Broadband access – Improved Perception Download time mp3 file (~4MB) GPRS EDGE WCDMA User perception is crucial for data demanding services and applications Evolved WCDMA • End user behaviour will change depended on available bit pipe. • This has been seen with the introduction of ISDN and ADSL compared to analogue connections (V90).
Increased usage due to faster access and higher data rates Faster bearers will increase the mobile data usage and warrant take off
Transition from GSM Data to Wireless Broadband Access is smooth Seamless Network functionality warrants service continuity Traffic Control ensures optimal utilization of GSM and WCDMA systems Wireless Broadband Access will boost usage and revenues… Summary
