==About This Document==<br />
<br />
This document contains the information necessary to produce a fully programmed Idrive Main board suitable for building of an Idrive X1 V7 series camera. This includes all programming, testing, focus of lenses and bar code label.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
==Build Lot Preparation==<br />
<br />
Purchase all required parts.<br />
<br />
Supplied serialized Bar code Labels from idrive, one per board.<span style="color: red">'''I propose we buy preprinted Polyimide lables for the main board. The Polyimide labels are made to survive the PCB assembly process and are pretty standard on PCB assemblies. The other two labels (for camera case and shipping box) would be scanned and printed at that stage of processing. It is not realistic for three labels to be printed and not have them get mixed up or lost through the process. Here is the closest label size I could find. 10mm x 22mm max is pretty small for the barcode and serial number to be visible. Let's discuss this'''<br />

<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
===Assemble PCB===<br />
<br />
'''1.''' SMT Placement - Use the supplied pick and place information supplied by Idrive<br />
<br />
'''2.''' Through Hole / Hand parts - Document by vendor process<br />
<br />
'''3.''' Place Barcode label on the SD Card connector<br />
<br />
<br />
====LED Height Requirements====<br />
<br />
:BiColor LED Mounting Height requirement is 6.25mm +/- 0.1MM from base of LED to PCB surface<br />
<br />
[[File:Biled_height.jpg|300px|]]<br />
<br />
:IR Leds Mounting Height ( requirement is 12.25mm +/- 0.1MM from base of LED to PCB surface<br />
<br />
[[File:Irled_height.jpg|300px|]]<br />
<br />
'''4.''' Advance the board to the next Station for Top Level Assembly<br />

<br />
<br />
When an Idrive X1 main board completes the SMT and hand solder process there are some additional assembly steps needed before programming<br />
<br />
'''1.''' Bar Code Labels - Unique Serial Number Labels will be pre-generated for each Main Board in the work order.<span style="color: red"> Three labels are required for each serial number(one for the main board, one for final camera case, one for the outside of the packing box). The Bar Code Label needs to be max. 22 mm x 10 mm. After SMT Assembly each Main board needs have a serial number label (supplied) affixed to the SD Card Connector. This serial number will track the main board through all processes and eventually become the camera serial number.''' It will be difficult and error prone for all three labels to be printed up front. I suggest that one label be printed at this stage and affixed to the Main board. Then when the main board gets put into a camera we rescan the label and print another one at that time. Same with shipping, Scan the label and print it at that station to eliminate lost of mixed up labels. What should a serial number be composed of? Manufacturer code, board version, unique number for that board?'''<br />
<br />
'''2.''' Mounting of the two Lens Holders Mounting to the board.<br />
<br />
'''3.''' Inserting the lenses in the Lens Holders.(Lenses are glued after programming and focus)<br />
<br />
'''4.''' Advance the Top Level PCB assembly to the Programming Station<br />

==About This Document==<br />
<br />
This document contains the information necessary to produce a fully programmed Idrive Main board suitable for building of an Idrive X1 V7 series camera. This includes all programming, testing, focus of lenses and bar code label.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br/><br/><br />
<br />
==Build Lot Preparation==<br />
<br />
Purchase all required parts.<br />
<br />
Supplied serialized Bar code Labels from idrive, one per board.<span style="color: red">'''I propose we buy preprinted Polyimide lables for the main board. The Polyimide labels are made to survive the PCB assembly process and are pretty standard on PCB assemblies. The other two labels (for camera case and shipping box) would be scanned and printed at that stage of processing. It is not realistic for three labels to be printed and not have them get mixed up or lost through the process. Here is the closest label size I could find. 10mm x 22mm max is pretty small for the barcode and serial number to be visible. Let's discuss this'''<br />

<br/><br/><br />
<br />
===Assemble PCB===<br />
<br />
'''1.''' SMT Placement - Use the supplied pick and place information supplied by Idrive<br />
<br />
'''2.''' Through Hole / Hand parts - Document by vendor process<br />
<br />
'''3.''' Place Barcode label on the SD Card connector<br />
<br />
<br />
====LED Height Requirements====<br />
<br />
:BiColor LED Mounting Height requirement is 6.25mm +/- 0.1MM from base of LED to PCB surface<br />

|}<br />
<br />
<br />
When an Idrive X1 main board completes the SMT and hand solder process there are some additional assembly steps needed before programming<br />
<br />
'''1.''' Bar Code Labels - Unique Serial Number Labels will be pre-generated for each Main Board in the work order.<span style="color: red"> Three labels are required for each serial number(one for the main board, one for final camera case, one for the outside of the packing box). The Bar Code Label needs to be max. 22 mm x 10 mm. After SMT Assembly each Main board needs have a serial number label (supplied) affixed to the SD Card Connector. This serial number will track the main board through all processes and eventually become the camera serial number.''' It will be difficult and error prone for all three labels to be printed up front. I suggest that one label be printed at this stage and affixed to the Main board. Then when the main board gets put into a camera we rescan the label and print another one at that time. Same with shipping, Scan the label and print it at that station to eliminate lost of mixed up labels. What should a serial number be composed of? Manufacturer code, board version, unique number for that board?'''<br />
<br />
'''2.''' Mounting of the two Lens Holders Mounting to the board.<br />
<br />
'''3.''' Inserting the lenses in the Lens Holders.(Lenses are glued after programming and focus)<br />
<br />
'''4.''' Advance the Top Level PCB assembly to the Programming Station<br />

Firmware 9.9 Specs
2012-09-11T14:14:13Z
<p>Stefan: /* Code Improvements */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
Changes, Updates and New Features<br />
<br />
Important! Need to create a single modular Firmware that can work with all old (v5) devices, current boards (v7, v8) and future devices (Idrive X2).<br />
<br />
==Boot loader and Kernel==<br />
<br />
Starting with v7 we will use a '''new boot loader''' version. The new boot loader can be installed at old v5 boards in the RMA process.<br />
<br />
The new boot loader offers new features like: loading kernel and file system from SD card, etc.<br />
<br />
Also starting with v7 we have a '''new Kernel 2.6.24''' that is same Kernel version with some modules and configuration for GPRS.<br />
<br />
==Code Improvements==<br />
<br />
===Single Config File===<br />
<br />
Needs to be an XML file that contain all info from firmware version to IP, SSID and more.<br />

