WCDMA

Nokia is dedicated to building a successful Mobile World. GPRS has already made it simpler and cheaper for subscribers to access new content and services, which operators can implement more rapidly. WCDMA brings much faster and easier access to existing services and enables development of a wealth of new exciting applications. Subscribers can, for example, enhance a mobile voice call with online live video, or surf the Web while simultaneously speaking on the phone. For operators, WCDMA means high and cost-effective capacity, as well as flexible tools for tariffing and delivering services through Nokia's advanced WCDMA QoS (Quality of Service) mechanisms and Service Aware Packet Core features. With Nokia, operators can deploy a complete WCDMA 3G system with the lowest cost of ownership. What's more, 2G operators can build WCDMA 3G capability on top of their existing GSM network using a common circuit and packet core network, operating support system and service platforms. This true convergence of 2G and 3G means lower capital, implementation and operation costs. And, as WCDMA terminals commonly have GSM support from day one, it provides efficient interworking between 2G and 3G, resulting in lower initial investment. Nokia is committed to evolving WCDMA to achieve even greater efficiency with features like HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access), which will boost radio access efficiency just like EDGE has done for GSM. Network capacity will be further increased and service access and delivery will be considerably faster. http://www.housing-mobile.com
