LTE is going to win WiMax

June 20, 2008

Nortel, Alvarion in wireless pact | biz.yahoo.com

LTE is going to win WiMax because LTE is a part of the 3GPP. WiMax is mainly supported by Intel that has never been successful in the wireless industry. Practically, I don’t see a mobile user, with 2 or 4 or even 4 inch screen, using more than 10Mbps on his device. Given that most of the fancy devices out there today (including RIMM, iPhone, and others) are basically 2G devices. Field measurements will prove less the 100kbps in those devices, and we all pretty happy with that. Today’s 3GPP UMTS standard could support about 10Mbps, and it’s not very well accepted all over the world. So, let’s be reasonable: why?

Apple’s iPhone 3G - end of the marriage Apple – ATT

June 20, 2008

Apple may soon be free from AT&T | news.cnet.com

The new iPhone is a 3G UMTS HSDPA capable device does not have a lock-unlock mechanism. The UMTS standard, is a universal standard. By definition UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Terrestrial System. Therefore, the lock-unlock mechanism is not required anymore. The GSM-GPRS-EDGE iPhone, which was Appl’s first generation design, was locked to a particular network. In the USA, exclusivity granted to ATT and therefore a third party software needed to activate a phone on the network.   Within the 3G phone, this process is not needed and every 3G, backward compatible with 2G, network could use the device.
