This document provides an overview of the different generations of mobile technology. It discusses the evolution from 1G to 2G to 3G to 4G and introduces 5G. 1G allowed for analog voice calls with limited coverage. 2G brought digital networks, SMS, and limited data. 3G improved voice quality and enabled more data services. 4G provided higher speeds and better capabilities for smartphones. 5G will deliver even higher speeds and capacities, as well as new capabilities like low latency and high reliability. The document outlines the timeline of 3GPP releases and research into each generation of mobile technology.
