EDGE - is a step towards 3G, not its competitor
December 16, 2003
The 3G Portal reported recently that Alan Hadden, president of the Global
mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) observed that 'Operators globally are
already recognising the commercial benefit of deploying EDGE networks,
both as a complement to their W-CDMA network plans and as an initial incremental
step in providing true high-speed mobile data services'. This is an important
point in more ways than one. EDGE has been getting a very positive coverage
across the telecoms press lately but a certain journalistic sloppiness
has been creeping in that misrepresents the position of EDGE in the wireless
world. EDGE is not competing with 3G. EDGE and 3G WCDMA are complementary
technologies, and what we are now witnessing is how operators are making
decisions about how to utilise, in the best possible way, the existing
and new radio spectrum that they have.
Unlike other wireless technologies that are fighting for attention and
customers, EDGE is different. It builds on a successful history that goes
back more than ten years being a logical enhancement of GSM for existing
narrow spectrum allocations. What operators love about EDGE during these
days of prudent investment is that it builds on existing wireless assets
(i.e. all existing GSM infrastructure, services, etc). Investment in EDGE
is in operators hands, and the correct timing for GSM enhancement with
EDGE is obviously seen to be right now. More...