<br />
===7/8 stable frames===<br />
<br />
This firmware version needs to have some 7/8 frame stability like Firmware 9.6.<br />
<br />
===Set lower values for SDRAM===<br />
<br />
According to some tests made by Aurel... need more info here.<br />
<br />
==Sleep Mode==<br />
<br />
On 9.6 firmware we have 3 modes: Test, Event, Transfer.<br />
<br />
The Sleep Mode will be optional by checking a variable in the Config file.<br />
<br />
The device will enter the Sleep Mode after Transfer Mode.<br />
<br />
===Sleep Mode Initialization===<br />
<br />
1. Stop the IR Led power (shut the IR leds off)<br />
<br />
2. Stop the buffering (video, audio, GPS, etc)<br />
<br />
3. Stop both cameras<br />
<br />
4. Stop the GPS logger<br />
<br />
===Sleep Mode Functionality===<br />
<br />
1. Trigger Events - the device will wake up and start recording from that specific moment = Wake Up Event (24 seconds)<br />
<br />
2. Timer - the device will remain in the Sleep Mode 72 hours (this value can be set from Config file), after Sleep Mode and if no IGN ON the device will shut down.<br />
<br />
3. If IGN ON the device will enter in Event Mode (without restart)<br />
<br />
4. Optional! In Sleep Mode the device can go in Transfer Mode ever hour or so (adjustable from Config file)<br />
<br />
===Sleep Mode Tests===<br />
<br />
1. Need to establish the exact current in Sleep Mode.<br />
<br />
2. Need to see how fast the Event Mode can be start<br />
<br />
3. Need to see how many seconds from the Wake Up Trigger will need to start recording.<br />
<br />

<p>Stefan: /* Single Config File */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
==Summary==<br />
<br />
Changes, Updates and New Features<br />
<br />
Important! Need to create a single modular Firmware that can work with all old (v5) devices, current boards (v7, v8) and future devices (Idrive X2).<br />
<br />
==Boot loader and Kernel==<br />
<br />
Starting with v7 we will use a '''new boot loader''' version. The new boot loader can be installed at old v5 boards in the RMA process.<br />
<br />
The new boot loader offers new features like: loading kernel and file system from SD card, etc.<br />
<br />
Also starting with v7 we have a '''new Kernel 2.6.24''' that is same Kernel version with some modules and configuration for GPRS.<br />
<br />

2. Timer - the device will remain in the Sleep Mode 72 hours (this value can be set from Config file), after Sleep Mode and if no IGN ON the device will shut down.<br />
<br />
3. If IGN ON the device will enter in Event Mode (without restart)<br />
<br />
4. Optional! In Sleep Mode the device can go in Transfer Mode ever hour or so (adjustable from Config file)<br />
<br />
===Sleep Mode Tests===<br />
<br />
1. Need to establish the exact current in Sleep Mode.<br />
<br />
2. Need to see how fast the Event Mode can be start<br />
<br />
3. Need to see how many seconds from the Wake Up Trigger will need to start recording.<br />

<div><br />
==IDR-HE910-D Proto 1==<br />
<br />
The IDR-HE910-D prototype is using the Telit HE910-D module. For more info about this module family visit [http://www.telit.com/en/products/umts.php?p_id=14&p_ac=show&p=108 HE910]<br />
<br />
<br />
==Tests==<br />
<br />
<br />
===First in-vehicle test===<br />
<br />
Device: Idrive X1 (2012 production)<br />
<br />
Vehicle: Stefan's car<br />
<br />
Driver: Stefan Dragomir<br />
<br />
Location: Bucharest - Constanta (Mamaia)<br />
<br />
Test results: The prototype sent GPS coordonates and events data to the server (mirror).<br />
<br />
GPS txt file analyse: The GPS module needs 4 to 6 minutes to start having good/valid GPS coordonates.<br />
<br />
===Suggestions===<br />
<br />
The Idrive X1 device needst to maintain the GPS unit powered non-stop. To implement this I want to develop the "Sleep Mode" in the firmware.</div>

