As I have mentioned on the Mobile Telecommunication Terms Part I, we are living in the mobile telecommunication era. It is a must that we know about mobile telecommunication terms these days so we can utilize the mobile technology into optimum. Indeed, to use our smart phone and Tablet PC into optimum for our needs. This knowledge is also needed so we can choose the right mobile gadgets based on our needs.
I have share several mobile telecommunication terms before but still, there are more of the terms that need to be known for sake of mobile telecommunication optimum utilizing. Here, on this telecommunication blog, I share several more of mobile telecommunication terms:
Third and Half Generation (3.5G)
3.5G refers to mobile telecommunication's transition technology between 3G and 4G technology. 3.5G technology offers up-to 14 Mbps download speed and up-to 5.8 Mbps upload speed. 3.5G networks utilizes HSPA+ (high-speed packet access) technology.
Fourth Generation (4G)
4G refers to the fourth generation of mobile telecommunication technology which also known as mobile broadband technology. 4G is the official successor of 3G technology. 4G networks offers the IP Based secure and complete high-speed mobile networks. It is claimed that 4G offers the access speed as same as on Local Area Network (LAN) which offers 100 Mbps access speed. There are two models of 4G which are LTE (as 3G successor) and WiMAX (as WiFi successor).
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS is a technology that used to deliver data service via mobile telecommunication networks. GPRS is a 2.5G mobile telecommunication technology. GPRS offers various types of data services such as Email, MMS, internet browsing. GPRS supports up-to 115 kbps access speed.
Enhanced Data for Global Evolution (EDGE)
EDGE is the developed form of mobile telecommunication technology GSM/GPRS. EDGE offers 3 times access speed if compare with GPRS networks. EDGE's access speed is up-to 236 Kbps. EDGE offers various types of data services that similar as like on GPRS such as Email, MMS, and internet browsing.
High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA)
HSPA is the next step on mobile telecommunication technology after the GPRS and EDGE. HSPA is a mobile telecommunication technology that created by combining many mobile technology standard. HSPA offers broader and more speed for mobile telecommunication networks. Based on the speed, HSPA is divided into two standard which are HSPA and HSUPA.
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX)
WiMax is advanced mode of Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) technology. If WiFi only cover around 100m radius, WiMAX can cover around 8 kilometers radius. So far, WiMAX has supports up-to 128 Mbps download speed and 56 Mbps upload speed.
Internet Protocol Address (IP Address)
IP Address refers to number that identify a web site or server on the IP networks. IP Address use numbers (not the fonts) as identification. As example, 66.102.7.104 is the IP Address of Google web site.
