No, UMTS-WCDMA is not problem free, lots of MIPS needed, asynchronous handover is tough. (ref NEC boss and comment on handset becoming a base station, one reason I like Tetra) GPRS should be a piece of cake a soon as the software guys get a grip on realtime infrastructure coding and the middle managers leave them alone for some months. (assuming the OS isn't as unpredicatable as Windoze) EDGE, after that, is only a question of RF technology. What worries me most in the case of Le Mans is the NEC quote on operating systems, I wouldn't wish anything like WinDoze on NEC... not even on Ericsson. Ilmarinen
