not decodable and we need to halt their 3G services till they are able to decode such calls. On the contrary both the Telco’s denied to halt and asked them to find a solution as soon as possible. Once the solution is on then we have a wide spectrum of 3G network in India and communication will become more frequent by the use of 3G services.
A 3G service network is well capable for sending and receiving video calls, watch live TV, access the internet, receive emails and download music tracks, as well as the usual voice call and messaging services found on a mobile phone. So this gives a nice and fast way of communication and use a mobile phone more than what it does in present.
However 3G services in India are still need to be launched on broad spectrum. Department of Telecommunication has approved the launch of 3G service in India and provided the spectrums to different mobile companies for their launch in this year 2010. So India will be soon able to achieve 3G communication.
Pricing is actually reasonable as rs. 300 is the initial for entry and rs. 3 per MB. There are various data packs available in pre paid as well as in Post paid. But the services still are not in full flow as customers have network problem. Once the services go on its full swing then India will have great future in 3G spectrum.
3G Service in India launched in various metro cities and states which include 13 major cities with Mumbai, Banglore and Delhi as metro cities. Service launched in Agra, Ambala, Dehradun, Jammu, Shimla, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Patna, Durgapur, Lucknow ,Haldia, Ranchi and Bhubaneshwar.
At last on the fate whether we are able to mess up with 3G services of India, there is a new technology already came as 4G which has very much faster and obvious better than 3G and provide its users a more wider spectrum of telecommunication through mobiles.
3G Services of India are still need to catch up the pace and need much broad spectrum to initiate 3G Service in India to win the race with other countries.
What is 3G Technology?
3G wireless technology represents the convergence of various 2G wireless telecommunications systems into a single uniform global system which includes terrestrial and satellite components in its functioning.
3G or the third-generation wireless refers to near future developments in personal & business wireless technology, especially relating to mobile communications. 3G or The Third Generation will usher in many benefits as roaming capability, broad bandwidth and high speed communication (upwards of 2Mbps).
Network operators & telecommunications service providers are embracing the recently adopted global third generation (3G) wireless standards in order to cater to emerging user demands and to offer new services to their customers.3G wireless technology represents a shift from voice-centric services to multimedia-oriented like video, voice, data, fax services.
The most interesting & useful aspect of 3G wireless technology is its ability to unify existing cellular standards such as GSM, CDMA and TDMA.
