3G stands for 3rd Generation and is the next generation of technology which has brought a revolution in the telecommunication industry. Apart from increasing the speed of communication, the objective of this technology is to provide various value added services like video calling, live streaming, mobile internet access, IPTV, etc on the mobile phones. These services are possible because the 3G spectrum provides the necessary bandwidth. Technically 3G is a network protocol which refers to the generations of mobile phones and telecommunications equipments which are compatible with the IMT-2000 standards stated by ITU. The basic requirements for compiling to IMT-2000 standards is that the technology should provide peak data rates of atleast 200 kbps. 3G isn’t just any high speed network but a protocol which has its own standards defined under IMT-2000 by ITU.
