AWS 3G Migration (March 20, 2002 ) CTIA Wireless 2002 by Mike Bamburak, Vice President 3G Technologies, AT&T Wireless: The migration path of AT&T Wireless to enhanced 3G services from TDMA to GSM/GPRS to EDGE/UMTS. Download presentation in Power Point format. 3gamericas.org or try the HTML framed version which didn't work for me 3gamericas.org Two interesting bullets on slide #12 Committed to EDGE Deployment in 2002 UMTS Market trial around year end 2002 There won't be many EDGE or UMTS handsets available in 2002, IMHO, but they should find enough for trials and PR. Post Script.: Also slide #5, their speed comparision chart. They show 1xRTT delivering twice the speed of their GPRS and 1xEV-DO as faster than their EDGE. About time they admitted it, but oh yeah, speed doesn't matter. <g> 158
