4. What is 3G cont. 3G increased bandwidth and transfer rates 3G increased bandwidth and transfer rates Web-based applications Web-based applications Phone-based audio and video files Phone-based audio and video files 3G’s uses: 3G’s uses: Sending and receiving large multimedia files Sending and receiving large multimedia files Downloading info from the internet Downloading info from the internet E-mail E-mail

5. What is 3G cont. 3G’s uses continued: 3G’s uses continued: Video Conferencing Video Conferencing Streaming video for the Web Streaming video for the Web Sending and receiving faxes Sending and receiving faxes December 2007: 190 3G networks in 40 countries with 200 million customers, only 6% of the 3 billion mobile phone customers December 2007: 190 3G networks in 40 countries with 200 million customers, only 6% of the 3 billion mobile phone customers

6. HSPA HSPA - High Speed Packet Access HSPA - High Speed Packet Access HSDPA - High Speed Downlink Packet Access HSDPA - High Speed Downlink Packet Access HSUPA - High Speed Uplink Packet Access HSUPA - High Speed Uplink Packet Access HSPA: HSPA: Increases peak data rates Increases peak data rates Provides more system capacity Provides more system capacity Reduces latency Reduces latency

7. HSDPA Peak data rate of 14 Mbps vs. 1.8 Mbps Peak data rate of 14 Mbps vs. 1.8 Mbps Download large files 20x faster Download large files 20x faster 5x system capacity 5x system capacity

8. HSUPA Peak data rate of 5.8 Mbps vs. 0.73 Mbps Peak data rate of 5.8 Mbps vs. 0.73 Mbps Upload large files 10x faster Upload large files 10x faster 2x system capacity 2x system capacity

9. HSPA Increased system capacity makes it cheaper for service provider to offer service Increased system capacity makes it cheaper for service provider to offer service Latency reduced from 70 ms to 50 ms Latency reduced from 70 ms to 50 ms Gives user faster responses in applications Gives user faster responses in applications
