 From GSM to BWA - available Wireless Techniques

Today’s major used techniques

„ GSM (incl. GPRS, EDGE, HSCSD,… ) + UMTS

z The Global System for Mobile Communications, GSM is
the most popular standard for mobile phones in the world.
GSM is a cellular network which means that mobile phones
connect to it by searching for cells in the immediate vicinity
Major application: Æ Voice, but also IP-Data with increasing
data rates possible
„ Wireless LAN
z Wi-Fi (also WiFi, wifi, etc.) is a brand originally licensed by
the Wi-Fi Alliance® to describe the underlying technology of
wireless local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE
802.11 specifications. It was developed to be used for mobile
computing devices such as laptops, in LANs, but is now
increasingly used for more services, including Internet and
VoIP phone access,
„ WiMax
z WiMAX is defined as Worldwide Interoperability for
Microwave Access by the WiMAX Forum, formed in June
2001 to promote conformance and interoperability of the
IEEE 802.16 standard, officially known as WirelessMAN
Æ Major application: Æ IP Data, Voice via IP
