ABSTRACT:
3G is the third generation mobile technology for mobile service operators to offer integrated data and
voice service over mobile netwok. It is an International Telecommunication Union(ITU) standard
under the International Mobile Telecommunication Mobile Programme,IMT-2000. This is the
technology of choice for upgrading existing mobile telephone service to expand capacity and add
enhanced services. 3G offers a vertically integrated up-down service-provider approach to delivering
wireless internet access and operate using a license spectrum with a data rate of from 384 Kbps upto
2Mbps.
WiFi is the popular name for the Wireless Ethernet 802.11b Standard for WLANs. It is one of the
succession of Ethernet standard approved by IEEE for to support higher capacity LANs. WiFi LANs
operate using unlicensed spectrum in the 2.4GHz.band. Typically the WLANs are implemented as
part of a private network. The base station equipment is owned & operated by the end user. WLANs
are principally focused on supporting data communication. However it is possible to support voice
telephony service over WLANs. WiFi access can emerge in a decentralized, bottom up fashion.
We compare and constrasts 3G and WiFi for delivering broadband Wireless Internet Access
services.The former, 3G refers to the technology that offer integrated data and voice service over
mobile networks. The later WiFi refers to Wireless Ethernet Technology which support wireless
LANs. Although the two technologies reflect fundamentally different service,industry and
architectural design goals,origins and philosophies, each has recently attracted a lot of attention as
candidates for providing broadband Wireless access to Internet.
