GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) was developed to replace the analog cellular network (1G), therefore it is referred to as a 2G mobile network. It has been improved with the addition of General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) and later via the Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology.

CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) is a channel access method for communications within mobile networks. Compared to other 2G and 2.5G standards like GSM and TDMA, it provides increased data transfer speeds and allows more subscribers to connect simultaneously to the network.

W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is an air interface used by 3G mobile networks. It is one of the three different UMTS interfaces together with the TD-SCDMA and the TD-CDMA. The standard provides faster data transfer speeds and allows more users to connect to the network simultaneously.

LTE is deemed to be the fourth generation (4G) of mobile communications technology. It has been developed by the 3GPP based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies in order to increase the speed and capacity of wireless data networks. A further development of the technology is called LTE Advanced.

The 5G (fifth generation) mobile networks use the new radio access technology (RAT) developed by 3GPP, dubbed 5G NR and deemed as the global standard for the air interface of 5G networks. 5G NR operates in two frequency ranges - FR1 (sub-6 GHz) and FR2 (above 24 GHz). In the FR1 frequency range, the 5G mobile networks use a number of bands, some of which are traditionally used by previous standards. The FR2 provides shorter range but higher available bandwidth than bands in the FR1.
