Cable & Wireless HKT and Finland's Nokia have completed the first phase of trials on third-generation (3G) mobile-phone technology in Hong Kong. Third-generation technologies such as wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) will be built on top of existing networks and can support transmission speeds of up to 384 kilobits per second, making multimedia services like video-conferencing, Web browsing and video gaming on mobile phones possible. Many of the city's six mobile-phone networks will be introducing GPRS (general packet radio services) applications later this year. GPRS, an enhancement to existing networks, is considered an interim step to 3G. It can boost transmission speed by about 10 times to 100 megabits (Mb) per second. Article at technologypost.com
