3G T echnology :

� W-CDMA (FDD)

Duplex

� TD-CDMA (TDD)



The difference is W-CDMA uses a technology called

Frequency Division Duplex

TD-CDMA is Time Division Duplex, allows you to

operate up and down on the same frequency, so

that can save the spectrum.



S pectrum:

ITU Suggests 1885-2025 MHz and 2110-

2200 MHz for 3G service.

Europe and Asia: Available

I s 3G a wireless marvel or an investment disaster?

The 3G technology promises high-speed data,

mobile streaming video and anytime-anywhere

access.

But implementation costs have significantly

dampened enthusiasm.



H uge market

Despite these hurdles, major carries andequipment vendors have mostly laid outtheir blueprints for migrating toward 3G

technology.

China already is the world's largest cell phone

market, with 180 million subscribers and growing.

Roll out of services in more than 4,000 town & cities and more than 60,000villages.

Total Private GSM Investments are over Rs 50,000 crores.GSMGSM--Fixed Crossover achieved in April 2005.Fixed Crossover achieved in April 2005.



G SM Advantages GSM advantages over other cellular technologies are:

Dominant global market share of GSM gives benefits: Large number of infrastructure and handset vendor·s giving advantage in

terms of price and other commercial terms.

Innovations ahead of CDMA e.g. single chip handsets. Widest choice of handsets with widespread sales and service distribution

network.

Handset availability in all price segments and ongoing introduction of wide variety to meet customer requirements.

Easy subscription process (SIM based)

Widespread prepaid solutions

Seamless interoperability between networks and handsets.

Global footprint for international roaming including SMS, data and other value added services.

3G in I ndia 3G was introduced in India in 2006.

3G upgradation for GSM is 3GSM (WCDMA).

In India GSM constitutes 80% of the total cellular market;

this will form a ripe base for 3GSM (WCDMA).

Worldwide also 3GSM (WCDMA) drives the 3G growth.

W hat is WIMAX?

WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

WiMAX refers to broadband wireless networks that are based on the IEEE802.16 standard, which ensures compatibility and interoperability between broadband wireless access equipment

WiMAX, which will have a range of up to 31 miles, is primarily aimed at making broadband network access widely available without the expense ofstringing wires (as in cable-access broadband) or the distance limitations of

Digital Subscriber Line.



W ill WIMAX replace 3G?

� Along with the forthcoming standardization, WiMAX has the potential to substitute 3G and become a promising 4G

� WiMAX has its distinct identity as either a stand-alone solution for incumbent

and competitive fixed network operators or as complementary radio accesssolution for established 2G and 3G cellular network operators

� Fixed-line operators, on the one hand, may consider WiMAX as a viable alternative to add mobility to the service portfolio, leveraging their huge subscriber base, in particular in countries where 3G licensing is delayed or not

affordable



Conclusion

There are sever al factor s that

delay the deployment of 3Gsystems wor ldwide, but it is such

a large market issue companies

will continue to use resour ces in

developing 3G technologies.
