An Overview of Cellular Technology

  The world is going through a digital revolution now. Most of the operations and system related to mankind are being digitalised. Among them ,a significant part is being made in communication systems. And in the history of communication systems, an important landmark was the invention of Cellular phones.

  Unlike the older mobile systems used for telecommunication ,the cellular phones have more mobility ;it's more compact and easier to handle .The tecnologies governing the mobile devices are improving at lightning speed. Just a few years ago ,your expensive ,bulky mobile phone was nothing but analogue device mostly used by business people for voice communication .Today the wireless technology is digital .The socalled 2nd generation phones(2G),which allow transmitting speech in digital format over radio path, are in existence .The technology used in 2C phones is TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access).

  After the introduction of European system GSM(Global System For Mobile Communication),the mobile phones were made to have global usage ,DCS(Digital Cellular Service),chatting was made cheaper .With WAP(Wireless Application Protocol),the internet facility was also integrated into Cellular Phones.

  The latest CDMA(Coded Division Multiple Access)Technology allows huge amounts of data ,whether it is speech or video ,to be transmitted over air .The more advanced version of this WCDMA(Wideband Coded Division Multiple Access) was adopted as the worldwide standard for 3G(3rd Generation)phones .In advanced phones like Nokia 3530,since it is incorporated with MMS(Multimedia Messaging Service) facility ,user can easily send and receive pictures ,videos ,etc.

  Bluetooth technology is another prominent evolution in this context .It enables our home appliances to be controlled in a smart way ,which can be pre-programmed ,by the handset we are keeping with us .Once they are active ,we don't have to bother about the operations of the household items like Television ,Refrigerator ,etc .since all of these will be working under the instructions from our handsets.

  With the evolution of GPRS(General Packet Radio Service)the cellular infrastructure is gradually migrating from 3G to 4G(4th generation)technology.4G services are combining high-speed mobile access with service based on IP(Internet Protocol),resulting in improved wireless communications ,delivered with greater cost effectiveness and significantly richer content.

  It has got a peak speed of more than 100Mbits in stationary mode ,with an average of 20Mbits when travelling .Network capacity of 4G will be atleast 10 times that of 3G.

  Many other facilities like T.V ,Digital Camera,MP3 player ,etc. are also being integrated into Cellular Phones .Almost all major players Nokia , Samsung ,Motorola ,Mitisubishi , Siemens ,Ericsson ,etc.-are developing mobile phones keeping the most popular uses in mind:

  Communication ,Productivity ,Information Access ,Entertainment .As a result of the convergence of these multiple devices into single unit ,the next generation cellular phone handset will be a miniature version of Personal Computers.

  The number of mobile phones users worldwide is increasing at an enormous rate .It is estimated that India alone holds a whopping amount of around 1.5 crores of Mobile Phone connections.

 But unfortunately many of them don't even know how to maneuver it correctly .As a result ,most of these fall into errors making damage to the instrument .Also other factors like humid air ,dust ,moisture ,etc .also make problem to the device.

  Consequently ,a person who knows how to rectify the faults of the machines can gain here .That is because once he procures the knowledge for servicing mobile phones ,he can obtain a decent job anywhere in the world.
