Smartphones are inherent in human daily activities today. Smartphones seem to have become a basic need that must be owned by all. However, the role of smartphones will be reduced without the presence of cellular networks and the internet. Meanwhile, to access the internet, a credible cellular network service is needed. Currently, technological developments have ushered in human civilization to the era of 5G cellular networks. One of the advantages brought by this fifth generation cellular technology is the download speed which is claimed to reach 20 Gbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 Myths and Facts About 5G Networks Long before that, the development of cellular network technology began with a simpler generation, namely 1G. The journey is quite long. It took about 40 years to perfect cellular network technology from 1G to 5G generation. So how is the evolution of 1G to 5G cellular networks going? In full, the following is the explanation, as compiled by KompasTekno from Cengn, Friday (28\/5\/2021).
1G This early generation network was first commercialized by a Japanese company, Nippon Telegram and Telephone (NTT) in 1979. Initially, this cellular network was only intended for the people of the city of Tokyo. Five years later, NTT finally managed to distribute 1G evenly in all cities in Japan. Not only in Japan, 1G was also introduced in America in early March 1983 by the Ameritech company. 1G networks were then distributed in Canada in the mid-1980s and in the UK in 1985. In the 1980s, 1G networks were accessible with Motorola DynaTAC phones. The phone, dubbed The Brick, weighs about 1 kg, and it takes almost 10 hours to fully charge the phone. Although classified as a revolutionary technology at the time, 1G is still far from perfect. As the first generation of cellular networks, 1G does not escape many shortcomings. One of them is the low quality. The 1G network can only be used to perform one simple task, namely to make voice calls.
Telkomsel Officially Holds 5G, What’s the Fate of the 4G Network? 1G operates using an analog technology called Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS). This technology utilizes Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) modulation which can produce a maximum speed of 2.4 Kbps. However, because it is still not perfect, it is not uncommon for annoying noises to occur during the phone process. Not only that, the network coverage is still not wide, and the security system is still not encrypted. This allows other users to intercept the contents of telephone conversations using a radio scanner. As cellular networks have been perfected, 1G has now been abandoned. However, Russia is known to be the only country that still operates a 1G cellular network to date.
2G Despite the many drawbacks of 1G, the pioneer network has survived for a long time. Until 1991, where the 2G network was finally commercialized for the first time in Finland. The network that has relied on Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology is also equipped with various improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
