Making 3G Global Forum

25th August ,2004

ASIA : ITU TELECOM ASIA Forum Session "Making 3G Global" Examines future scenarios for different next generation mobile technologies

What: Forum Business and Strategies Session 5: Making 3G Global

When: Thursday, 9 September, 14.30-16.00

Where: Room 205-206, Convention Hall, Bexco, Busan, Republic of Korea

Why: IMT-2000 — or third generation (3G) — has been rolled out across the Asia-Pacific region, as well as elsewhere in the world, and countries such as Japan and the Republic of Korea have emerged as the early leaders in this next generation of mobile communications technology. Within the Asia-Pacific region, operators have been able to choose which type of technology will take them along their next-generation path. Two distinct radio interfaces; CDMA2000 and Wideband CDMA (sometimes called UMTS in Europe) have emerged and in some cases, operate alongside each other. China, meanwhile, is conducting trials of its own IMT-2000 variant, TD-SCDMA technology.

CDMA2000 and W-CDMA technologies will need to offer full interworking and roaming with each other in order to make IMT-2000 a truly global standard for the future. How close are we to achieving this goal? This key Forum session will examine the attributes of each technology as well as consider scenarios for their future deployment.

Who: Mr John Visser, Chairman, ITU-T Special Study Group on IMT-2000 and Beyond, and Senior Manager, International Network Standards, Nortel Networks Canada will moderate the session. Confirmed keynote speakers and panelists include:
Mr Jean-Pierre Bienaimé, Chairman, UMTS Forum
Mr Perry LaForge, Executive Director, CDMA Development Group, United States
Dr Yutaka Yasuda, Vice President & General Manager, "au" Technology Division, "au" Business Sector, KDDI Corporation, Japan
Dr Joo Sik Lee, Vice President SK Telecom, Korea (Rep. of)
