A lot of the commercially available cell phones have the features that are required for the 3G network today. Mainly, a cell phone needs to have a camera and a screen to send and receive video also an internet browser is required to explore the world wide web.
As requirements of increasing speed, capacity as well as reliability of data communications in mobile device network, the third generation ā3Gā wireless technology has been planned, designed and deployed over the world. This technology provides more speed, higher frequency and larger bandwidth compared to the 2G technology. 3G network has enough capacity to support 3G applications including rich multimedia content, fast reliable connectivity and mobility services. Examples of these services are customized infotainment, multimedia messaging services, mobile intranet/extranet access, mobile internet access, location-based services and rich voice, etc.
