3G speed - 3G bandwidth - some specifications and standards of our 3G (3rd Generation) mobile communication technology
3G mobile Internet and cellphone technology introduction, data and general information on 3G bandwidth specifications.
On the search for details about 3G technologies and bandwidth I found little until I researched more indepth. Here brief details for those like me to think or consider a move onward into mobile remote server management / control. We need a precise idea of what bandwidth we actually get to see if that is sufficient to guarantee proper efficient connection needed to control and configure are more server.
the simple fact that the max bandwidth is to be shared among all active users within each cell sector makes the precise upload/download speed unpredictable and hence useless for high security or top quality requirements but sufficient for mobile web publishing if alternate connectivity is available when needed. a typical quality DSL has a fixed bandwidth assigned to each customer - hence the upload/download is precisely predictable and hopefully stable 24/7. In 3G there is NO such stability of bandwidth and connection quality.
Just imagine a busload of Japanese tourists arriving at your location - all of course equipped with 3G phones or PDAs, all streaming video all chatting with friends or each other ...
your professional work environment would instantly be frozen!
a few reference data about 3G below to get a more precise idea about our present 3rd generation (3G) technology.
ITU / UIT = International Telecommunication Union / Union International de Télécommunications = our international body to standardize or agree on standards and non-standards used in global telecommunications. ITU assigns or registers frequency bands and technologies to a broad sector of end users, industries and user-groups such as maritime communications, amateur radio communications, commercial radio and TV and of course also the use of cellphone and mobile communication systems.
IMT-2000 specifies a minimum data rate of 144 kilobits/second in high-mobility (vehicular) applications, 384 kilobits/second for pedestrian applications, and 2 megabits/second for indoor (stationary) applications.
The maximum speed is 2.4 Megabits per second on the download link and 153.6 kilobits per second on the upload link.
Thew total max bandwidth of 2.4 Mbits are to be shared by all users within a single cell sector. One cell normally has 3 sectors to cover the full 360 degrees area around a cell antenna tower.
God bless
