re: Another Nokia MMS win in Poland >> Nokia Wins Multimedia Messaging System Order From Poland's Plus GSM 29th August 2002 AFX News Nokia Corp said it won a multimedia messaging system order from Polish operator Polkomtel, operating under the brand name Plus GSM, and that the system is already delivered. Financial details were not disclosed. "A commercial launch was made during the last week of June and includes the possibility of e-mail interworking and receiving messages through a web page for subscribers who do not yet have MMS-enabled handsets," said Robert Krawczyk, board member and director of marketing and sales at Plus GSM. Nokia said it has supplied Plus GSM with its multimedia messaging solution, including the Nokia Multimedia Messaging Service Center and Nokia Multimedia Terminal Gateway servers. Nokia said it has also provided implementation and integration services and the Nokia KeyCareTM Package. << Nokia Press Release: Plus GSM of Poland Has Launched Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) With Nokia as The Supplier of Its Multimedia Messaging Solution August 29, 2002 Nokia Nokia has signed a contract with Polish operator Polkomtel, which operates under the brand name Plus GSM, to supply the Nokia solution for multimedia messaging. The system brings next-generation multimedia-based services to Plus GSM's mobile subscribers. With these new multimedia messaging services (MMS), mobile subscribers are able to send exciting new content directly from their MMS phone to another MMS phone or to e-mail. MMS is the next evolutionary step after text messaging (SMS), making it a familiar and easy-to-use service for subscribers. In addition to the text content of SMS, multimedia messages can contain images, graphics, voice, and audio clips. Under the agreement, Nokia has supplied its multimedia messaging solution, including the Nokia Multimedia Messaging Service Center and Nokia Multimedia Terminal Gateway servers. In addition, Nokia has provided implementation and integration services and the Nokia KeyCareTM Package, which maintains the competitiveness of the MMS solution. "A commercial launch was made during the last week of June and includes the possibility of e-mail interworking and receiving messages through a web page for subscribers who do not yet have MMS-enabled handsets," says Robert Krawczyk, Board Member and Director of Marketing and Sales at Plus GSM. "Our customers are able to compose and send media-rich messages to one another, and will soon be able to choose to have value-added messaging content delivered to their mobile devices. Plus GSM believes the greater functionality of MMS will be the starting point of a broader customer experience that will pave the way for 3G usage." Plus GSM was the first operator in Poland to launch MMS commercially. The price is 2 PLN per MMS, and the size of MMS can be up to 50 KB. The service is available to all subscribers without any activation or monthly fees. The charge is only for messages sent. Plus GSM subscribers can send MMS to mobiles and e-mail accounts. If a subscriber does not have an MMS phone, he or she is receives an SMS with information containing the name of the WWW page: foto.plusgsm.pl, and the unique login and password to that particular MMS. "Nokia's Multimedia Messaging system offers Plus GSM a solid foundation for launching a whole range of multimedia services, and we are very pleased to extend our long lasting co-operation with Polkomtel into this new exciting area," says Konrad Pancewicz, Account Manager, Nokia Poland. "Nokia offers a complete end-to-end solution with intelligent applications, support for legacy phones, middleware and MMS-enabled mobile terminals. With the Nokia solution operators can offer their customers numerous revenue-generating services and applications." - Eric -

Hmm, 10Mips per GSM time slot,10kbps, 200Mips 3G hardware... 20 timeslots?? and then a little EDGE.. What about 12,000Mips??? Brian T. Modoff Michael W. Thelander Daniel D. Kaplan, Deutsche Bank Securities August 2002 Next-generation phones will need to support multiple bands (e.g., 2000 MHz, 1800 MHz), multiple modes (WCDMA, GSM) and multiple modulation techniques (GMSK, QPSK), and handle multiple time slots with GPRS and EDGE in order to increase the data rate. Each of these functions places an additional burden on the DSPs (yes, there is more than one), the microprocessor, plus about 1 million additional ASIC gates for WCDMA processing.3 Motorola and Nokia both estimate that the radio channel processing requirements alone for WCDMA could reach 200 MIPS and that total MIPS requirements could reach as high as 12,000 MIPS. Although we have not seen any published numbers for MIPS, we believe similar processing power will be required for CDMA2000 (EV/DV). Ilmarinen Me thinks "the beam me down, scotty" base-earth.com is funny enough for this thread, -- Footprint. Ask any corporation or individual looking to lease property and they will tell you that property rental rates are at a premium, when and if they can find a location that satisfies their needs. Wireless operators face the same predicament. As they roll out their 3G networks, operators will require new locations where they can install their equipment (sometimes sharing a location with another operator). In many instances, the amount of available floor space will be limited, and in almost all cases it will cost them a king’s ransom. Thus, operators demand equipment that is compact and that can fit in a small place–in other words, the equipment needs a small footprint. --- nds1.nokia.com nds1.nokia.com nds1.nokia.com nds1.nokia.com nds1.nokia.com It is kind of not by accident 3G runs on those little 2-3GHz things, nor that it takes a mature 2G network to continue.
