2g towers

2G, or second-generation, refers to the second generation of wireless communication technology. 2G networks were introduced in the 1990s and brought digital voice communication, as opposed to the analog signals used in 1G networks. The most common 2G technology is GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications).

2G networks are considered obsolete in many parts of the world, as newer generations like 3G, 4G, and now 5G have been deployed to provide faster data speeds, improved voice quality, and enhanced services. However, in some areas, especially in developing countries, 2G networks may still be in use due to their widespread coverage and lower infrastructure costs.

The term "2G towers" typically refers to the cell towers or base stations that support 2G network infrastructure. These towers house the equipment necessary to transmit and receive signals between mobile devices and the network. As mobile operators upgrade their networks to newer generations, they may repurpose or decommission 2G towers in favor of more advanced technologies.

It's worth noting that the focus in recent years has been on deploying and expanding 4G (LTE) and 5G networks, as they offer significantly higher data speeds and support a wider range of services compared to 2G.
