tion in 2003, UMA technol-
ogy has made quantum leaps.
How do you gauge the devel-
opments in the industry?
the consumer greater wireless cov-
erage and ultimately fewer dropped
calls. A single mobile device with
one number anywhere in the world
you go is now a reality on numerous
networks. Operators may begin to
fully utilize investments from dif-
ferent network technologies such as
Wi-Fi and 3G in a complementary
fashion while offering flexible and
compelling consumer tariffs.
views on UMA/GAN as a ma-
jor technology that is revolu-
tionizing the mobile phone
industry?
WiMAX and UMB, that will be in-
tegral to the future of all IP wireless
networks. With these, traffic moves
over a point-to-point IP network,
such as voice using VoIP technol-
ogy and complex authentication and
channel security algorithms. The
ability to handover between differing
access networks is also considered a
key requirement for new wireless
network roll outs. UMA/GAN is here
today and this technology is now al-
lowing the industry to use these fea-
tures and finally realize the digital
convergence.