<p>Stefan: /* Mobile telephone interfaces bit rate */</p>
<hr />
<div><br />
<br />
<br />
==2G==<br />
<br />
'''2G''' (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.[1] Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted; 2G systems were significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.<br />
<br />
2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards depending on the type of multiplexing used. The main 2G standards are:<br />
<br />
*'''GSM''' (TDMA-based), originally from Europe but used in almost all countries on all six inhabited continents. Today accounts for over 80% of all subscribers around the world. Over 60 GSM operators are also using CDMA2000 in the 450 MHz frequency band (CDMA450)<br />
<br />
* IS-95 aka cdmaOne (CDMA-based, commonly referred as simply CDMA in the US), used in the Americas and parts of Asia. Today accounts for about 17% of all subscribers globally. Over a dozen CDMA operators have migrated to GSM including operators in Mexico, India, Australia and South Korea.<br />
<br />
* PDC (TDMA-based), used exclusively in Japan<br />
<br />
* iDEN (TDMA-based), proprietary network used by Nextel in the United States and Telus Mobility in Canada<br />
<br />
* IS-136 a.k.a. D-AMPS (TDMA-based, commonly referred as simply 'TDMA' in the US), was once prevalent in the Americas but most have migrated to GSM.<br />
<br />
2G services are frequently referred as Personal Communications Service, or PCS, in the United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"<br />
! System !! Band !! Uplink (MHz) !! Downlink (MHz) !! Channel number<br />
|-<br />
|GSM-850 || 850 || 824.2–849.2 || 869.2–894.2 || 128–251<br />
|-<br />
|P-GSM-900 || 900 || 890.0–915.0 || 935.0–960.0 || 1–124<br />
|-<br />
|E-GSM-900 || 900 || 880.0–915.0 || 925.0–960.0 || 975–1023, 0-124<br />
|-<br />
|R-GSM-900 || 900 || 876.0–915.0 || 921.0–960.0 || 955–1023, 0-124<br />
|-<br />
|T-GSM-900 || 900 || 870.4–876.0 || 915.4–921.0 || dynamic<br />
|-<br />
|DCS-1800 || 1800 || 1,710.2–1,784.8 || 1,805.2–1,879.8 || 512–885<br />
|-<br />
|PCS-1900 || 1900 || 1,850.2–1,909.8 || 1,930.2–1,989.8 || 512–810<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.5G (GPRS)==<br />
<br />
'''2.5G ("second and a half generation")''' is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet-switched domain in addition to the circuit-switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit-switched data services (HSCSD) as well. The first major step in the evolution of GSM networks to 3G occurred with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service ('''GPRS'''). CDMA2000 networks similarly evolved through the introduction of 1xRTT. The combination of these capabilities came to be known as 2.5G. GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 115 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of traffic transferred, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user actually is utilizing the capacity or is in an idle state. 1xRTT supports bi-directional (up and downlink) peak data rates up to 153.6 kbit/s, delivering an average user data throughput of 80-100 kbit/s in commercial networks.[3] It can also be used for WAP, SMS & MMS services, as well as Internet access.<br />
<br />
<br />
===GPRS===<br />
<br />
'''General packet radio service (GPRS)''' is a packet oriented mobile data service on the 2G and 3G cellular communication system's global system for mobile communications (GSM). GPRS was originally standardized by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to the earlier CDPD and i-mode packet-switched cellular technologies. It is now maintained by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).<br />
<br />
GPRS usage is typically charged based on volume of data transferred, contrasting with circuit switched data, which is usually billed per minute of connection time. GPRS data may be sold either as part of a bundle (e.g., up to 5 GB per month for a fixed fee) or on a pay-as-you-use basis. Usage above the bundle cap is either charged per megabyte or disallowed.<br />
<br />
GPRS is a best-effort service, implying variable throughput and latency that depend on the number of other users sharing the pservice concurrently, as opposed to circuit switching, where a certain quality of service (QoS) is guaranteed during the connection. In 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates of 56–114 kbit/second.[3] 2G cellular technology combined with GPRS is sometimes described as 2.5G, that is, a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony.[4] It provides moderate-speed data transfer, by using unused time division multiple access (TDMA) channels in, for example, the GSM system. GPRS is integrated into GSM Release 97 and newer releases.<br />
<br />
The GPRS core network allows 2G, 3G and WCDMA mobile networks to transmit IP packets to external networks such as the Internet. The GPRS system is an integrated part of the GSM network switching subsystem.<br />
<br />
====Services offered====<br />
<br />
GPRS extends the GSM Packet circuit switched data capabilities and makes the following services possible:<br />
<br />
* SMS messaging and broadcasting<br />
* "Always on" internet access<br />
* Multimedia messaging service (MMS)<br />
* Push to talk over cellular (PoC)<br />
* Instant messaging and presence—wireless village<br />
* Internet applications for smart devices through wireless application protocol (WAP)<br />
* Point-to-point (P2P) service: inter-networking with the Internet (IP)<br />
* Point-to-Multipoint (P2M) service: point-to-multipoint multicast and point-to-multipoint group calls<br />
<br />
If SMS over GPRS is used, an SMS transmission speed of about 30 SMS messages per minute may be achieved. This is much faster than using the ordinary SMS over GSM, whose SMS transmission speed is about 6 to 10 SMS messages per minute.<br />
<br />
====Protocols supported====<br />
<br />
GPRS supports the following protocols:<br />
<br />
* Internet protocol IP. In practice, built-in mobile browsers use IPv4 since IPv6 was not yet popular.<br />
* Point-to-point protocol (PPP). In this mode PPP is often not supported by the mobile phone operator but if the mobile is used as a modem to the connected computer, PPP is used to tunnel IP to the phone. This allows an IP address to be assigned dynamically (IPCP not DHCP) to the mobile equipment.<br />
* X.25 connections. This is typically used for applications like wireless payment terminals, although it has been removed from the standard. X.25 can still be supported over PPP, or even over IP, but doing this requires either a network based router to perform encapsulation or intelligence built in to the end-device/terminal; e.g., user equipment (UE).<br />
<br />
When TCP/IP is used, each phone can have one or more IP addresses allocated. GPRS will store and forward the IP packets to the phone even during handover. The TCP handles any packet loss (e.g. due to a radio noise induced pause).<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.75G (EDGE)==<br />
<br />
GPRS1 networks evolved to '''EDGE''' networks with the introduction of 8PSK encoding. Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), or IMT Single Carrier (IMT-SC) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in 2003—initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in the United States.<br />
<br />
EDGE is standardized by 3GPP as part of the GSM family and it is an upgrade that provides a potential three-fold increase in capacity of GSM/GPRS networks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for '''3rd Generation''', is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* '''EDGE''', a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
** EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on 3G systems. However, in practice EDGE is seldom marketed as a 3G system, but a 2.9G system. EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end.<br />
<br />
** Evolved EDGE, the latest revision, has peaks of 1 Mbit/s downstream and 400kbit/s upstream, but is not commercially used.<br />
<br />
* '''UMTS''' - The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, created and revised by the 3GPP. The family is a full revision from GSM in terms of encoding methods and hardware, although some GSM sites can be retrofitted to broadcast in the UMTS/W-CDMA format.<br />
<br />
** W-CDMA is the most common deployment, commonly operated on the 2,100 MHz band. A few others use the 850, 900 and 1,900 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
* The '''CDMA2000''' system, or IS-2000, including CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data (or EVDO), standardized by 3GPP2 (differing from the 3GPP), evolving from the original IS-95 CDMA system, is used especially in North America, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (NextG|Telstra NextG, Vodafone Hutchison Australia Vodafone), Hong Kong (SmarTone), Thailand (True move and DTAC), New Zealand (XT Mobile Network), Brazil, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel (Pelephone, , parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia (Optus and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand (Vodafone NZ), Thailand (Advanced Info Service), Dominican Republic (Orange Dominicana), Venezuela (Digitel GSM), Poland (Play (telecommunications) and Aero2 HSPA+ Internet only)<br />

<br />
<br />
==4G==<br />
<br />
In telecommunications, '''4G''' is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile communications standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.<br />
<br />
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: The Mobile WiMAX standard (at first in South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long term evolution (LTE) standard (in Scandinavia since 2009). It has however been debated if these first-release versions should be considered as 4G or not. See technical definition.<br />
In the U.S. Sprint Nextel has deployed Mobile WiMAX networks since 2008, and MetroPCS was the first operator to offer LTE service in 2010. USB wireless modems have been available since the start, while WiMAX smartphones have been available since 2010, and LTE smartphones since 2011. Equipment made for different continents are not always compatible, because of different frequency bands. Mobile WiMAX are currently (April 2012) not available for the European market.<br />
<br />
In Australia, Telstra launched the country's first 4G network (LTE) in 2011 and announced an "aggressive" expansion of that network in 2012.<br />

