MODERN TELECOM TELEPHONE  5.1 Mobile telephone 5.2 Landlines
Telephone On landlines, intra-circle calls are considered local calls while inter-circle are considered long distance calls. Currently Government is working to integrate the whole country in one telecom circle. For long distance calls, the area code prefixed with a zero is dialed first which is then followed by the number (i.e. To call  Delhi , 011 would be dialed first followed by the phone number). For international calls, "00" must be dialed first followed by the  country code ,  area code  and local  phone number . The country code for India is 91.
Telephone Subscribers (Wireless and Landline):  787.28 million (Oct 2010) Land Lines:  35.09 million (Oct 2010) Cell phones:  752.19 million (Oct 2010) Monthly Cell phone Addition:  22.62 million (Dec 2010)  Teledensity:  66.16% (Dec 2010)  Projected Teledensity:  1 billion, 84% of population by 2012.

Internet Low Speed Broadband (256 kbit/s - 2 mbit/s) The current definition of Broadband in India is speeds of 256 kbit/s. TRAI on July 2009 has recommended raising this limit to 2 Mbit/s. [43]
High Speed Broadband (over 2 Mbit/s) Airtel  has launched plans up to 16 Mbit/s on ADSL2+ enabled lines and is piloting new 30 Mbit/s and 50 Mbit/s plans in limited areas. [44] Beam Telecom  offers plans up to 6 Mbit/s for home users and has 20 Mbit/s plans available for power users in only Hyderabad city. [45] BSNL  offers ADSL up to 8 Mbit/s in many cities.It also started offering FTTH speeds ranging from 256Kbps to 100Mbps. [46] Hayai Broadband  will offer FTTH services up to 100 Mbit/s, with an Internal network speed of 1 Gbit/s. Honesty Net Solutions  offers Broadband over Cable at up to 4 Mbit/s. MTNL  offers VDSL at speeds up to 20 Mbit/s in selected areas  [47]

4G Fourth-Generation  Cellular Communication System
Agenda Introduction  Evolution of Data Standards  WiMAX The Road Ahead  Closing Thoughts
4G Definition 4G is not one defined technology or standard, but rather a collection of technologies and protocols aimed at creating fully packet-switched networks optimized for data. 4G networks are  projected to provide speeds of  100 Mbps  while moving and  1 Gbps  while stationary.  Fourth Generation Cellular Communication (4G)
Evolution of Data Standards The radio telephone system preceded modern cellular mobile telephony technology (1G). The radio telephone system contained one central antenna tower per region. The central antenna required radio phones to have a powerful transmitter, capable of transmitting up to 50 miles. The number of radio telephones per region was limited by the number of available channels.  Unlike closed radio systems, radio telephones were connected to the public telephone network and were typically mounted in cars, trucks, and briefcases.  Zero Generation Mobile Systems (0G)
Evolution of Data Standards The 1G cellular telephone system divided cities into small cells. This division allowed extensive frequency reuse across a city, allowing millions to use cell phones simultaneously.  1G cell phone technology encompassed analog standards introduced in the 1980s and continued until replaced by 2G digital cell phones. First Generation Cellular Communication (1G)
Evolution of Data Standards Second Generation Cellular Communication (2G)  2G digital technologies can be divided into two standards:  TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access)   -   GSM:  Originally from Europe but used worldwide    - iDEN:  Proprietary network used by Nextel in the US   - PDC:  Used exclusively in Japan   CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)   -   IS-95:  Commonly referred to as CDMA and used in the Americas and parts of Asia
Evolution of Data Standards Third Generation Cellular Communication (3G)  3G networks provide the ability to transfer voice data and non-voice data (music downloads, emails and instant messaging) over the same network simultaneously. 3G networks deliver broadband capacity and support greater numbers of voice and data customers at lower incremental costs than 2G. Standards:    -  W-CDMA : Wideband Code Division Multiple Access   -  EVDO :  Evolution-Data Optimized
3G vs. 4G Less Complexity, Faster Transmission Unlike the 3G networks which are a combination of circuit switched and packet switched networks, 4G will be based on packet switching only. This will allow low-latency data transmission. 3G Leading U.S. Carrier 3G EVDO network currently averages 400 to 700 Kbps with peak rates up to 2 Mbps. 4G International Carrier is testing 4G communication at 100 Mbps while moving, and 1 Gbps while stationary.
3G vs. 4G
4G Possibilities Enhanced Mobile Gaming  Experience enhanced wireless capabilities that deliver mobile gaming interaction with latency less than five milliseconds.  Play online multiplayer games while traveling at high speeds or sitting outside.
4G Possibilities Personal Media Repository Create a personal media repository that can be accessed from home and on the road to view photos, watch movies and listen to your personal music collection.  4G 3G 2G 1G 0G
4G Possibilities Virtual  Presence  Use hologram-generating virtual reality programs that provide an artificial presence just about anywhere. For example, decide if you want to personally respond when someone rings your front door while you are away from home.  4G 3G 2G 1G 0G
4G Possibilities Broadband Access in Remote Locations  4G networks will provide a wireless alternative for broadband access to residential and business customers.  In addition, 4G will provide the first opportunity for broadband access in remote locations without an infrastructure to support cable or DSL access.   4G 3G 2G 1G 0G
WiMAX World Interoperability for Microwave Access There are two main applications of WiMAX:  Fixed WiMAX  (IEEE 802.16-2004)  - Fixed WiMAX applications are point-to-multipoint enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL for homes and businesses. Mobile WiMAX  (IEEE 802.16e-2005) - Mobile WiMAX offers the full mobility of cellular networks at true broadband speeds.
WiMAX Adoption Fixed WiMAX Adoption  Fixed WiMAX is currently available however the adoption rate is impacted by the high cost of equipment in comparison to cable or DSL.  Fixed WiMAX provides greater benefits for developing countries that do not already have physical infrastructure to support wired broadband access.  Mobile WiMAX Adoption  Mobile WiMAX equipment will arrive to carriers toward the end of 2007. However, mobile equipment testing typically takes between 12 to 18 months before the equipment is introduced to the consumer market.
WiMAX Fixed WiMAX Architecture
WiMAX Mobile WiMAX Architecture
4G Access Options Embed 4G technology into all end-user devices Develop mobile personal gateways  Develop external interfaces with 4G peripherals
Embedded Laptop Partnerships
Potential 4G Peripherals  Smaller footprint peripherals have a greater potential to support multiple devices .  PCMCIA Express Card USB Compact Flash Secure Digital
Closing Thoughts The lack of clarity and overuse of the term 4G could prove its biggest opportunity, or could spell its premature demise.  As carriers begin to rollout 3G the term 4G may be rendered meaningless by lack of definition.  However, the rollout of mobile broadband will have a profound impact on the way we work and live.

    WiMAX Adoption FixedWiMAX Adoption Fixed WiMAX is currently available however the adoption rate is impacted by the high cost of equipment in comparison to cable or DSL. Fixed WiMAX provides greater benefits for developing countries that do not already have physical infrastructure to support wired broadband access. Mobile WiMAX Adoption Mobile WiMAX equipment will arrive to carriers toward the end of 2007. However, mobile equipment testing typically takes between 12 to 18 months before the equipment is introduced to the consumer market.
