What is third generation?
Answer: In our wireless world, first generation (1-G) technology refers to analog wireless phone networks. These voice-only networks are not designed to address customers with data needs. Second generation (2-G) technology ushered in today's era of digital wireless communications. Digital wireless phones working on digital networks, can receive short e-mails*. And many of these phones, can send e-mail messages and accept downloadable ring tones and graphics from the internet. The future of wireless is Third Generation (3-G) technology. 3-G technology is the next generation of advanced wireless service that will enable high-speed mobile access to an unprecedented world of information. It will bring new functionality - streaming video, downloadable music, graphic presentations of data, video e-mail and high speed access to the Internet -- to wireless devices. Imagine that almost anything you want will be accessible anytime, anywhere, using a wireless device. I would look for the next generation of wireless technology to start coming to our area in the second half of 2002.
