3G Providing Uninterrupted Mobile Broadband

Posted on November, Monday 21, 2011 By itVAR News Network

3G is scoring over WiMax on account of providing better agility; ability and promise to deliver better data based communication solutions for the end customers.

As we live in a data era where, global demand for broadband is growing significantly and continues to outpace availability. Increasingly as seen in different geographies of the globe, the communication services are moving toward ubiquitous access as the line between fixed and mobile usage demystifies. And it is 3G technology which is providing the much needed mobile broadband for the end user as well as the enterprise customers.
 
Driving the need for better broadband services, strong, sustained consumer demand for mobile voice services has created an enormously successful global ecosystem for 3G technology adoption, with a number of globally present operators providing services and vendors delivering products. 

With significant scale and maturity, the 3G industry is well-positioned to deliver mobile broadband to an enormous installed base of customers, while reaching out to new ones. 3G’s growing scale is leading to more-affordable, more-capable devices across all market segments. 

In light of the growing yet pervasive global coverage of 3G, increases the likelihood that 3G devices and communication services will maintain an advantage over their rival tech WiMAX. In one simple analogy experts believe that network expenses are most likely dominated by the number of cell sites that an operator has, and simulation results show that 3G should require fewer sites than WiMAX. Hence, most of the communications proponents believe in the power of 3G communication technology.

With greater capability, agility, resiliency, capacity and coverage in equivalent scenarios, overall 3G network costs again show an advantage. The versatility of 3G systems to support all IP-based applications with delivery of robust quality of service is enabling global and national operators to bring to the market a wide range of innovative data services at the doorsteps of the end customers.

As most of the 3G systems perform better than their WiMAX counters today, it is most likely that they will continue to do so as their evolutions introduce class-leading OFDMA and MIMO solutions in the regional as well as international markets.
