Mobile - Wireless Communications White Papers

Mobile Broadband: The Global Evolution of UMTS/HSPA - 3GPP Release 7 and Beyond

Overview Wireless data revenues are picking up and have now passed 10% of the total revenues for many operators. The most popular applications are text messaging (SMS), Web and WAP access, Multimedia Messaging (MMS) and content downloads, e.g., ring tones, music and video clips, with more than 50% of the mobile subscribers using these basic data services. With the introduction of UMTS, data revenues will play an increasingly important role for operators. Most UMTS operators are offering some kind of mobile broadband service and several PC vendors offer laptops with built-in HSDPA capabilities that will boost data usage even further. Other services, with less penetration but with high expectations for future growth, include mobile email access, mobile TV, mobile gaming and full track music downloads.
