2G (Second Generation) mobile networks were the first digital cellular systems introduced, providing better voice quality and more efficient use of the available bandwidth compared to 1G analog systems. One of the key technologies used in 2G networks is CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), which allows multiple users to share the same frequency band simultaneously by assigning unique codes to each conversation. This technology is different from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), which uses TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access). The use of CDMA in 2G networks was a significant advancement in mobile communications.
