| It’s the end of an era for the mobile network operators as we shut down the last remnants of the 3G networks. This globally outdated technology has now gone the way of the dodo, and joins AMPS (1G analog), D-AMPS (2G digital), and CDMA (think blackberry) in the history books. But it’s not just mobile networks that need to be upgraded: the fixed line network has undergone a massive transformation over the past decade moving from copper lines to fibre optic cable. Instead of pulses of electricity, we have embraced the future with beams of light that carry more information over greater distances, free from many of the constraints of the old copper-based world. Copper lines will be gone by the end of the decade, and that frees up our network operators to deliver more of the good stuff: higher capacity, more resilience and sustainability and for consumers, faster connections over a range of technologies fibre, mobile, fixed wireless and satellite. |
