Research and Markets: Australia - Mobile Communications - 3G Infrastructure

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/1a262c/australia_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Australia - Mobile Communications - 3G Infrastructure" report to their offering.

The development of 3G cellular radio systems began in the early 1990s. 3G services generally operate in the 1885-2025MHz and 2110-2200MHz frequency bands. There is no single global 3G standard and in Australia mobile networks are based on the most widely used 3G technology known as UMTS / WCDMA (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System / Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). Deploying 3G networks enabled mobile operators to offer new, high-bandwidth services such as video calling and mobile broadband. This report provides high level information on the 3G networks and the mobile sites in Australia, it also provides an analysis of the infrastructure issues.

With 58 per cent of subscribers using 3G services, the market is characterized by a high take-up of mobile value-added services across enterprise mobility and consumer segments. Designed to provide both voice and data services to end-users, 3G mobile networks differ from GSM and CDMA networks currently operating in Australia in that they provide higher bandwidth data services, allowing consumers access to a new range of content and applications. These 3G networks can provide access to data and the internet through either a mobile handset; a mobile handset functioning as a modem for a laptop or personal computer (plugged into the laptop or PC); or a data card that is inserted into a laptop or PC.