<br />
==2G==<br />
<br />
'''2G''' (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.[1] Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted; 2G systems were significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.<br />
<br />
2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards depending on the type of multiplexing used. The main 2G standards are:<br />
<br />
*'''GSM''' (TDMA-based), originally from Europe but used in almost all countries on all six inhabited continents. Today accounts for over 80% of all subscribers around the world. Over 60 GSM operators are also using CDMA2000 in the 450 MHz frequency band (CDMA450)<br />
<br />
* IS-95 aka cdmaOne (CDMA-based, commonly referred as simply CDMA in the US), used in the Americas and parts of Asia. Today accounts for about 17% of all subscribers globally. Over a dozen CDMA operators have migrated to GSM including operators in Mexico, India, Australia and South Korea.<br />
<br />
* PDC (TDMA-based), used exclusively in Japan<br />
<br />
* iDEN (TDMA-based), proprietary network used by Nextel in the United States and Telus Mobility in Canada<br />
<br />
* IS-136 a.k.a. D-AMPS (TDMA-based, commonly referred as simply 'TDMA' in the US), was once prevalent in the Americas but most have migrated to GSM.<br />
<br />
2G services are frequently referred as Personal Communications Service, or PCS, in the United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"<br />

|PCS-1900 || 1900 || 1,850.2–1,909.8 || 1,930.2–1,989.8 || 512–810<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.5G (GPRS)==<br />
<br />
'''2.5G ("second and a half generation")''' is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet-switched domain in addition to the circuit-switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit-switched data services (HSCSD) as well. The first major step in the evolution of GSM networks to 3G occurred with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service ('''GPRS'''). CDMA2000 networks similarly evolved through the introduction of 1xRTT. The combination of these capabilities came to be known as 2.5G. GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 115 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of traffic transferred, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user actually is utilizing the capacity or is in an idle state. 1xRTT supports bi-directional (up and downlink) peak data rates up to 153.6 kbit/s, delivering an average user data throughput of 80-100 kbit/s in commercial networks.[3] It can also be used for WAP, SMS & MMS services, as well as Internet access.<br />
<br />
<br />
===GPRS===<br />
<br />
'''General packet radio service (GPRS)''' is a packet oriented mobile data service on the 2G and 3G cellular communication system's global system for mobile communications (GSM). GPRS was originally standardized by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to the earlier CDPD and i-mode packet-switched cellular technologies.

GPRS is integrated into GSM Release 97 and newer releases.<br />
<br />
The GPRS core network allows 2G, 3G and WCDMA mobile networks to transmit IP packets to external networks such as the Internet. The GPRS system is an integrated part of the GSM network switching subsystem.<br />
<br />
====Services offered====<br />
<br />
GPRS extends the GSM Packet circuit switched data capabilities and makes the following services possible:<br />
<br />
* SMS messaging and broadcasting<br />
* "Always on" internet access<br />
* Multimedia messaging service (MMS)<br />
* Push to talk over cellular (PoC)<br />
* Instant messaging and presence—wireless village<br />
* Internet applications for smart devices through wireless application protocol (WAP)<br />
* Point-to-point (P2P) service: inter-networking with the Internet (IP)<br />
* Point-to-Multipoint (P2M) service: point-to-multipoint multicast and point-to-multipoint group calls<br />
<br />
If SMS over GPRS is used, an SMS transmission speed of about 30 SMS messages per minute may be achieved. This is much faster than using the ordinary SMS over GSM, whose SMS transmission speed is about 6 to 10 SMS messages per minute.<br />
<br />
====Protocols supported====<br />
<br />
GPRS supports the following protocols:<br />
<br />
* Internet protocol IP. In practice, built-in mobile browsers use IPv4 since IPv6 was not yet popular.<br />
* Point-to-point protocol (PPP). In this mode PPP is often not supported by the mobile phone operator but if the mobile is used as a modem to the connected computer, PPP is used to tunnel IP to the phone. This allows an IP address to be assigned dynamically (IPCP not DHCP) to the mobile equipment.<br />
* X.25 connections. This is typically used for applications like wireless payment terminals, although it has been removed from the standard. X.25 can still be supported over PPP, or even over IP, but doing this requires either a network based router to perform encapsulation or intelligence built in to the end-device/terminal; e.g., user equipment (UE).<br />
<br />
When TCP/IP is used, each phone can have one or more IP addresses allocated. GPRS will store and forward the IP packets to the phone even during handover. The TCP handles any packet loss (e.g. due to a radio noise induced pause).<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.75G (EDGE)==<br />
<br />
GPRS1 networks evolved to '''EDGE''' networks with the introduction of 8PSK encoding. Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), or IMT Single Carrier (IMT-SC) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in 2003—initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in the United States.<br />
<br />
EDGE is standardized by 3GPP as part of the GSM family and it is an upgrade that provides a potential three-fold increase in capacity of GSM/GPRS networks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for '''3rd Generation''', is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* '''EDGE''', a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme.

<br />
* '''UMTS''' - The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, created and revised by the 3GPP. The family is a full revision from GSM in terms of encoding methods and hardware, although some GSM sites can be retrofitted to broadcast in the UMTS/W-CDMA format.<br />
<br />
** W-CDMA is the most common deployment, commonly operated on the 2,100 MHz band. A few others use the 850, 900 and 1,900 MHz bands.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />

==4G==<br />
<br />
In telecommunications, '''4G''' is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile communications standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.<br />
<br />
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: The Mobile WiMAX standard (at first in South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long term evolution (LTE) standard (in Scandinavia since 2009). It has however been debated if these first-release versions should be considered as 4G or not. See technical definition.<br />
In the U.S. Sprint Nextel has deployed Mobile WiMAX networks since 2008, and MetroPCS was the first operator to offer LTE service in 2010. USB wireless modems have been available since the start, while WiMAX smartphones have been available since 2010, and LTE smartphones since 2011. Equipment made for different continents are not always compatible, because of different frequency bands. Mobile WiMAX are currently (April 2012) not available for the European market.<br />
<br />
In Australia, Telstra launched the country's first 4G network (LTE) in 2011 and announced an "aggressive" expansion of that network in 2012.<br />

