Europe
Ireland : Research and Markets has announced the addition of Global
3G Landscape Wallchart 2006 to their offering.
While most cellular operators
have largely written-off the billions of dollars spent on 3G spectrum
licenses at the start of the decade, next generation networks are
now widely deployed and new networks continue to come online.
Initially, CDMA operators
migrating to EV-DO enjoyed a technology head-start over their GSM
counterparts - with no better examples than KDDI in Japan and Verizon
Wireless in the US. However, today, WCDMA accounts for the lion's
share of 3G subscribers, with 36 million users worldwide.
With the WiMAX threat looming
around the corner, 3G operators are not standing still. Many, such
as Vodafone and T-Mobile in Europe, are looking to launch HSDPA in
2006 and some operators, like Cingular Wireless, are moving directly
to the 3.5G technology.
Researched and
designed in association with WCIS, the World Cellular Information
Service from Informa Telecoms & Media, this powerful visual tool
provides data ranging from awarded equipment vendor contracts to subscriber
growth figures.
