T-Mobile Deutschland demonstrates UMTS handover
January 30, 2003
In a premiere for Berlin’s UMTS network, T-Mobile Deutschland is
using the setting of Deutsche Telekom’s Internationales Presse Kolloquium
(IPK) to demonstrate the performance of its 3G mobile phone network.
Two specially-equipped vehicles are to be employed in a live demonstration
of UMTS applications, including, for the first time in Germany,
a live handover between UMTS radio cells.
“The ability to access multimedia services over the new UMTS network
is a powerful demonstration that, for T-Mobile, the future of mobile
communications is no longer just a vision”, explained Timotheus
Höttges, Managing Director of T-Mobile Deutschland. “When the new
network is launched, we will be able to offer our customers a large
number of high-quality, next generation services.“
The vehicle occupants receive information, for example about the
route and interesting sights along the way, via laptops in the back
of the two vans. Direct access to T-Mobile’s t-zones data portal
is also possible. And for the first time in Germany a handover of
data links from one UMTS radio cell to another will be demonstrated
live.
By the end of 2002, two hundred and fifty transmitters (node B)
for the UMTS network had been installed in Berlin and Potsdam. Across
the whole of Germany, technical preparations for over 3,000 sites
are now complete. The 3G mobile phone technology should be in place
in around 200 towns and cities by the third quarter of 2003. This
clearly exceeds the minimum coverage of 25% of the German population
as required by the Regulation Authority for Telecommunications and
Post. To date, T-Mobile Deutschland has invested over 140 million
euros in preparing UMTS sites and the necessary systems technology.
