'Complete 3G' strategy at 3GSM
February 13, 2005
IPWireless will be at 3GSM World Congress in Cannes Feb. 14 - 17 to demonstrate how UMTS TDD, the 3G standards-based solution optimized for high-speed packet based applications, is an essential part of a "Complete 3G" strategy. Complete 3G, the integration of UMTS TDD with WCDMA, enables operators to deliver true broadband speeds, leverage and maximize all existing spectrum and assets, support full packet-based mobile applications, target whole new markets, generate new premium revenue streams, and preempt threats from new entrants with mobile WiMAX or proprietary technologies.
IPWireless activities at 3GSM include:
-- Orange Mobile Office and IPWireless UMTS TDD Trial - Visit the Orange Pavilion as they showcase efficient & high-speed mobile access experimental solution powered by UMTS TDD.
-- The First Mobile VoIP demonstration in the UMTS world - As a pure packet-based system, UMTS TDD is the only UMTS system that can support carrier-grade VoIP. Try IPWireless' first mobile handset to hear the quality.

UMTS TDD, a global standard that can be used by operators and manufacturers worldwide with commercial deployments in countries around the world including Australia, Germany, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. UMTS TDD networks have the highest average sector capacity, the strongest cell edge performance, and the lowest cost per megabit of any standards-based mobile technology. The commercially proven system includes a complete network infrastructure, pocket-sized wireless modems, gateways, and PC cards (PCMCIA) for laptops and PDAs. In addition, major equipment makers are developing a variety of network infrastructure solutions and end user devices, including mobile voice over IP handsets and Compact Flash Cards, with IPWireless-licensed TD-CDMA chipsets embedded.
