Before that, there were only analog mobile communications networks (A, B, C, and D networks), which together formed the first generation of mobile communications. With the introduction of 2G in 1992, mobile data transmission was possible for the first time. This meant that telephony was no longer analog \u2013 now it was digital. The 2G standard also included various further developments such as GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution). GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) still comes into play today when monthly data volumes are used up and consumption is throttled. This speed might be ok for applications like WhatsApp, but not for streaming services.      <\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of 3G, the world saw the dawn of the smartphone age. This generation of mobile communications was also continuously improved. Data rates here ranged between 384 Kbit\/s and 42 Mbit\/s. LTE (Long Term Evolution) also had its beginnings within the 3G standard. In its early days, around 2010, the LTE mobile communications standard managed around 50 Mbit\/s. Today, the terms 4G and LTE are used almost synonymously. In fact, only LTE Advanced led to the desired gigabit data rates. In Germany, 4G is currently the standard, over which the bulk of telecommunications runs. 3G has actually been switched off by German network operators over recent years to relieve the strain on the infrastructure and gain more capacity for the 5G rollout.        <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5a56c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f5a56c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">5G \u2013 the gamechanger<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40fccfc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40fccfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2019, the introduction of 5G promised a revolution: With data rates of up to 20 Gbit\/s, low latencies of just one millisecond, and the ability to network billions of devices simultaneously, 5G laid the foundation for digitization of industry.
