2G Spectrum

What is 2G Spectrum?

2G is ‘Second Generation’ wireless telephone technology.

After the launch of 2G, we tend to call the earlier basic service as 1G.

2G obviously more efficient on the spectrum allowing for far greater penetration. In 1G network signals are analog while it is digital in 2G.

It increases system capacity as digital voice data can be compressed and multiplexed more effectively, thus allowing more calls to be backed into the same amount of radio bandwidth.

Most importantly the digital system emit less radio power from the handsets.

Also, we all know digital means increased sound quality.

Beyond 2G there is 3G (Third Generation) Higher data speeds and 4G in developed countries.

The first Pre-Commercial 3G or Third generation was launched in Japan by NTT DoCoMo in Japan in May 2001.

In India MTNL started 3G enabled mobile service in 2008.

There is going to be auction for 3G in India soon.

With Government FDI norms relaxed, Google is intending to bid with an Indian partner.

Remembering Mahatma

I feel, on this Special Day, remembering him is must for every Indian.

He was and is inspiration for many world Top leaders and also to many Individuals. (Martin Luther King to Obama, Beatles to MJ).

I would like to present here the song “They Killed Him” from album ‘knocked Out Loaded’ first written by Kris Kristofferson.

My God, they killed him

There was a man named Mahatma Gandhi

He would not bow down he would not fight

He knew the deal was down and dirty

and nothing wrong could make it right away

But he knew his duty and the price he had to pay

Just another holy man who tried to be a friend

My God, they killed him !

Thanks TOI
