• 3 G mobile phones are now coming to the Indian market where LG has become the first company to introduce the 3 G phones in Indian market.

• Today Nokia N- series, Motorola, Erricssion ,Samsung etc phones facilitate the features of 3G technologies in their respective models.

Now let’s take a look of various features of 3G phones and its applicability in media communication along with general communication.

Network mobility:-

3G networks can catch frequency from remote areas .with the help of 3G phones one can not be able to cover the news only but also can send it via internet network facilitate by 3G phones from the place where ordinary network could not reach.

MMS :-

Video conferencing:-

A video conference system utilizing a mobile phone and the method thereof is provided. Simple analog videoconferences could be established as early as the invention of the television. Such videoconferencing systems consisted of two closed-circuit television systems connected via cable. The mobile phone includes an audio detection device, a photo-sensing device, a conversion unit, a transceiver unit, and a loudspeaker. The mobile phone records images and sounds, and outputs a video signal and an audio signal to the computer host accordingly. The computer further sends the video and audio signals to a remote client via an internet. The images and sounds in the remote client are sent to the computer host via the internet, and the sounds are played out by the loudspeaker of the mobile phone. TV channels routinely use this kind of videoconferencing when reporting from distant locations.
Voice messages:-

• Demand of basic telecom services in third world countries are increasing on a stiff climb.
• Internet, multimedia and data service demand has surged up.
• Global roaming is also pushing this evolution as well.
• Call traffic, in order to have better capacity servers and for better efficiency it has become necessary to shift on 3G services.
• Roaming capability throughout Europe, Japan, and North America which was not possible on all 2G phones
So these are the points which in forces 3G technologies to drive in India.

Here where India is stepping on towards the edge of 3G there countries like Japan and Korea enhancing with 4G and 4.5G…we can say the generation Z will be coming soon….
