3G technology is the most recent
released for mobile phones. More and more individuals all over the
globe are converting to the new platforms because of faster
connectivity, easier accessibility and better performance overall. You
can enjoy faster downloads and viewing for music and videos, play 3D
games and do video conferences with others. Here are more details about
the compatibility among networks and how well you can get ahead.
Compatibility with Other Networks
UMTS networks can be managed and operated using GPRS or GSM networks.
The systems will apply a number of frequency bands, so that mobiles and
BTSs will not interfere with one another. Some vendors will claim their
core network as UMTS compatible, such as RNC, BSC, MSC, SGSN and HLR,
although several operators will choose to create an entirely
independent and unique UMTS network. A number of the most recent GSM
BTSs can also have parts of the UMTS radio and share a single rack.
The UMTS specifications are created, leaving maximum compatibility
between UMTS and GSM systems. During the late 2002, there are also
multi and dual band phones that can be applied in UMTS and GSM
networks. Over time, the phones will have the capacity to do handovers
from one network to another.
The Transition
There may not be a transition time from UMTS up to the current system,
since the systems of GSM will continue to function constantly in the
next 10 years. A number of 1G networks are actually still functional
and running until this time in some areas of the world. The only
limitations for operators are the terms of the GSM license and the
personal preferences of clients. The networks of UMTS will be given as
an addition to the mobile platform.
Licensing and Status
Most GSM operators failed or missed to obtain a UMTS license, such as
Denmark, France and the United Kingdom. These are not totally counted
out. Current operators have big assets, a huge customer base, retail
network, BTS site locations, image, transmission systems and several
others. These give them the advantage of making deals with license
holders of 3G technology. Some of the best examples are Telia
with Tele2 in Sweden and Hutchison 3G in the UK.
In the United States, a number of operators have chosen CDMAOne,
CDMA2000 1x EV-DO, CDMA2000 and CDMA2000 3X. Others have even chosen
GSM1900, EDGE or D-AMPD-EDGE. There are new cellular frequencies
allocations that may have been delayed or postponed, leading operators
to use the current frequencies that naturally stop the available
capacity at a certain point.
Other Details
The TD-SCDMA 3G system has been constantly tested in China. There is
license allocation and the possibility to adapt to other 3G
technologies. When 3G licenses are given out or issued, the Beauty
Contest term may be used. This means that the government will require
every applicant to give a plan on how they intend to build a network
and manage other business regarding 3G.
There are several aspects to consider when planning, such as asking how
many jobs can be made, how many domestic products are consumed, what
kind of plan in terms of financing will lead to success, what type of
services can be availed of and how other less fortunate areas can also
take advantage of 3G technology.
