2.5G and 3G Wireless Networks

A new breed of wireless networks with higher speed and capacity than 2G that are being planned, designed and deployed in different countries now (2002). These networks

are in higher frequency band (2 GHz and beyond) with larger bandwidth (around 5 MHZ) than 2G
will provide higher speeds up to 2 Mbps in a fixed or stationary wireless environment and at 384 Kbps in a mobile environment. With this increased speed and capacity, these networks will support more voice subscribers and more bandwidth-intensive multi-media applications like MMS
hope to converge towards one international standard for 3G. This is unlikely to be fulfilled soon because of vendors' self interests, existing infrastructure dependencies and migration steps like 2.5G GSM/GPRS, 1xRTT CDMA, Edge, etc. before a common UMTS network becomes pervasive
