2. 5 G & 3 G Uptake www. nmscommunications. com
3 G Spectrum Expensive www. nmscommunications. com
GPRS (2. 5 G) Less Risky l l Only $15 k~$20 k per base station Allows operators to experiment with data plans … But falls short because: l Typically 30~50 kbps l GPRS decreases voice capacity www. nmscommunications. com
EDGE Cheaper and Gives Near-3 G Performance l l l EDGE is 2. 75 G, with significantly higher data rates than GPRS Deploying EDGE significantly cheaper than deploying W-CDMA Takeaway: Look for EDGE to gain traction in 2002/2003+ www. nmscommunications. com
Long Life for 2. 5 G & 2. 75 G “We believe the shelf life of 2. 5 G and 2. 75 G will be significantly longer than most pundits have predicted. Operators need to gain valuable experience in how to market packet data services before pushing forward with the construction of new 3 G networks. “ n Sam May, US Bancorp Piper Jaffray l Operators need to learn how to make money with data Likely to stay many years with GPRS/EDGE/CDMA 1 x l Bottom line: wide-scale 3 G will be pushed out l www. nmscommunications. com
Critical For 3 G — Continued Growth In China Likely 3 G licensing outcomes: l China Unicom — cdma 2000 l China Mobile — W-CDMA l China Telecom — W-CDMA/ TD-SCDMA? l China Netcom — W-CDMA/ TD-SCDMA?
