Why Are Networks3G Being Shut Down?
What is Happening to 3G Networks?
So, the question arising everywhere is why are telecommunication carriers shutting down their 3G networks? The advent of newer technologies such as 4G and 5G is the answer.
With the move-over to newer technologies, your 3G-enabled smartphone won’t able to make or receive calls or use internet services.
To understand why this shutdown is happening, you have to understand the history behind 3G networks first.

The Advent of 3G
The 3G was developed parallel to this, for a wider range of applications and it wasn’t only for adding more bandwidth.
3G had started off with an asymmetric approach with higher download speeds and lower upload speeds.
While 3G evolved quite a bit from where it had started, the piecemeal upgrades with increased data rates, and improvements in antenna and network architecture just weren’t enough.

Why are networks3GShutting Down?
Mobile carriers are shutting down the older 3G networks to free-up the spectrum for newer 5G services.
This also happened earlier when 2G networks were decommissioned in favor of 4G services.
And with the world slowly but surely shifting over to the ultra-fast 5G networks, the time has come to let go of 3G services.
