Alternatives to 3G Cellular
• Major technical undertaking with many
organizational and marketing overtones.
• Questions about the need for the additional
investment for 3G (happy with 2.5G)
• Wireless LAN in public places such as shopping
malls and airports offer options
• Other high-speed wireless-data solutions compete
with 3G
– Mobitex low data rates (nominally 8 Kbps), it uses a narrowband
(2.5KHz) as compared to 30 KHz (GSM) and 5 MHz (3G).
– Ricochet: 40 -128 kbps data rates. Bankruptcy
