An explanation of 2G, 3G and 4G

Mobile Broadband

Mobile Broadband is a wireless data communication technology that utilizes lower frequency radio spectrum (cell networks) and can thus deliver internet access to almost anywhere. The service is usually accessed through a mobile phone, USB Modem / Dongle (pictured on the right) or PCMCIA card.

Mobile services are typically delivered over a wide range of radio frequency spectrum bands (e.g. 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.6GHz etc.), most of which can also reach indoors; albeit only to a limited degree. As a basic rule, lower spectrum bands (e.g. 900MHz) can reach further (outdoors) with their
signals than higher ones (e.g. 1800MHz). Speeds range from 384Kbps (Kilobits per second) to 14Mbps+ (Megabits per second) downstream via the most common High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology and will go much faster with LTE in the future (100Mbps+).

To better explain this we've listed the best possible theoretical download speeds by mobile standard below (oldest first): Mobile Data Communications Standards and Speeds:

* Basic GSM (2G) – 14.4Kbps Download
* GPRS (2G) - 48Kbps Download
* EDGE (2G) - 236Kbps Download

* UMTS (3G / IMT-2000) - 384Kbps Download [64Kbps upstream]
* HSPA (3G / IMT-2000) - 14.4Mbps Download [5.8Mbps upload]
* HSPA+ (3G / IMT-2000) - 84Mbps Download [22Mbps upload]
* WiMAX 802.16e (3G / IMT-2000) - 128Mbps Download [56Mbps upload]

Frequency:
500–800MHz, 2.3GHz, 2.5-2.6GHz, 3.3-3.5GHz

* LTE (3G / IMT-2000) - 100Mbps Download [50Mbps upload]

Frequency:
800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.6GHz

* WiMAX2 802.16m (4G / IMT-Advanced) - 1Gbps Download

Frequency:
2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, 2.6GHz (UK) or 3.5GHz

* LTE-Advanced (4G / IMT-Advanced) - 1Gbps Download

Frequency:
800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.6GHz
