3G wireless seems to be all about new technology, multibillion-dollar expansions and high-wire international finance deals with little or no discussion of service offerings or value propositions. Surely investors know what this could lead to, so why is most of the wireless world making this huge bet on 3G?
One important motivation: 3G is more efficient and simply works better. Since it is packet-based it uses wireless spectrum more efficiently than first- or second-generation systems. This is particularly important for data communications because of the discontinuous and bursty nature of the traffic. Secondly, a packet-based system can send and receive messages (and calls) simultaneously from two or more cell sites while 2G systems choose the “best” site and stay locked on it until the signal is handed off. The packet-by-packet approach provides more reliable and better quality communications by a statistical hedging process similar to the portfolio theory of stock market investing. (more…)
