Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Which type of radio signals did 1G system use?

    • A. 

      Analog

    • B. 

      Digital

    Correct Answer
    A. Analog
    Explanation
    The 1G system used analog radio signals. Analog signals are continuous waveforms that vary in amplitude and frequency, allowing for the transmission of voice and data. In contrast, digital signals use discrete values to represent information, which was not utilized in the 1G system.

    What mobile phone system standard was 1G introduced for?

    • A. 

      GSM

    • B. 

      GPRS

    • C. 

      AMPS

    • D. 

      CDMA

    Correct Answer
    C. AMPS
    Explanation
    AMPS stands for Advanced Mobile Phone System, which was the first generation (1G) analog cellular system introduced in the United States in 1983. It was primarily used for voice communication and had limited capacity and features compared to later generations. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) are all examples of 2G and 3G mobile phone system standards, introduced after AMPS.

      1991

    Correct Answer
    D. 1991
    Explanation
    2G systems were introduced in 1991. This was the second generation of mobile telecommunications technology, following the first generation (1G) analog systems. 2G systems brought significant advancements such as digital voice transmission, improved call quality, and the ability to send text messages. It also introduced the concept of data services, allowing users to access basic internet features like email and limited web browsing. The introduction of 2G systems marked a major milestone in the development of mobile communication technology.

  • 7. 

    Video Calls and Conferencing were services used within 2G.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Video Calls and Conferencing were not services used within 2G. 2G, or second-generation cellular technology, primarily focused on voice calls and basic text messaging. Video calls and conferencing became more prevalent with the introduction of 3G and subsequent generations of cellular technology.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Why was 3G delayed in some countries?

    • A. 

      New equipment had to be installed

    • B. 

      Higher licencing fees

    • C. 

      The country didn't want to introduce a new technology

    Correct Answer
    B. Higher licencing fees
    Explanation
    In some countries, the delay in implementing 3G technology can be attributed to higher licensing fees. These fees may have posed a financial burden for telecommunication companies, making it difficult for them to invest in the necessary infrastructure and equipment required for 3G networks. As a result, the rollout of 3G services may have been postponed until the licensing fees became more manageable or until alternative funding options were available.
