3G is Communications to Match Our Imaginations First there was voice. Then there was text messaging. Now, we are on the brink of mobile communications as varied and powerful as our imaginations. With 3G mobile communication standards and technologies we will communicate using voice, text, images and video: 3G is being on a train and watching clips from your favorite soap 3G is being out and sending images back to headquarters 3G is using your phone to take holiday pictures to instantly send to friends at home 3G is using your phone for a videoconference in a taxi While some of this is not quite reality yet, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) will soon give us a taste of 3G. As easy as SMS, MMS combines imaging with mobility using exciting new content and high quality displays. The first 3G networks launched in Japan in 2001 have already proven the possibilities, encouraging operators elsewhere to build their own 3G networks. Many of these are now building 3G networks and placing their confidence in Nokia. GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA and UMTS - the technologies leading up to 3G - may fascinate and surprise you, but the services and applications they enable will be easy and fun to use. Source: Nokia - What is 3G
Third Generation Mobile Telephony 3G is a generic term covering a range of future wireless network technologies, including cdma2000, UMTS, GPRS, WCDMA, and EDGE. 3G combines high-speed mobile access with Internet Protocol (IP) based services. This doesn't just mean fast mobile connection to the World Wide Web - by liberating us from slow connections, cumbersome equipment and immovable access points, 3G will enable new ways to communicate, access information, conduct business and learn.

TOKYO, May 17, 2000 - Intel Corporation and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Mitsubishi) today announced they will co-develop a cellular chipset for the third-generation (3G) wireless technology market. Intel and Mitsubishi explained they will work together to develop and market the new chipset and associated software as Japan deploys 3G wireless technology. Work on the chipset has begun, and the companies intend to expand their joint development effort to other geographic regions using the same platform architecture. Intel is committed to being a leading-edge wireless building block supplier. Today's announcement of a new chipset solution, developed by Intel and Mitsubishi, further demonstrates our ability to provide competitive solutions to the wireless marketplace," said Ron Smith, vice president and general manager of Intel's Wireless Communications and Computing Group. "Using Intel's wireless solutions, Mitsubishi can develop a high-performance, low-power and highly integrated multimedia 3G cellular phone. Japan is our initial focus market, and we expect to use the same architecture platform for Europe and other regions in a timely manner," said Michio Nakanishi, group president of the Communication Systems Group, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.

3G is on a mission Cellular phones allow users to talk on the move. The Internet proved to be successful in moving data. The combination of these two with high- speed connection is known as the third generation -- 3G. We are becoming more dependent on mobile devices by the day. Being mobile is no longer a luxury, but has become a necessity. The goal of the 3G consortia is to establish objectives for future global mobile telecommunications systems. These objectives include:
3G will define a new direction for mobile services that are already an integral part of modern business and personal life. Studies suggest that consumers are currently dedicating 18% of communication spending on mobile services. This spending will increase to 24% by 2006 and to 50% by 2015. Once 3G is rolled out, we will be able to watch TV, conduct video conferencing, perform bank transactions, check on orders or inventory, and conduct business globally via our wireless handheld devices. 3G will empower B2B, B2C, B2G, B2E, and P2P communications; it will mean many things to many people.
