  1. 3G/UMTS worldwide deployments Jean-Pierre Bienaimé …………………………………………………………………………… Chairman, UMTS Forum www.umts-forum.org

  2. Who are we? • An international, cross-sector industry body comprising operators, manufacturers, regulators, application developers, research organisations and IT industry players. Our mission… • To promote a common vision of the development of 3G/UMTS and of its evolutions, and to ensure its worldwide commercial success. Our publications • Since 1997, more than 40 reports on Spectrum & Regulation, 3G/UMTS vision, Customer behaviour, Market evolution & Forecasts, Technical studies & Implementation. Recent issues: Strategic Considerations for IMS – the 3G Evolution, Coverage Extension Bands for UMTS/IMT-2000 in the bands between 470-600 MHz, Magic Mobile Future 2010-2020… About The UMTS Forum

  3. 2005: The year of mass-market commercialisation for 3G Some big numbers… more than 50 million 3G subscribers worldwide (W-CDMA + CDMA2000 1xEV-DO) by Mid-Sept ‘05 more than 100 W-CDMA networks launched by Nov ‘05

  4. 3G/UMTS global update • 100+ W-CDMA networks in commercial service in over 40 countries with many others in trial/pre-launch (October 2005) • Over 35 million 3G/UMTS subscribers (October 2005) out of a global total exceeding 50 million 3G customers (WCDMA + EV-DO) • 145+ 3G/UMTS licenses awarded in 45 countries • W-CDMA take-up faster than GSM at the same stage

  5. 35 million 3G/UMTS subscribers Rest of World 4.1% Europe 42.2% Japan 53.7% EMC / SOFRECOM / UMTS Forum Member estimates October 2005

  6. Complementary strategies in Europe Several European operators are offering mobile broadband via a complementary mix of 3G/UMTS and other technologies including EDGE

  7. A global picture A significant number of American operators are already giving customers a taste of mobile broadband services via EDGE

  8. 50 million 3G customers worldwideW-CDMA now exceeds EV-DO by a factor of 2 (Sep.05) 33.0 million 17.0 4.4 2.7 Sources: EMC, operators

  9. 3G/UMTS Terminals • Over 220 3G/UMTS terminals and PC cards (Nov.05) commercially available or announced by a growing range of European, Asian and US manufacturers • Latest models compare with 2G handsets in terms of battery life, weight and size

  10. A clear roadmap As a complete mobile system standardised in 3GPP, 3G/UMTS offers a clearly-defined evolutionary path to higher data speeds, greater capacity and increased functionality to support new services • 3GPP Release 6 enhances earlier iterations to bring customers a step closer to the complete "3G experience” • High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) maximises operators’ available spectrum resources, offering high symmetrical data rates and reduced latency, while reducing delivery costs per bit • Phase II of the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) ensures smooth interworking with other core networks, and enables operators to offer multimedia services built on Internet applications, services and protocols • Interworking with WLAN gives users the greatest flexibility in choosing how they communicate • plus MBMS, enablers for Push to talk over Cellular (PoC) and more…

  11. 3G Operator Evolution Options 3G/UMTS PDC 4.5% HSDPA/ HSUPA TD-CDMA TD-SCDMA GSM GPRS 73.5% W-CDMA 90%+ TDMA EDGE 8% CDMA One CDMA2000 1x EV-DV CDMA2000 1x RTT 14% CDMA2000 1x EV-DO ENHANCED 3G 2G 2.5G 3G

  12. 3G/UMTS service evolution roadmap • Future enhancements to UMTS (3GPP Release 5 & 6): • HSDPA (High speed downlink packet access) increases downlink speeds to 14.4 Mbps, and 5.8 Mbps for HSUPA (uplink) • IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) provides advanced IP capabilities for mobile multimedia services • Multimedia Broadcast / Multicast Service (MBMS) • Interworking with other networks such as DAB and DVB will take advantage of content offerings that can be delivered efficiently to mobile devices GSM GPRS Rel 99 Rel 4 Rel 5 Rel 6 New services and applications are already being introduced on today’s 2G and 2.5G networks, giving operators and customers an early taste of the capabilities of 3G/UMTS

