Wireless Generation Technology Rate Breakdown
Issue:
Need a quick reference for typical data rates associated with common wireless generation technologies (2G through 3G).
Product Line:
N/A (General reference / informational)
Environment:
N/A (General wireless networking reference)
Cause:
Wireless technologies are often referenced by “generation” (2G/2.5G/2.75G/3G), but the associated technology name and typical throughput may not be obvious without a quick lookup.
Resolution:
Use the following rate breakdown as a reference:
- 2G — GSM (CSD): 9.6 kbits/s
- 2.5G — GPRS: 115 kbits/s
- 2.75G — EDGE: 384 kbits/s
- 3G — UMTS:
- Rural: 114 kbits/s
- Urban: 384 kbits/s
- Building: 2 Mbits/s
