Phones / Differences Between GSM Network And CDMA Network. by helpinghands(m): 4:53pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
You should know that each successor to the mobile network technology has one numeric number followed by the alphabet ‘G’. This is of the form ‘vG’. So, 2G means 2nd generation, 3G means 3rd generation, 4G means 4th generation and so on. Each generation is more advanced than the previous standard. Which is obvious, isn’t it? Currently, 4G is the latest standard but many big organizations have already started their work on the upcoming 5G wireless technology. GSM Network vs. CDMA Network GSM and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) are the two most popular radio standards used in the mobile world. Both technologies offer similar features but CDMA is more popular in the U.S. than the rest of the world. Most of the European and Asian countries use GSM networks. Some people might tell you that CDMA is better than the GSM or vice-versa but it is not true. U.S. operators moved to the CDMA technology when GSM technology was in a nascent stage but now that GSM technology has caught up with CDMA, the U.S. operators don’t feel the need to shift to GSM technologies. Most of the telecom companies in the rest of the world utilize the GSM technology for rolling out their networks, and they also don’t feel the need to migrate to CDMA technology. So, when you go out in the market for buying a new phone, you will see that the available GSM phone models are much more in number than the CDMA models. You know the reason behind this. Now, let’s discuss each generation of network in detail along with its associated network standards: 1. 2G – 2G is the first digital mobile network technology. 1G was analog technology and was very inefficient. 2G brought support for SMS and mobile internet. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) uses GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) technology for internet access, while the CDMA technology uses RTT (Radio Transmission Technology) for providing 2G internet access. 2. 3G – It is the first mobile network technology to provide access to high-speed broadband like internet. Live video streaming, video chatting was first made possible by the 3G network technologies. GSM networks use WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) or UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service), HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), and HSPA+ technologies for rolling out 3G networks. The CDMA networks on the other hand, use EvDO (Evolution-Data Optimized) technology for deploying 3G networks. 3. 4G – It is the latest generation of mobile wireless technology and offers the best data speed. It is made for providing mobile broadband access and can be used for data intensive applications like watching high-definition TV on mobile, cloud computing etc. 4G network is currently deployed using LTE (Long Term Evolution) and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) technologies. As per the ITU-R (International Telecommunication Union-Radio Communication Sector), any network having a peak download rate of 100 Mbps for high mobility and up to 1 Gbps for stationary wireless access will be termed as a 4G network. LTE, LTE-A (LTE Advanced), WiMAX Rel 1, and WiMAX Rel 2 are some of the popular 4G network standards. 4G networks are based on neither GSM nor CDMA technology, but are instead based on OFDMA, SC-FDMA That’s why the basic 4G networks can’t make voice calls and a new standard called VoLTEis being deployed to make that possible. The following table lists down the speed ratings of each of these network technologies. Differences Between 2G 3G 4G HSPA LTE EVDO GPRS EDGE Generation Standard Radio Maximum Theoretical Download Speed Maximum Theoretical Upload Speed 2G GPRS GSM Up to 80 Kbps (Class 10) Up to 20 Kbps 2G EDGE GSM Up to 236.8 Kbps Up to 59.2 Kbps 2G 1xRTT CDMA Up to 0.3 Mb Up to 0.15 Mbps 3G UMTS (WCDMA) GSM Up to 384 Kbps Up to 384 Kbps 3G HSPA GSM Upto 14.4 Mbps Up to 5.76 Mbps 3G HSPA+ GSM Upto 42 Mbps Up to 11.5 Mbps 3G EvDO Rev. A CDMA Up to 3.1 Mbps Up to 1.8 Mbp 3G EvDO Rev. B CDMA Up to 4.9xN MbpsN: number 1.25 MHz carriers Up to 1.8xN Mbps 4G LTE OFDMA Up to 100 Mbps (Cat3) Up to 50 Mbps (Cat4) 4G LTE-A OFDMA, SC-FDMA Up to 1 Gbps Up to 500 Mbps 4G WiMAX Rel. 1 OFDMA Up to 30-40 Mbps Up to 17 Mbps 4G