 INTRODUCTION
• The 3G network is the 3rd 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.
• Wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide
wireless high-speed internet &network connection. The Wi-Fi Alliance, the
organisation that owns the Wi-Fi(registered trademark) term specifically
defines Wi-Fi as any “Wireless Local Area Network”.
 EVALUATION OF 3G
• Cellular mobile tele communications networks are being upgraded to use
3G technologies from1999 to 2010.
• Japan and South Korea were the first countries to successfully launch this
network. The Japanese company FOMA launched in May 2001 and South
Korea’s SK Telecom launched in January 2002.
• 3G is made possible by two complementary technologies HSDPA and
HSUPA.
 WHAT IS 3G?
• 3G is a technology for mobile technology provider.
• To support the service, mobile operators maintain a network of
interconnected and overlapping mobile base stations that hand-off
customers as those customers move among adjacent cells.
• 3G Technologies allow mobile operator’s to offer more service
options to their users, including mobile broadband.
• 3G technologies support data rates from 384Kbps up to 2Mbps.
 WHAT IS WI-FI?
Wi-Fi stands for “Wireless Fidelity”.
It is the popular name for wireless Ethernet 802.11b
standards for WLANS.
Wi-Fi allows collection of PC’s, peripherals (printers,
access servers etc.) to share resources.
It is mostly used in universities, companies, etc.
Operate using unlicensed spectrum in the 2.4 GHz band.
 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 “hotspot” in a hotel.
 TDMA VS CDMA
• For 3G technology there are basically two competing technologies to achieve multiple
accesses: TDMA and CDMA.
• TDMA is time division multiple access.it works by dividing a single radio frequency into
many small time slot. Each caller is assigned a specific time slot for transmission.
• CDMA is code division multiple access. CDMA works by giving each user a unique code.
The signal from all the users can be spread over a wide frequency band,. The transmitting
frequency for any one user is not fixed but is allowed to vary within the limits of the
band.
CIRCUIT SWITCHING VS. PACKET SWITCHING
• Traditional connections for voice communications require a physical path connecting the users at the two ends
of the line, and that path stays open until the conversation ends. This method of connecting a transmitter and
receiver by giving them exclusive access to a direct connection is called circuit switching.
• Most modern networking technology is rapidly different from this traditional model because it uses packet data.
Packet data is a information which is:
1. Given a destination address,
2.Mixed with other data from other sources,
3. Transmitted over a line with all the other data,
4. Reconstituted at the other end.
• Packet-switched networks chop the telephone conversation into discrete “Packet” of data like pieces in a jigsaw
puzzle, and those pieces are reassembled to recreate the original conversation. Packet data was originally
developed as the technology behind the internet.
 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 Subscribe Line) or a LAN-based internet
connection.
• The Wi-Fi signals have arrange 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 allows you to get rid of the
clutter of wires.
• The use of WIFI technology for internet access is on
rise. Companies and Households have begun opting for
wireless internet access.
 3G & WI-FI : SIMILARITIES
Both are Wireless technology.
Both facilitates mobility.
Both are access technologies.
Both offers broadband data
services.
 HOW BOTH ARE DIFFERENT ?
Current business models/deployment are different
Spectrum policy and management
Status of technology development different
o Development status
o Embedded support for services
o Standardization
o Service/business model
SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR INDUSTRY
STRUCTUE AND PUBLIC POLICY:-
Wi-Fi good for competition.
Wi-Fi and 3G can complement each other for a mobile provider.
Spectrum policy is key.
Success of Wi-Fi is potentially good for multimedia content
 APPLICATIONS USING 3G
Business services
• Mobile office
• Narrowcast business TV
• Virtual workgroup
Entertainment
• Audio on demand
• Games
• Video clips
Finance services
• Virtual Banking
• On-line billing
 APPLICATIONS USING WI-FI
Home-based Wi-Fi 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 ae no boundaries if you are using Wi-Fi, 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.
 CONCLUSION
This presentation offers a qualitative comparison of two wireless
technology that could be viewed simultaneously as substitute and/or
complementary paths for evolving or broadband wireless access.
The goals of the analysis is to explore two divergent world views for the
future of wireless access and to speculate on the likely success and
possible interaction between the two technologies in the future.
