Introduction
 The 3G network is the third generation of mobile
networking and telecommunications. It features a wider
range of services and advances network capacity over the
previous 2G network. The 3G network also increases the
rate of information transfer known as spectral efficiency.
 Wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to
provide wireless high-speed Internet and network
connections. The Wi-Fi Alliance, the organization that
owns the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) term specifically
defines Wi-Fi as any "wireless local area network”
What is 3G?
• 3G is a technology for mobile service providers.

• It is the third generation of wireless mobile
telecommunications technology.
• It is the upgrade for 2G & 2.5G GPRS networks, for faster
internet speed.
• 3G telecommunication networks support services that
provide an information transfer rate of at least 0.2Mbit/s.
What is Wi-Fi?
 WiFi is the popular name for the wireless Ethernet 802.11b
standard for WLANs.
 Operate using unlicensed spectrum in the 2.4 GHz band.
 The current generation of WLANs supports upto 11Mbps,
data rates within 300 feet of the base station.
 WLAN technology was not designed to support high-speed
hand – off associated with users moving between base station
coverage areas.
How 3G works..
The 3G network might be divided up in hierarchical fashion:
 Macro cell - the area of largest coverage, e.g., an entire city.
 Micro cell - the area of intermediate coverage, e.g., a city centre.
 Pico cell - the area of smallest coverage, e.g., a "hot spot" in a hotel.
 Why is there this sub-division of regions? It is because smaller regions

(shorter ranges) allow higher user density and faster transmission rates.
This is why they are called "hot spots".
How Wi-Fi Technology works.
 The wireless adapter of a computer translates data into

radio signals and transmits the signals over an antenna.
The transmitting antenna is generally connected to a DSL
(Digital Subscriber Line) or a LAN-based Internet
connection.
 The Wi-Fi signals have a range of about 120 feet indoors
and 300 feet outdoors. With an increase in the distance
between the user and the signal, the connection speed
decreases. Wi-Fi connections allow you to get rid of the
clutter of wires.
 The use of Wi-Fi technology for Internet access is on the
rise. Companies and households have begun opting for
wireless Internet access.
Difference between 3G & Wi-Fi..
 Current business models/deployment
are different.
 As noted above 3G represents an extension of the
mobile service provider model. This is the technology
of choice for upgrading existing mobile telephone
services to expand capacity and add enhanced services.
 In contrast, Wi-Fi comes out of the data
communications industry (LANs) which is a by-
product of the computer industry. The basic business
model is one of equipment makers who sell boxes to
consumers. The services provided by the equipment are
free to the equipment owners.
Applications Using 3G
Business services Finance services
 Mobile office  Virtual banking
 Narrowcast business TV  On-line billing
 Virtual workgroups  Universal USIM and
credit card
 Expertise on tap
Entertainment
 Audio on demand
 Games
 Video clips
 Virtual sightseeing
Applications Using Wi-Fi
 Home-based WiFi enabled device helps you to
connect your PC, game console or laptop. If 2 or 3
members of your family have their own laptops they
would be able to share their data, files and photos.
 There are no boundaries if you are using WiFi, you
move from one room to another or even away from
home you have the liberty to access internet within
the range of radial distance.