  13. HSDPAThe next step in evolution of the 3GPP air interface HSDPA = high speed mobile broadband, enabling a wide variety of high bandwidth multimedia services including: - high quality streaming video, - fast downloads of high resolution images and large files, - interactive e-mails & gaming, - telematics,… • Compared with WCDMA, HSDPA: • increases throughput (2→14.4 Mbps): total and average per user • reduces latency • increases data capacity up to 5x in dense urban environments (micro-cells)

  14. The first wave…Operators in Europe, Asia Pacific and USA that have announced their HSDPA plans • EUROPE • Orange (France, UK) • T-Mobile • Mobilkom Austria • Hutchison 3G • O2 • Vodafone • SFR • Bouygues • Telenor • Telfort • TEM • TIM • ASIA PACIFIC • NTT DoCoMo • Vodafone KK • KTF • SKT • Telstra • NORTH AMERICA • Cingular AT&T Announcements suggest HSDPA launches in 2006… plus HSUPA launches from 2007

  15. Location Based Traffic Guide Multiplayer Online Games Buffered Personalised Infotainment Interactive Mobile TV Passive Mobile TV No Interactivity Interactivity enabled Interactivity enabled Interactivity enabled Interactivity enabled Mobile Broadcast Service Categories Scheduled TV Programme Video Streaming News, Magazine, Learning Lessons, Movie Guide, Local Event Guide Quiz, Role-play, Strategy-, Sport-, Adventure- Games Scheduled Programme with Return Channel for Interactivity Car Navigation Support with Real-time Traffic Information

  16. Mobile broadcast technologies Adding value to the 3G/UMTS user experience • 3G/UMTS launches are stimulating greater demand for live TV and video downloads • ‘One to many’ broadcast transmission of multimedia content promises to deliver an enhanced 3G/UMTS user experience, with more efficient use of finite spectrum resources • ‘MBMS’ enabling Broadcast and Multicast modes is specified in 3GPP • In parallel with this, trials based on the DVB-H standard (proposed by ETSI and based on existing terrestrial broadcasting standards) are already underway • First DVB-H handsets expected within next 12 months

  17. DVB-H and MBMS Serve Complementary Needs DVB-H MBMS 0-64 kbps “Cost optimizing” 64-512 kbps “Service enabling” MMS info & streaming Goal of the Day, mLearning, Real-time traffic info, News, Weather,.. TV with/without interaction / Pervasive multiplayer games Movie Trailers / City Guide • MBMS is a feature for GERAN/UTRAN • DVB-H-operates within 174-862 MHz

  18. Mobile broadcast enables a new value chain Mobile broadcasting potentially creates a new value chain, with operators being the main interface between consumers and content providers, and gaining new revenues from interactive TV programming & advertising

  19. What do customers want?Focusing on customer’s personal experience 3G segmentation – some examples of services & user categories (SKT): - Communications - High end - Entertainment - 13-18 years - Information - 18-25 years - Enterprise applications - 25-35 years - Banking - Enterprise users - Married women A Chinese market survey ranked these services in order of customer preference: 7. Instant Messaging 8. Online games 9. Location Based Services 10. Multimedia e-mail 11. M-Banking 12. Others 1. News 2. Videophony 3. Video downloads 4. Music downloads 5. Mobile TV 6. Mobile Internet

  20. Asia’s example… leading the way with 3G • JAPAN • Building on the success of the world’s first fully commercialised W-CDMA network • Rapid adoption of mobile multimedia services, e.g. huge demand for 3D games • Wide range of feature-rich handsets plus choice of tariffs – backed by strong operator promotion and education • KOREA • Dazzling success of mobile entertainment services (games, MP3 music, mobile TV…) • Usage stimulated by easy-to-browse portals with ‘hotkey’ access on handsets • Continuing technical innovation, e.g. multi-mode mobile broadcasting (S-DMB in parallel with live TV via 3G) • CHINA • Immense untapped potential in a population of 1.3 billion…
