 What exactly is mobile telephony?

There is one U.S. Patent Number 887357 for a wireless telephone, issued
1908 to Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky. He applied this to
"cave radio" phones and not directly to cellular telephony as we know it
today (Source). However, the introduction of cells for mobile phone base
stations, invented in 1947 by Bell Labs engineers at AT&T, was further
developed by Bell Labs during the 1960s.

Radiophones have a long and varied history going back to Reginald

Fessenden's invention and shore-to-ship demonstration of radio
telephony, through the Second World War with military use of radio
telephony links and civil services in the 1950s, while hand-held cellular
radio devices have been available since 1983.

Due to their low establishment costs and rapid deployment, mobile phone
networks have since spread rapidly throughout the world, outstripping
the growth of fixed telephony.

 Mobile Telephony Industry and Software Providers?

Mobile telephony is a huge industry comprising of OEM’s (Mobile Handset

and Network Equipments), Test & Measurement Equipment Providers,
Mobile Network Integrators, Software solution providers and Hardware
Component Providers.

Mobile technology software solution provider plays a major role in mobile

telephony as software's are heart of all components.

It ranges from mobile chipset (protocol stack) software for mobile

handsets, drivers to run various applications and the applications which
runs on your mobile handsets e.g. SMS interpreter, WAP stacks,
Video/Audio player, Messengers etc, Network Management Software,
Network Analysers, Protocol Analysers, Billing & Mediation Softwares.

Softwares also resides at all mobile communication networks entities

ranging from Base Stations, Base station Controllers, Mobile Switching
Centres etc.

 Major Mobile Technology Players

Players in Mobile technology can be categorised into various

categories.

Handset OEM’s - The mobile phone manufacturers can be grouped

into two. The top five are available in practically all countries and
comprise about 75% of all phones sold. A second tier of small
manufacturers exists with phones mostly sold only in specific regions
or for niche markets. The top five in order of market share are Nokia,
Motorola, Samsung, SonyEricsson and LG.

Other mobile phone manufacturers include Apple Inc., Audiovox (now

UT Starcom), Benefon, BenQ-Siemens, High Tech Computer
Corporation (HTC), Fujitsu, Kyocera, LG Mobile, Mitsubishi, Motorola,
NEC, Neonode, Panasonic (Matsushita Electric), Pantech Curitel,

Ericsson, T&A Alcatel,Toshiba, and Verizon. There are also specialist
communication systems related to (but distinct from) mobile phones,
such as Professional Mobile Radio.

 Mobile Evolution – 0th Generation Mobile Services

In 1945, the zero generation (0G) of mobile telephones was introduced.

0G mobile telephones, such as Mobile Telephone Service, were not
officially categorized as mobile phones, since they did not support the
automatic change of channel frequency during calls, which allows the
user to move from one cell (the base station coverage area) to another
cell, a feature called "handover".

In 1970, Bell Labs invented such a "call handoff" feature, which allowed
mobile-phone users to travel through several cells during the same
conversation. Motorola is widely considered to be the inventor of the
first practical mobile phone for handheld use in a non-vehicle setting.
Using a modern, if somewhat heavy portable handset, Motorola
manager Martin Cooper made the first call on a handheld mobile phone
on April 3, 1973

 Mobile Evolution – 1st Generation Mobile Services

Analogue-only 1st generation mobile telephones, which have been

around since the early 1980s, operate within the 800 to 900 MHz
frequency bands. Each service provider can use half of the 824-849
MHz range for receiving signals from cellular phones and half the 869-
894 MHz range for transmitting to cellular phones. The division of the
spectrum into sub-bands is achieved by using frequency division
multiple access (FDMA).
FDMA-based cellular systems include the US-developed AMPS
(Advanced Mobile Phone Service) and UK's TACS (Total Access
Communications System). The UK TACS system is due to be phased out
by 2005.

 Mobile Evolution – 2nd Generation Mobile Services

The switch to digital transmission, which started in the late 1980s, with
introduction of time division multiple access (TDMA)

American D-AMPS (Digital Advanced Mobile Phone Services) are based

on this technology, using the same 800-900 MHz bands as AMPS
systems. These systems are also referred to as United States Digital
Cellular (USDC) systems.

In Europe, and much of the rest of the world, the Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) is used. GSM includes a short message
service (SMS) that allows messages of up to 160 characters to be
displayed on a small (e.g. 8-12 character by 2-10 lines) screen
integrated the phone. It includes a number of control channels that can
be used to exchange digital data at up to 9.6kb/s.

 Mobile Evolution – 2nd Generation Mobile Services

Introduced in 1995, the US PCS (Personal Communications Services)

are TDMA-based wireless phone services similar to GSM which place
emphasis on additional "personal" services such as paging, caller ID
and e-mail. These systems work in a higher bandwidth than AMPS
systems or GSM systems, around 1.9GHz.

Another group of 2nd generation services have adopted code division

multiple access (CDMA) as a more efficient way of increasing channel
capacity. CDMA services were first introduced in Hong Kong, one of
densest mobile telephone service areas in the world, at the end of
1995.

 Mobile Evolution – 2.5th Generation Mobile Services

The European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) has

developed a set of standards that define a General Packet Radio
Services (GPRS). GPRS will allow mobile devices to be connected via
their IP addresses. It will allow digital transmissions to be undertaken at
speeds up to 115kb/s per channel, using continuously enabled
connections that will only read the packets that are addressed to them.

Another new technology from ETSI is EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for
Global Evolution). This will allow GSM operators to use existing GSM
radio bands to offer wireless multimedia IP-based services and
applications at speeds up to 384kbit/s.

 Mobile Evolution – 3rd Generation Mobile Services

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is developing a new

generation of services as part of the IMT-2000 initiative. These services
will extend beyond those traditionally provided by phone companies, to
include services such as electronic commerce, mobile entertainment,
car maintenance and security services. Data rates of up to 2Mbps are
required for some of these services.

IMT-2000 will support both TDMA and CDMA. The cdma2000 air
interface standards, which were published at the end of March 2000,
allow CDMA technology to meet the requirements for 3rd
generation wireless communication systems. cdma2000 mobile
receivers will be able to place and receive calls on any 800 MHz CDMA
cellular mobile telecommunications system or 1.8 to 2.0 GHz CDMA PCS
system.

The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) will give new

and existing GSM operators the potential for a whole range of mobile
multimedia services. UMTS will provide broadband, packet-based
transmission of text, digitized voice, video and multimedia at data rates
up to 2Mb/s.

 Mobile Evolution – 3rd Generation Mobile Services

The key technology for UMTS will be the Wideband CDMA (W-CDMA)
standard developed by NTT DoCoMo as a follow-on from their existing I-
Mode services. W-CDMA has been optimized to provide very high-speed
multimedia services for Internet access and videoconferencing.

In May 1999 it was agreed that there should be three modes in the
harmonized 3rd generation CDMA standard; a direct-sequence mode for
W-CDMA, a multi-carrier mode for cdma2000 and a time division duplex
(TDD) CDMA mode.

UMTS has been allocated frequency bands 1885-2025 MHz within future
IMT-2000 systems, and 1980-2010 MHz and 2170-2200 MHz for the
satellite portion of UMTS systems.
