First mobile phone:
When the first mobile network emerged in the 1980s, no one could have expected the kind of technology we have now. Even with the high performance of today’s 4G LTE networks, users are demanding more and communications service providers are poised to deliver. As the International Telecommunications Union delivers its roadmap for 5G delivery by 2020, let’s take a look back at how the mobile network evolution has shaped up and how it will change with 5G.
While the benefits of mobile voice communication were groundbreaking, 1G was unencrypted and highly vulnerable to attacks such as eavesdropping and cell phone cloning.
3G network innovation was sparked by the need to support mobile phones as an integral part of everyday lives. The packet switching data transmission supported major speed increases over circuit switching in 2G.
The digital, circuit-switched TDMA upgrade introduced three key benefits: encryption for greater security, greater efficiency in the radio spectrum, and the advent of data services.

By 2020, the world is expected to have approximately 6.1 billion active smartphone users. 4G LTE networks offer advanced capabilities, but will crumble under the weight of data demands from so many devices. 5G promises to support all of the demands of our mobile future as it rolls out in 2020.
The buzz surrounding 4G and 5G is only as valuable as our ability to solve the current LTE backhaul challenges. Scalability, the need for a flat architecture, and the persistence of legacy networks present challenges for the mobile network evolution. With ECI’s ElastiNET™, the LTE backhaul can improve due to:• Mobile network scalability and flexibility for handling microcell architectures • End-to-end packet transport• Multi-service capabilities • Simplified network control by decoupling transport and service layers