WiMAX Rel. 2 OFDMA Up to 1 Gbps Up to 376 Mbps Differences between byte and bits All of the above-mentioned speeds are theoretical values derived for different standards for ideal scenarios. Nothing is ideal in real world. Furthermore, connection throttling by the operator, network congestion, and quality of service also affect the actual speed that the user gets. ‘B’ is not the same as ‘b’ This is a common mistake made by many non-technical people while mentioning the speed of their internet connection. For network configurations, ‘B’ is known as byte and ‘b’ is known as bit. 1 byte (B) = 8 bits (b) ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and modem manufacturers specify the speed in bps (bits/second), whereas the internet download managers and other file sharing programs denote the speed in Bps (bytes/sec). For S.I. system: 1 Mega = 1,000,000 But for Windows computer system (binary): 1 mega = 2^20= 1,048,576. That’s why: A download speed of 1 Mbps = 1024 Kbps = (1024/ KBps = 128 KBps Now, that you know what to expect from each network technology, there is one more thing that should be kept in mind while selecting a phone for international roaming. Different frequency bands are used for deploying these mobile networks across different parts of the world. So, a 4G phone launched for the U.S. market might not be able to latch onto other countries 4G networks. That’s why it is always wise to take a look at the frequencies supported by the phone and your network operator before making a buying decision.

Phones / Short USSD Code To Buy Airtime From Any Nigerian Bank. by helpinghands(m): 6:19pm On Nov 09, 2016 |
Imagine when you are in the middle an important call and your airtime got finished, you have a little fraction in your bank account but you are too far from the ATM machine and you are also scared of borrowing airtime from your network provider because of the high return rate of 15%. Then here is the best option for you. Use USSD codes to buy airtime from your banks. Why this Option? USSD airtime recharge option can come in very handy when traveling, in a new location and/or when in need of urgent top-up for either data or voice calls. This is far better than the regular quickteller option that requires an internet connection or you, going to the ATM centers to top-up your airtime. Another amazing thing about using the USSD method for airtime top-us is that, you can do this with a feature phone (eg. Nokia touch) and from the comfort of your home. It is completely free, reliable and secured as it is linked to the mobile phone number that your bank account is linked to. The USSD Codes Here are the various USSD codes to use for recharging your mobile lines from your bank account. For Diamond Bank: Dial *302*amount# For MTN Diamond Y’ello Account: Dial *710*555*phone no*amount*pin# For Access bank: Dial *901* amount# For Stanbic IBTC Bank: Dial *909*amount# For GTBank: Dial *737*amount# For Eco Bank: Dial *326*amount# For FirstBank: Dial*894*amount# For Fidelity Bank: Dial *770*amount# For FCMB: Dial *389*214*amount# For Sky bank: Dial *389*076*1*amount# For Heritage bank: Dial *322*030*amount# For keystone Bank: Dial *322*082*amount# For Sterling Bank: Dial *822*amount# For UBA: Dial *389*033*1*amount# For Zenith Bank: Dial *966*amount# For Unity bank: Dial *322*215*amount# Mtn Nigeria introduced the use of *904*amount# for registered user.( Have tried with First Bank, don’t know of other banks) This can also be used This service can be used to buy airtime for yourself and friends alike. Using the First Bank format as sample for this section, you will need follow the tips below. When Recharging Your own Line If you run out of airtime or needs buy a recharge card for your phone (no internet access is required for it), simply dial the USSD code *894*Amount# using the registered phone number. Your account will be credited with the amount entered. for example, dialing *894*200# will credit your phone with NGN200 airtime. When Recharging Your Friends or Family’s Lines To send recharge card to someone from your First Bank account using this service, you will need enter the USSD code, amount and the person’s phone number. Example, dial *894*Amount*Phone number# to buy a recharge card for someone else. for example, dialing *894*200*080000000# will send NGN200 airtime to 080000000 This Service is available to all network in Nigeria.