==2G==<br />
<br />
'''2G''' (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.[1] Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted; 2G systems were significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.<br />
<br />
2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards depending on the type of multiplexing used. The main 2G standards are:<br />
<br />
*'''GSM''' (TDMA-based), originally from Europe but used in almost all countries on all six inhabited continents. Today accounts for over 80% of all subscribers around the world. Over 60 GSM operators are also using CDMA2000 in the 450 MHz frequency band (CDMA450)<br />
<br />
* IS-95 aka cdmaOne (CDMA-based, commonly referred as simply CDMA in the US), used in the Americas and parts of Asia. Today accounts for about 17% of all subscribers globally. Over a dozen CDMA operators have migrated to GSM including operators in Mexico, India, Australia and South Korea.<br />
<br />
* PDC (TDMA-based), used exclusively in Japan<br />
<br />
* iDEN (TDMA-based), proprietary network used by Nextel in the United States and Telus Mobility in Canada<br />
<br />
* IS-136 a.k.a. D-AMPS (TDMA-based, commonly referred as simply 'TDMA' in the US), was once prevalent in the Americas but most have migrated to GSM.<br />
<br />
2G services are frequently referred as Personal Communications Service, or PCS, in the United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"<br />
! System !! Band !! Uplink (MHz) !! Downlink (MHz) !! Channel number<br />
|-<br />
|GSM-850 || 850 || 824.2–849.2 || 869.2–894.2 || 128–251<br />
|-<br />
|P-GSM-900 || 900 || 890.0–915.0 || 935.0–960.0 || 1–124<br />
|-<br />
|E-GSM-900 || 900 || 880.0–915.0 || 925.0–960.0 || 975–1023, 0-124<br />
|-<br />
|R-GSM-900 || 900 || 876.0–915.0 || 921.0–960.0 || 955–1023, 0-124<br />
|-<br />
|T-GSM-900 || 900 || 870.4–876.0 || 915.4–921.0 || dynamic<br />
|-<br />
|DCS-1800 || 1800 || 1,710.2–1,784.8 || 1,805.2–1,879.8 || 512–885<br />
|-<br />
|PCS-1900 || 1900 || 1,850.2–1,909.8 || 1,930.2–1,989.8 || 512–810<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.5G (GPRS)==<br />
<br />
'''2.5G ("second and a half generation")''' is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet-switched domain in addition to the circuit-switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit-switched data services (HSCSD) as well. The first major step in the evolution of GSM networks to 3G occurred with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service ('''GPRS'''). CDMA2000 networks similarly evolved through the introduction of 1xRTT. The combination of these capabilities came to be known as 2.5G. GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 115 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of traffic transferred, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user actually is utilizing the capacity or is in an idle state. 1xRTT supports bi-directional (up and downlink) peak data rates up to 153.6 kbit/s, delivering an average user data throughput of 80-100 kbit/s in commercial networks.[3] It can also be used for WAP, SMS & MMS services, as well as Internet access.<br />
<br />
<br />
===GPRS===<br />
<br />
'''General packet radio service (GPRS)''' is a packet oriented mobile data service on the 2G and 3G cellular communication system's global system for mobile communications (GSM). GPRS was originally standardized by European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to the earlier CDPD and i-mode packet-switched cellular technologies. It is now maintained by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).<br />
<br />
GPRS usage is typically charged based on volume of data transferred, contrasting with circuit switched data, which is usually billed per minute of connection time. GPRS data may be sold either as part of a bundle (e.g., up to 5 GB per month for a fixed fee) or on a pay-as-you-use basis. Usage above the bundle cap is either charged per megabyte or disallowed.<br />
<br />
GPRS is a best-effort service, implying variable throughput and latency that depend on the number of other users sharing the pservice concurrently, as opposed to circuit switching, where a certain quality of service (QoS) is guaranteed during the connection. In 2G systems, GPRS provides data rates of 56–114 kbit/second.[3] 2G cellular technology combined with GPRS is sometimes described as 2.5G, that is, a technology between the second (2G) and third (3G) generations of mobile telephony.[4] It provides moderate-speed data transfer, by using unused time division multiple access (TDMA) channels in, for example, the GSM system. GPRS is integrated into GSM Release 97 and newer releases.<br />
<br />
The GPRS core network allows 2G, 3G and WCDMA mobile networks to transmit IP packets to external networks such as the Internet. The GPRS system is an integrated part of the GSM network switching subsystem.<br />
<br />
====Services offered====<br />
<br />
GPRS extends the GSM Packet circuit switched data capabilities and makes the following services possible:<br />
<br />
* SMS messaging and broadcasting<br />
* "Always on" internet access<br />
* Multimedia messaging service (MMS)<br />
* Push to talk over cellular (PoC)<br />
* Instant messaging and presence—wireless village<br />
* Internet applications for smart devices through wireless application protocol (WAP)<br />
* Point-to-point (P2P) service: inter-networking with the Internet (IP)<br />
* Point-to-Multipoint (P2M) service: point-to-multipoint multicast and point-to-multipoint group calls<br />
<br />
If SMS over GPRS is used, an SMS transmission speed of about 30 SMS messages per minute may be achieved. This is much faster than using the ordinary SMS over GSM, whose SMS transmission speed is about 6 to 10 SMS messages per minute.<br />
<br />
====Protocols supported====<br />
<br />
GPRS supports the following protocols:<br />
<br />
* Internet protocol IP. In practice, built-in mobile browsers use IPv4 since IPv6 was not yet popular.<br />
* Point-to-point protocol (PPP). In this mode PPP is often not supported by the mobile phone operator but if the mobile is used as a modem to the connected computer, PPP is used to tunnel IP to the phone. This allows an IP address to be assigned dynamically (IPCP not DHCP) to the mobile equipment.<br />
* X.25 connections. This is typically used for applications like wireless payment terminals, although it has been removed from the standard. X.25 can still be supported over PPP, or even over IP, but doing this requires either a network based router to perform encapsulation or intelligence built in to the end-device/terminal; e.g., user equipment (UE).<br />
<br />
When TCP/IP is used, each phone can have one or more IP addresses allocated. GPRS will store and forward the IP packets to the phone even during handover. The TCP handles any packet loss (e.g. due to a radio noise induced pause).<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.75G (EDGE)==<br />
<br />
GPRS1 networks evolved to '''EDGE''' networks with the introduction of 8PSK encoding. Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), or IMT Single Carrier (IMT-SC) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in 2003—initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in the United States.<br />
<br />
EDGE is standardized by 3GPP as part of the GSM family and it is an upgrade that provides a potential three-fold increase in capacity of GSM/GPRS networks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for '''3rd Generation''', is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* '''EDGE''', a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
** EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on 3G systems. However, in practice EDGE is seldom marketed as a 3G system, but a 2.9G system. EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end.<br />
<br />
** Evolved EDGE, the latest revision, has peaks of 1 Mbit/s downstream and 400kbit/s upstream, but is not commercially used.<br />
<br />
* '''UMTS''' - The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, created and revised by the 3GPP. The family is a full revision from GSM in terms of encoding methods and hardware, although some GSM sites can be retrofitted to broadcast in the UMTS/W-CDMA format.<br />
<br />
** W-CDMA is the most common deployment, commonly operated on the 2,100 MHz band. A few others use the 850, 900 and 1,900 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
* The '''CDMA2000''' system, or IS-2000, including CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data (or EVDO), standardized by 3GPP2 (differing from the 3GPP), evolving from the original IS-95 CDMA system, is used especially in North America, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (NextG|Telstra NextG, Vodafone Hutchison Australia Vodafone), Hong Kong (SmarTone), Thailand (True move and DTAC), New Zealand (XT Mobile Network), Brazil, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel (Pelephone, , parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia (Optus and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand (Vodafone NZ), Thailand (Advanced Info Service), Dominican Republic (Orange Dominicana), Venezuela (Digitel GSM), Poland (Play (telecommunications) and Aero2 HSPA+ Internet only)<br />
<br />
For more info see Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==4G==<br />
<br />
In telecommunications, '''4G''' is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile communications standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.<br />
<br />
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: The Mobile WiMAX standard (at first in South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long term evolution (LTE) standard (in Scandinavia since 2009). It has however been debated if these first-release versions should be considered as 4G or not. See technical definition.<br />
In the U.S. Sprint Nextel has deployed Mobile WiMAX networks since 2008, and MetroPCS was the first operator to offer LTE service in 2010. USB wireless modems have been available since the start, while WiMAX smartphones have been available since 2010, and LTE smartphones since 2011. Equipment made for different continents are not always compatible, because of different frequency bands. Mobile WiMAX are currently (April 2012) not available for the European market.<br />
<br />
In Australia, Telstra launched the country's first 4G network (LTE) in 2011 and announced an "aggressive" expansion of that network in 2012.</div>

