The wireless industry is currently undergoing a transition from 2nd Generation (2G) to 3rd Generation (3G) networks. Unlike 2G networks, the 3G networks will allow operators to offer high-speed wireless data services to their subscribers. The evolution of GSM, via GPRS to EDGE and WCDMA, is expected to serve at least 80% of the subscribers by 2005. Among handset, infrastructure, applications and content suppliers, the focus will therefore be on the GSM and WCDMA market, which will result in a large variety of products and services.
