INTRODUCTION
Technology in the field of mobile and related applications is growing fast with time. It
was one of the major jumps in the field of technology when the wireless networks transformed
from analog to the digital. Wireless telephone technology i.e. mobile telecommunication includes
list of generations which are 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G. Each generation is believed to be faster, more
secure and more reliable than the previous one. 3G is offering faster data, speed and at least
200KB per seconds for multimedia use. The 3G was long time standard for the wireless
transmissions until 4G does not released. After the release of 4G, people are upgrading their
services for getting much faster speed and services. With respect to this, the present project plan
is based on the Mobile 3G to 4G Upgrade in Kathmandu. In context to this, the file includes
project scope, time and cost estimation, quality planning, risk assessment and implementation
(Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017).
Determination of project scope
In 2G, there was facility of making calls and sending text messages. Later, the 3G
released with the features of web browsing, email, video downloading, picture sharing and many
more. The 3G network was capable enough to handle approximate 2 megabits per second.
Individuals around the world were highly satisfied with the third generation network. Now, the
technological world has brought new 4G in the market with higher speed and more features. The
speed and standards of 4g is about 100 Megabits per second and up to 1 Gigabits per second. 4G
is pure data connection as it possesses end to end internet protocol connection. In the present
time, Kathmandu is facing issues due to availability of 2G and 3G network. Due to the absence
of skilled and necessary resources, the city is unable to upgrade its network from 2G and 3G to
4G. With respect to this, the people are facing network issues due to which they are unable to
call and access internet. On the other hand, irregular topography of Kathmandu is another reason
behind the usage of 2G and 3G. Thus, the aim of the present project plan is to upgrade the
technology from 3G to 4G in Kathmandu (Fleming & Koppelman, 2016).
Aim: To upgrade mobile network from 3G to 4G in Kathmandu
Objectives:

The objectives of the present project plan are as follows:
 To implement 4g network in the environment of Kathmandu
 To provide large area network coverage
 To provide affordable services to the people
Estimation of time for project
Project schedule is one of the important tool by which project manager can easily
estimate the total required time for completing the project. Project schedule for the current
project is as follows:
