In this episode, Ravi and Leo discussed about the history of wireless technology development in India. Following points are covered in the discussion. 

Key Points: 
Ancient Day Communications: 
  • Dove, Drum and Horse Rider. 
  • World War 2 Innovations. 
  • Morse Code. 
Late 80's Communication: 
  • Analog, Telephone Operator. 
Late 90's Communication: 
  • Pager (How it worked, what is the technology). 
  • 1G - AMPS (American Mobile Communication Service) - Analog Wireless Communication - Pros and Cons. 
Early 2000: 
  • 2G - Message + Voice Call, Later Data (GSM, Edge, GPRS, CDMA, TDS-CDMA, CDMA 2K) - Protocol and Design Stages. 
  • 3G - Message + Voice Call + Larger Data, Later Video Call (WCDMA, HSUPA, HSDPA). 
    • What is GSM technology’s special? 
    • What is Bandwidth? 
    • What is CDMA Technology? Battery drain issue in 3G Technology. 
  • WiMax - High throughput and power (battery) enhancements. 
    • OFDM Technology (Orthogonal Frequency). 
    • PAPR Issues and PA Dynamic Range Failure. 
2010 Onwards: 
  • 4G- PAPR and PA Issues Resolved, SFDMA (synchronous frequency division multiple access) Technology. 
  • 5G - NR - Data transfer Rate is too high, Technology support for IoT, Home Automation and Automated Smart Homes. Expected release date. 
  • 6G - GFDM (Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing) Technology - throughput and challenges, Applications AR, VR. 
Whether signal strength will be good under tower? 
How Tower-Tower communication happens? 
How many active users a single tower can hold? 
What do we have in SIM card? 

Security Concerns: 
Encrypted Message, Internal protocol definition will take care of it. 
Always new inventions are vulnerable, over the time it will get matured.
