It means "third generation" and refers to a family of technologies that deliver much faster download and upload speeds for handheld devices and laptops. They work by allowing many cell phones or other wireless devices to communicate on the same frequency without getting confused. Compared with older systems, this allows for the transfer of a larger amount of data by eliminating the need to keep each signal separate.
