What is 3G technology?
The whole world is talking about 3G technology and here in India we have heard and
read a lot about the 3G auction on digital and print media.But what is 3G technology? 3G
is said to be the next generation of mobile communications system. But what does this
mean for the end user? BSNL 3G facilitates high speed mobile broadband, video calling,
mobile TV, and more on your mobile phones, wherever you are!

While cellphones brought about a mobile communication revolution in India with a

huge number of people owning mobile phones and thereby getting the ability to
communicate, wherever they are.3G may trigger a mobile internet revolution in India!
Well, what is mobile internet or mobile broadband? Mobile broadband is basically
wireless internet access, which enables you to access internet anywhere, whether you are
in the house or on the move! Thus, 3G network will let you make video calls, watch live
TV, access the high speed internet, receive emails and download music tracks other than
the usual voice call and messaging services found on a 2G network (the network which
people use currently).

While 2G enabled mobile voice calls and text messaging (SMS), 3G network will let
you make video calls i.e. you will be able to see the other person with whom you are
talking to! But, to enjoy video calling, you should have a smartphone (3G handset) that
facilitates videocalling and the basic mobile phone wouldn’t suffice. In case, you want to
connect your laptop or PDA (personal digital assistant) to 3G network, like while moving
in a vehicle, you will require to connect your 3G handset to the computer through data
cable, infrared or blue tooth. You may also buy a 3G data card and use the same with
your computer to access high speed 3G network.

It is not just video calling but you will also be able to watch live TV and browse the
web, wherever you are.You can not only remain in touch with your friends and dear ones
but you will also not miss any action on TV or on the internet like live streaming,
download-dable video of entertainment, news, current affairs and sports content! you can
even access CCTV footage or any other similar application by using 3G service as a
connecting media between the CCTV server and your 3G service enabled handset!

You will also be able to pay utility bills and carry out mobile banking in due course
of time and the BSNL 3G network will provide secure connectivity between the handset
and the internet cloud!

What is USIM?
USIM stand for Universal Subscriber Identification Module and it is a SIM card for 3G
services with Storage capacity of 128 KB.BSNL 3G plans will soon be available across
the whole of India and the services include Video call facility, Mobile broadband, Mobile
TV content available on BSNL 3G Portal etc. If you are already a BSNL 2G user, then
you can get 3G services on your existing Number and your number will not change if you
upgrade to 3G! You may continue to use the existing 2G SIM without any charge or may
opt for a new 3G USIM with higher memory for Rs.59.
A common question that may arise is how is 3G broadband different from other
wireless broadband technologies like wi-fi or wimax. While wimax & wifi are primarily
for internet/data service,s 3G is for internet/data as well as voice service. Roaming
facility in case of 3G is far better than the wifi or wimax broadband services. In 3G
broadband, the connectivity speed will be almost comparable to the wireline broadband.
Practically, you will get broadband experience with speed better than 384 KBPS!
Since 3G is letting you watch videos on the move, yet another common question that
arises is how much data will I use while viewing video ? f you are downloading a video
that is meant for a mobile screen, 1mb per minute is a good rule of thumb. Using this
rule, a 4 minute video clip would use around 4MB of your daily or monthly allowance. If
the video was meant for a TV or PC Screen, or it is over 5 min long, it is generally not
recommended to download the video to your phone, as it may struggle to play it back
And you may not have enough storage space on your phone. A better solution for your
mobile would be to stream the Video.
BSNL also offer BSNL 3G data cards that can be connected at PCMCIA slot and
USB port of laptop.These 3G data cards are plug and play devices and the download
speed presently available with these cards is 3.6 Mbps. In due course, other types of 3G
data cards will also be made available.
You can view the demonstration of BSNL 3G at the CSC (Customer Care Center) and
BSNL website.Now you know what is 3G, USIM and 3G broadband, let use see what are
the BSNL 3G plans that are available for you to subscribe.
