  • UMTS to Mobilize the Data World
    UMTS to Mobilize the Data World A report on the progress of UMTS By: Chris Pearson Executive Vice President Vicki Livingston Director of Marketing www.3gamericas.org February 2003 UMTS to Mobilize the Data World Preface 3G Americas provides this report on the tremendous progress of Third Generation UMTS technology in preparation for the dozens of commercial launches to occur in 2003. Our organization is committed to the GSM evolution of GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS (WCDMA) and its seamless deployment throughout the Americas. The first vision of what UMTS might become emerged in a workshop report in 1995. Standardization work did not begin until after the UMTS Task Force’s published results in mid- 1996 and ETSI’s subsequent UTRA decision in January 1998. Thus, based on the historical patterns demonstrated by introductions of other new wireless technologies, it could be expected that UMTS would first be realized somewhere between 2002 and 2004. As the business case emerges for wireless data services, we are also seeing the completion of UMTS trials, deployments of UMTS infrastructure, commercial announcements of dual-mode GSM/UMTS handsets, and a general readiness of the marketplace for the mobilization of data throughout the world with UMTS. Additionally, 2003 will see the deployment of EDGE throughout the Americas and other regions of the world. EDGE and UMTS are complementary technologies, able to interoperate and be deployed in tandem within an operator’s network. The flexibility of the GSM family of technologies allows for optimal capacity, cost efficiency, and global interoperability as the leading standard chosen by over 785 million subscribers.
