  4. UMTS: A concept born in RACE • UMTS Task Force (led to UMTS Forum) • Requirements for Third Generation • Allocation of FPLMTS (now IMT-2000) spectrum at WARC 92 • RACE II projects: CODIT and ATDMA • Advanced high data rate systems http://www.umts-forum.org

  5. UMTS: a system developed in ACTS • FRAMES (=>ETSI) • 3 proposal out of the 5 considered in ETSI • 2 proposals retained in the historic agreement of January 98 • W-CDMA (FDD) • TD/CDMA (TDD) • RAINBOW (=> ITU-T) • backbone network considerations • Radio Dependent and Radio Independent parts

  6. UMTSHow to replicate the success of GSM? Commitment to R&D EC’s UMTS Communications Consensus Building Joint UMTS Decision CEPT Mandates

  8. Penetration in Europe (end September 98)

  9. Europe-GSM vs Analogue

  10. EU vs USA vs Japan Penetration (end 97) 22% 15% 23% 60% Growth since 95 138% 525%

  11. To ensure the success of UMTS • A single, open, globally competitive standard... • technical proposals evaluated by ETSI to select the best solution for submission to ITU ...building upon Second Generation legacy • leveraging existing infrastructure • Harmonised pan-European deployment... • co-ordinated availability, licensing and use of spectrum to ensure pan-European services and roaming ...driven by the market • timely and with the right degree of competition • Harness support of current players and welcome new ones • to better face the risks associated with new technology and the inherent market uncertainties

  12. UMTSMember of the IMT-2000 Family • Third Generation systems are considered from a global perspective by ITU => IMT-2000 • UMTS will be a full member of the IMT-2000 family • UMTS standard will be established in co-operation with other regional standards bodies • Full support to the ITU process UMTS will be a truly global Third Generation system

  13. UMTS Decision • Decision sets the regulatory framework for UMTS. Other systems are not addressed. • The decision does not make UMTS the sole system that can be licensed. • Neither the European Commission nor the Member States dictate the choice of a particular technology or standard. The choice is the exclusive responsibility of ETSI. • The process in ETSI is transparent, fair and non discriminatory and the decision on UTRA was taken by full consensus. • The European Commission supports the competition of technologies during the standardisation process. These are decisions taken by industrial players. • 3rd Generation candidate systems other than UMTS may obtain recognition through ETSI

  14. UMTS European Timetable February 1999 • Mandates to CEPT for further spectrum allocation • One-stop-shopping procedure for services where necessary Early 2000 • WRC-2000 (decision on extending the IMT-2000 band) 1 Jan 2002 • Provision of basic UMTS services 2005 • Full UMTS service provision

  15. Conclusions • The European Commission is committed to support a successful preparation and deployment of UMTS, not forgetting the need for continued R&D in this area • The Commission is aware of the essential and critical role of ETSI in this process • TheCouncilcalls on the Industry, in particular through the UMTS Forum, to lead the development of UMTS from a Global perspective • The Member States are called upon to transpose into national law the UMTS Decision in all its consequences, and to timely free the necessary spectrum and establish the licensing procedures in a harmonised manner

  16. Conclusions • Anticipating the needs of the citizens, global roaming • Preserving and securing the competitiveness of industry and the excellence of its scientists and technologists • Meeting the internal market objectives, economic integration, no market fragmentation, economies of scale,scope and integration • Providing for sustainable growth and job creation • Achieving a presence in global wireless information society • Leaving technology and standards choices to the industrial actors • Maintaining ITU as a catalyst of progress and focal point for debate • Contributing to global co-operation