<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.5G (GPRS)==<br />
<br />
'''2.5G ("second and a half generation")''' is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet-switched domain in addition to the circuit-switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit-switched data services (HSCSD) as well. The first major step in the evolution of GSM networks to 3G occurred with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service ('''GPRS'''). CDMA2000 networks similarly evolved through the introduction of 1xRTT. The combination of these capabilities came to be known as 2.5G. GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 115 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of traffic transferred, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user actually is utilizing the capacity or is in an idle state. 1xRTT supports bi-directional (up and downlink) peak data rates up to 153.6 kbit/s, delivering an average user data throughput of 80-100 kbit/s in commercial networks.[3] It can also be used for WAP, SMS & MMS services, as well as Internet access.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.75G (EDGE)==<br />
<br />
GPRS1 networks evolved to '''EDGE''' networks with the introduction of 8PSK encoding. Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), or IMT Single Carrier (IMT-SC) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in 2003—initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in the United States.<br />
<br />
EDGE is standardized by 3GPP as part of the GSM family and it is an upgrade that provides a potential three-fold increase in capacity of GSM/GPRS networks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for '''3rd Generation''', is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* '''EDGE''', a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
** EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on 3G systems. However, in practice EDGE is seldom marketed as a 3G system, but a 2.9G system. EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end.<br />
<br />
** Evolved EDGE, the latest revision, has peaks of 1 Mbit/s downstream and 400kbit/s upstream, but is not commercially used.<br />
<br />
* '''UMTS''' - The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, created and revised by the 3GPP. The family is a full revision from GSM in terms of encoding methods and hardware, although some GSM sites can be retrofitted to broadcast in the UMTS/W-CDMA format.<br />
<br />
** W-CDMA is the most common deployment, commonly operated on the 2,100 MHz band. A few others use the 850, 900 and 1,900 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
* The '''CDMA2000''' system, or IS-2000, including CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data (or EVDO), standardized by 3GPP2 (differing from the 3GPP), evolving from the original IS-95 CDMA system, is used especially in North America, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (NextG|Telstra NextG, Vodafone Hutchison Australia Vodafone), Hong Kong (SmarTone), Thailand (True move and DTAC), New Zealand (XT Mobile Network), Brazil, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel (Pelephone, , parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia (Optus and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand (Vodafone NZ), Thailand (Advanced Info Service), Dominican Republic (Orange Dominicana), Venezuela (Digitel GSM), Poland (Play (telecommunications) and Aero2 HSPA+ Internet only)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
==4G==<br />
<br />
In telecommunications, '''4G''' is the fourth generation of cell phone mobile communications standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.<br />
<br />
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: The Mobile WiMAX standard (at first in South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long term evolution (LTE) standard (in Scandinavia since 2009). It has however been debated if these first-release versions should be considered as 4G or not. See technical definition.<br />
In the U.S. Sprint Nextel has deployed Mobile WiMAX networks since 2008, and MetroPCS was the first operator to offer LTE service in 2010. USB wireless modems have been available since the start, while WiMAX smartphones have been available since 2010, and LTE smartphones since 2011. Equipment made for different continents are not always compatible, because of different frequency bands. Mobile WiMAX are currently (April 2012) not available for the European market.<br />
<br />
In Australia, Telstra launched the country's first 4G network (LTE) in 2011 and announced an "aggressive" expansion of that network in 2012.</div>

==2G==<br />
<br />
'''2G''' (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.[1] Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted; 2G systems were significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.<br />
<br />
2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards depending on the type of multiplexing used. The main 2G standards are:<br />
<br />
*'''GSM''' (TDMA-based), originally from Europe but used in almost all countries on all six inhabited continents. Today accounts for over 80% of all subscribers around the world. Over 60 GSM operators are also using CDMA2000 in the 450 MHz frequency band (CDMA450)<br />
<br />
* IS-95 aka cdmaOne (CDMA-based, commonly referred as simply CDMA in the US), used in the Americas and parts of Asia. Today accounts for about 17% of all subscribers globally. Over a dozen CDMA operators have migrated to GSM including operators in Mexico, India, Australia and South Korea.<br />
<br />
* PDC (TDMA-based), used exclusively in Japan<br />
<br />
* iDEN (TDMA-based), proprietary network used by Nextel in the United States and Telus Mobility in Canada<br />
<br />
* IS-136 a.k.a. D-AMPS (TDMA-based, commonly referred as simply 'TDMA' in the US), was once prevalent in the Americas but most have migrated to GSM.<br />
<br />
2G services are frequently referred as Personal Communications Service, or PCS, in the United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />

Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.5G (GPRS)==<br />
<br />
'''2.5G ("second and a half generation")''' is used to describe 2G-systems that have implemented a packet-switched domain in addition to the circuit-switched domain. It does not necessarily provide faster services because bundling of timeslots is used for circuit-switched data services (HSCSD) as well. The first major step in the evolution of GSM networks to 3G occurred with the introduction of General Packet Radio Service ('''GPRS'''). CDMA2000 networks similarly evolved through the introduction of 1xRTT. The combination of these capabilities came to be known as 2.5G. GPRS could provide data rates from 56 kbit/s up to 115 kbit/s. It can be used for services such as Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) access, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and for Internet communication services such as email and World Wide Web access. GPRS data transfer is typically charged per megabyte of traffic transferred, while data communication via traditional circuit switching is billed per minute of connection time, independent of whether the user actually is utilizing the capacity or is in an idle state. 1xRTT supports bi-directional (up and downlink) peak data rates up to 153.6 kbit/s, delivering an average user data throughput of 80-100 kbit/s in commercial networks.[3] It can also be used for WAP, SMS & MMS services, as well as Internet access.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==2.75G (EDGE)==<br />
<br />
GPRS1 networks evolved to '''EDGE''' networks with the introduction of 8PSK encoding. Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Enhanced GPRS (EGPRS), or IMT Single Carrier (IMT-SC) is a backward-compatible digital mobile phone technology that allows improved data transmission rates, as an extension on top of standard GSM. EDGE was deployed on GSM networks beginning in 2003—initially by Cingular (now AT&T) in the United States.<br />
<br />
EDGE is standardized by 3GPP as part of the GSM family and it is an upgrade that provides a potential three-fold increase in capacity of GSM/GPRS networks.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for '''3rd Generation''', is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* '''EDGE''', a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
** EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on 3G systems. However, in practice EDGE is seldom marketed as a 3G system, but a 2.9G system. EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end.<br />
<br />
** Evolved EDGE, the latest revision, has peaks of 1 Mbit/s downstream and 400kbit/s upstream, but is not commercially used.<br />
<br />
* '''UMTS''' - The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, created and revised by the 3GPP. The family is a full revision from GSM in terms of encoding methods and hardware, although some GSM sites can be retrofitted to broadcast in the UMTS/W-CDMA format.<br />
<br />
** W-CDMA is the most common deployment, commonly operated on the 2,100 MHz band. A few others use the 850, 900 and 1,900 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
* The '''CDMA2000''' system, or IS-2000, including CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data (or EVDO), standardized by 3GPP2 (differing from the 3GPP), evolving from the original IS-95 CDMA system, is used especially in North America, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (NextG|Telstra NextG, Vodafone Hutchison Australia Vodafone), Hong Kong (SmarTone), Thailand (True move and DTAC), New Zealand (XT Mobile Network), Brazil, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel (Pelephone, , parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia (Optus and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand (Vodafone NZ), Thailand (Advanced Info Service), Dominican Republic (Orange Dominicana), Venezuela (Digitel GSM), Poland (Play (telecommunications) and Aero2 HSPA+ Internet only)<br />

==2G==<br />
<br />
'''2G''' (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Second generation 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSM standard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991.[1] Three primary benefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversations were digitally encrypted; 2G systems were significantly more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2G introduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.<br />
<br />
2G technologies can be divided into TDMA-based and CDMA-based standards depending on the type of multiplexing used. The main 2G standards are:<br />
<br />
*'''GSM''' (TDMA-based), originally from Europe but used in almost all countries on all six inhabited continents. Today accounts for over 80% of all subscribers around the world. Over 60 GSM operators are also using CDMA2000 in the 450 MHz frequency band (CDMA450)<br />
<br />
* IS-95 aka cdmaOne (CDMA-based, commonly referred as simply CDMA in the US), used in the Americas and parts of Asia. Today accounts for about 17% of all subscribers globally. Over a dozen CDMA operators have migrated to GSM including operators in Mexico, India, Australia and South Korea.<br />
<br />
* PDC (TDMA-based), used exclusively in Japan<br />
<br />
* iDEN (TDMA-based), proprietary network used by Nextel in the United States and Telus Mobility in Canada<br />
<br />
* IS-136 a.k.a. D-AMPS (TDMA-based, commonly referred as simply 'TDMA' in the US), was once prevalent in the Americas but most have migrated to GSM.<br />
<br />
2G services are frequently referred as Personal Communications Service, or PCS, in the United States.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service).

<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />

EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end.<br />

* '''UMTS''' - The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, created and revised by the 3GPP. The family is a full revision from GSM in terms of encoding methods and hardware, although some GSM sites can be retrofitted to broadcast in the UMTS/W-CDMA format.<br />
<br />
** W-CDMA is the most common deployment, commonly operated on the 2,100 MHz band. A few others use the 850, 900 and 1,900 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
* The '''CDMA2000''' system, or IS-2000, including CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data (or EVDO), standardized by 3GPP2 (differing from the 3GPP), evolving from the original IS-95 CDMA system, is used especially in North America, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />

==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for '''3rd Generation''', is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* '''EDGE''', a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
** EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on 3G systems.

* The CDMA2000 system, or IS-2000, including CDMA2000 1x and CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data (or EVDO), standardized by 3GPP2 (differing from the 3GPP), evolving from the original IS-95 CDMA system, is used especially in North America, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and Africa<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />

==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"<br />

|-<br />
|GSM-850 || 850 || 824.2–849.2 || 869.2–894.2 || 128–251<br />

|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for 3rd Generation, is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* EDGE, a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
** EDGE combined with the GPRS 2.5G technology is called EGPRS, and allows peak data rates in the order of 200 kbit/s, just as the original UMTS WCDMA versions, and thus formally fulfills the IMT2000 requirements on 3G systems. However, in practice EDGE is seldom marketed as a 3G system, but a 2.9G system. EDGE shows slightly better system spectral efficiency than the original UMTS and CDMA2000 systems, but it is difficult to reach much higher peak data rates due to the limited GSM spectral bandwidth of 200 kHz, and it is thus a dead end.<br />
<br />
** Evolved EDGE, the latest revision, has peaks of 1 Mbit/s downstream and 400kbit/s upstream, but is not commercially used.<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />

The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />

<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (NextG|Telstra NextG, Vodafone Hutchison Australia Vodafone), Hong Kong (SmarTone), Thailand (True move and DTAC), New Zealand (XT Mobile Network), Brazil, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel (Pelephone, , parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia (Optus and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand (Vodafone NZ), Thailand (Advanced Info Service), Dominican Republic (Orange Dominicana), Venezuela (Digitel GSM), Poland (Play (telecommunications) and Aero2 HSPA+ Internet only)<br />

