The first cell phone was almost a foot long, incredibly clunky, and cost almost four thousand dollars. Today, you can buy a tiny handheld device with astronomical processing power for less than a quarter of the price. However, that processing power we mentioned demonstrates the biggest difference between devices over the years. When data processing speed is measured, what’s truly being calculated is how quickly a device can execute tasks. In 1983, 1G was widely used in the United States. It was an analog system, which was designed to send sound signals of varying frequencies, in order to transmit information. In the mid-1990s, 2G emerged. As the first digital cellular phone system, it relied on a string of data points rather than varying sound frequencies. 2G supported familiar functions, such as photos, music, and texting. By comparison to other personal technology innovations, the gaps between network generations are long. 3G hit in the mid-2000s, which drastically improved information-carrying capacity and data processing speeds. Not too long ago, 4G was introduced. Data volume and speed increased even more, and is available on all up-to-date phones. However, there are many rumors involving 5G, which would represent the most dramatic leap in data volume and speed. The table below outlines how download rates progressed. Download rates calculate how long it takes to send individual pieces of information, which is called data.

4G/LTE Advanced 1,000 Mbps

5G (Near Future) 10,000 Mbps Projected

The abbreviation ‘Mbps’ stands for megabits. One megabit equals one million pieces of data per second! Currently, networks are operating at a rate of one hundred megabits per second. That means your 4G network is processing one hundred million pieces of data each second. Sometime in the near future, we predict that 5G will revolutionize today’s tech landscape by operating 100 times faster than it does now.

GroovyTek Hint: Your carrier (e.g., AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon) provides you with data through their network—that’s what you’re paying them for each month. Whenever possible, it’s a good idea to be on a secure Wi-Fi network to limit your use of data, which can be costly over time.
