Mobile forum joins 3G project By Total Telecom staff 31 July 2000 The Mobile Wireless Internet Forum (MWIF) has joined the Third-Generation Partnership Project 2 as a market representation partner. The MWIF is expected to provide much-needed expertise in the field of Internet protocol networks to the group, which supports the development of CDMA-based third-generation mobile standards. "With its focus on IP networks, MWIF will provide additional value to the project. TIA looks forward to close collaboration with MWIF on bringing 3G technologies and services into the market," said Matthew Flanigan, president of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), a standards development organization that is also part of 3GPP2. The 3GPP2 was created in January 1999. Apart from the MWIF and TIA it now comprises the CDMA Development Group, as well as four other standards development organizations - the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (Japan), the China Wireless Telecommunications Standards Group (China), the Telecommunications Technology Association (Republic of Korea) and the Telecommunication Technology Committee (Japan). The 3GPP2 has also agreed to adopt the recommendations of the Operators Harmonization Group, along with 3GPP, which supports GSM-based 3G mobile standards. The OHG is an ad hoc group of operators and manufacturers whose suggested technical route to a harmonized 3G standard was embraced by the International Telecommunication Union in June 1999.
