3G Americas Publishes Rysavy Research GSM Data Capabilities White
Paper
November 19, 2002
3G Americas released a white paper, Data Capabilities for GSM Evolution
to UMTS written by wireless research expert Peter Rysavy of Rysavy
Research, to showcase information on GSM data capabilities. The
Rysavy Research white paper concludes that in comparing EDGE, WCDMA
and CDMA2000 1XRTT, EDGE is the most spectrally efficient 3G technology
for low speed applications and WCDMA is the most spectrally efficient
3G technology for high speed applications. The conclusions of this
paper support the choice made by GSM operators, representing over
85% of the world's next-generation cellular data service subscribers,
for the GSM evolution -- GSM/GPRS/EDGE and UMTS.
"It is time to showcase the data capabilities and tremendous technical
qualities of the GSM wireless data evolution of GPRS, EDGE, and
WCDMA," commented Chris Pearson, Executive Vice President of 3G
Americas. "The wireless industry is on the brink of an explosive
wireless data uptake with all the pieces in place - the first steps
have begun with over 200 GPRS networks deployed, numerous handsets,
an ever-growing selection of applications, higher throughput rates,
and lower service costs due to increased spectral efficiency."
Vicki Livingston, Director of Marketing for 3G Americas stated,
"3G Americas wanted to clearly explain and substantiate the technical
story of the GSM family of next-generation technologies through
objective research to solidify how UMTS Multi-radio Networks will
offer the best capabilities for GSM operators and their customers
throughout the world."
"This white paper first describes the data capabilities and data
mechanisms of GPRS, EDGE and UMTS, including the efficiency of the
data services. It also quantifies performance and capacity of those
services and then describes how operators can evolve their networks
from GSM to UMTS, contrasting their capabilities with those of other
cellular technologies," explained the author, Peter Rysavy, "Rysavy
Research worked with top radio engineering teams from both operator
and vendor companies to compile and independently develop a composite
report. The conclusions in this white paper are well supported throughout
the industry."
