GSM to 3G: Evolution or Revolution?

Tags:
gsm

Overview With the finalization of 3G licenses, and the massive investments made by the successful bidders, there is now a race to generate a return on investment. Operators must strike a balance between cost of infrastructure, value of services and time to market, or face failure. Operators without a license have alternative opportunities to deliver services, albeit at potentially reduced bandwidth. This paper examines the technical options open to operators, with or without 3G licenses, to evolve or replace existing infrastructures.

What's the fuss about... third-generation?
