Let's know about 3G, 3.5G and 3.9G in detail

Rajiur Rahman Although 4G or LTE has been launched in the developed countries of the world, 3G has just started its journey in our country. Even though Teletalk introduced this service a year ago, it failed to attract common customers, on the other hand, Teletalk's 3G was supposed to spread across the country this year, but it did not happen. On the other hand, as soon as Grameenphone, Robi and Airtel got the license to provide 3G services, this time the people of the country are a little nervous about 3G. However, Robi's 3.5G, Grameenphone's 3.9G offers have confused them enough before they hit the market.

3G in Bengali means third generation internet service. The speed of which is higher than the current EDGE.

3.5G is HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) high speed downlink packet access, through which 7.2 Mbit data per second is possible. And HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) provides an upload speed of 5.8 mbit per second through high speed uplink packet access.

3.7G is HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) high speed packet access through which 21 to 28 mbit speed can be obtained per second.

Grameenphone is going to launch 3.9G HSPA+ technology in Bangladesh. 3.9G is Pre-4G which can get speed up to 168mbit per second in HSPA+(Evolved High Speed Packet Access) technology. No more, to go further you have to migrate to 4G which is not yet launched in Bangladesh.

If you are in a 3G network area, your mobile will display 3G, if you are in a 3.5G or 3.7G network area, your mobile will display H, and if you are in a 3.8G or 3.9G network area, your mobile will display H+. .

Now let's see What benefits are we going to get when 3G is launched:

একই সাথে ভিডিও এবং অডিও কল করতে পারা যাবে। ভয়েস কোয়ালিটি পরিষ্কার শোনা যাবে। যে জিনিসটির জন্য 3G’র এতো সুনাম সেই দ্রুত গতির ইন্টারনেট ব্যবহার করতে পারবেন। অতি দ্রুত ভিডিও, অডিও, ভালো মানের ছবি ডাউনলোড কিংবা আপলোড করে বন্ধু বান্ধবদের সাথে শেয়ার করতে পারবেন। আপনার মূল্যবান সময় বাঁচিয়ে অতি দ্রুত ছবি, ফাইলস, ইমেইল করতে পারবেন। আপনি চলন্ত অবস্থাতেই বিভিন্ন লাইভ টিভি চ্যানেল দেখতে পারবেন।

What does it take to have a 3G network?

A 64k SIM which supports 3G network. Even if not, no problem because Grameenphone, Robi, Airtel have announced that they are not keeping any cost to upgrade to 3G. Of course there are few plugins that support 3G network. The speed of 3G will depend on the user and which package you subscribe to.