<br />
<br />
===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />
<br />
<br />
==3G==<br />
<br />
3G, short for 3rd Generation, is a term used to represent the 3rd generation of mobile telecommunications technology. This is a set of standards used for mobile devices and mobile telecommunication services and networks that comply with the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications by the International Telecommunication Union.[1] 3G finds application in wireless voice telephony, mobile Internet access, Fixed Wireless Internet access, video calls and mobile TV.<br />
<br />
Several telecommunications companies market wireless mobile Internet services as 3G, indicating that the advertised service is provided over a 3G wireless network. Services advertised as 3G are required to meet IMT-2000 technical standards, including standards for reliability and speed (data transfer rates). To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system is required to provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s (about 0.2 Mbit/s). However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service. Recent 3G releases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to smartphones and mobile modems in laptop computers.<br />
<br />
The following common standards comply with the IMT2000/3G standard:<br />
<br />
* EDGE, a revision by the 3GPP organization to the older 2G GSM based transmission methods, utilizing the same switching nodes, base station sites and frequencies as GPRS, but new base station and cellphone RF circuits. It is based on the three times as efficient 8PSK modulation scheme as supplement to the original GMSK modulation scheme. EDGE is still used extensively due to its ease of upgrade from existing 2G GSM infrastructure and cell-phones.<br />
<br />
<br />
==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel, Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand (TOT (Thailand)), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or Advanced Wireless Services) in the United States (T-Mobile USA), Canada (WIND Mobile, Mobilicity, Vidéotron) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia (NextG|Telstra NextG, Vodafone Hutchison Australia Vodafone), Hong Kong (SmarTone), Thailand (True move and DTAC), New Zealand (XT Mobile Network), Brazil, Canada, the USA, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel (Pelephone, , parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia (Optus and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand (Vodafone NZ), Thailand (Advanced Info Service), Dominican Republic (Orange Dominicana), Venezuela (Digitel GSM), Poland (Play (telecommunications) and Aero2 HSPA+ Internet only)<br />

A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators. However, Thailand has also approved for some time now the use of the GSM-1900 band in an attempt to alleviate network congestion.<br />

==UMTS frequency bands==<br />
<br />
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks.<br />
<br />
===Deployments by region===<br />
<br />
{{Further2|[[List of UMTS networks]]}}<br />
In general, the various UMTS bands are deployed as follows:<br />
*Band I (W-CDMA 2100) in Europe, India, Africa, Israel ([[Cellcom (Israeli company)|Cellcom]], [[Orange Israel|Orange]], [[Pelephone]] <ref name="pocket.co.il">http://www.pocket.co.il/community/showthread.php?t=230182</ref>) Asia, Australia (all carriers' metropolitan networks), New Zealand (ITU Region 1), Thailand ([[TOT (Thailand)]]), and Brazil (part of ITU Region 2)<br />
*Band II (W-CDMA 1900) in North America and South America (ITU Region 2).<br />
*Band IV (W-CDMA 1700 or [[Advanced Wireless Services]]) in the United States ([[T-Mobile USA]]), Canada ([[WIND Mobile]], [[Mobilicity]], [[Vidéotron]]) and Chile (VTR Movil, Nextel Chile)<br />
*Band V (W-CDMA 850) in Australia ([[NextG|Telstra NextG]], [[Vodafone Hutchison Australia|Vodafone]]), Hong Kong ([[SmarTone]]), Thailand ([[True move]] and [[DTAC]]), New Zealand ([[XT Mobile Network]]), Brazil, Canada, the USA, [[Guatemala]], [[Costa Rica]], [[Dominican Republic]] (Claro),Venezuela, other parts of South America, Israel ([[Pelephone]],<ref name="pocket.co.il"/> [[Cellcom (Israel)|Cellcom]]<ref>http://www.globes.co.il/news/article.aspx?did=1000709255</ref>), parts of Asia (ITU Region 2 and ITU Region 3), Poland (Sferia)<br />
*Band VIII (W-CDMA 900) in Europe, Asia, Australia ([[Optus]] and Vodafone regional/country 3G networks), New Zealand ([[Vodafone NZ]]), Thailand ([[Advanced Info Service]]), [[Dominican Republic]] ([[Orange Dominicana]]), Venezuela ([[Digitel GSM]]), Poland ([[Play (telecommunications)|Play]] and [[Aero2]] HSPA+ Internet only<ref>http://aero2.pl/bdi.html</ref>)</div>

==GSM frequency usage around the world==<br />
<br />
===Quad-band===<br />
<br />
The term quad-band describes a device that supports four frequency bands: 850 and 1900 MHz, mostly used in Canada and the United States, and the common 900 and 1800 MHz bands.<br />

===The Americas===<br />
<br />
In North America, GSM operates on the primary mobile communication bands 850 MHz and 1,900 MHz. In Canada, GSM-1900 is the primary band used in urban areas with 850 as a backup, and GSM-850 being the primary rural band. In the United States, regulatory requirements determine which area can use which band.<br />
<br />
GSM-1900 and GSM-850 are also used in most of South and Central America, and both Ecuador and Panama use GSM-850 exclusively (Note: Since November 2008, a Panamanian operator has begun to offer GSM-1900 service). Venezuela and Brazil use GSM-850 and GSM-900/1800 mixing the European and American bands. Some countries in the Americas use GSM-900 or GSM-1800, some others use three: GSM-850/900/1900, GSM-850/1800/1900, GSM-900/1800/1900 or GSM-850/900/1800. Soon some countries will use GSM-850/900/1800/1900 MHz like the Dominican Republic, Trinidad & Tobago and Venezuela.<br />
<br />
In Brazil, the 1,900 MHz band is paired with 2,100 MHz to form the IMT-compliant 2,100 MHz band for 3G services.<br />
The result is a mixture of usage in the Americas that requires travelers to confirm that the phones they have are compatible with the band of the networks at their destinations. Frequency compatibility problems can be avoided through the use of multi-band (tri-band or, especially, quad-band) phones.<br />
<br />
===Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia===<br />
<br />
In Africa, Europe, Middle East and Asia, most of the providers use 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. GSM-900 is most widely used. Fewer operators use DCS-1800 and GSM-1800. A dual-band 900/1800 phone is required to be compatible with almost all operators. At least the GSM-900 band must be supported in order to be compatible with many operators.
