Mobile Wireless Technology

Paper Summary:

This paper explains how there is significant consensus in market research that the world will witness dramatic growth in the so-called wireless data market in terms of number of users and, of course, the revenues they generate. This paper examines some of these future projections in terms of sales and production and discusses how the push to see a return on that investment will likely influence how the different players in the industry relate to each other.

From the Paper:

"The evolution of popular wireless technologies began with relatively simple mobile phones, and has progressed into feature-rich cell phones and hand-held computers that seek to put the best of the Web into the hands of away-from-home consumers. The analog operating system is called Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS). Most of the world's cellular phones, however, are digital. Unlike the analog phones, digital phones use a number of operating systems which are, importantly, incompatible with each other. Cellular phone manufacturers Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and Phone.com combined resources in the late 1990s to develop the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). This consumer desire was not limited to phones, however. Analog phones utilize first-generation, or 1G, technology. There are four key players on the wireless landscape. They are: mobile operators, content providers, handset makers and, of course, customers themselves. The current trend is for leading mobile operators to dictate mobile phone specifications to the manufacturers, so that the products match the services offered."
