Second Generation or 2G technology is based on the global system for mobile communication (GSM) technology. 2G technology enables various networks to provide services such as picture messages, text messages, and MMS. In this technology, all text messages are numerally or digitally encrypted owing to which only the intended receiver receives message. These digital signals consume fewer battery power, thus it helps in saving the battery of mobiles. Third generation or 3G technology usually refers to the standard of accessibility & speed of mobile devices, which is set by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). It enables use of many services for instance mobile television, GPS (Global Positioning System), and video conferencing. It provides services with better bandwidth & increased speed. These 2G & 3G technology differ in modulation scheme, technology architecture, protocol stack, and radio frequency. The 3G technology provides a high level of security compared to 2G because of its validation measures during communication.
