Abstract

UMTS standardization responds to service and mobility requirements for telecommunications after the year 2000. UMTS provides a global and seamless coverage for high quality and user-friendly services ranging from paging or speech up to video or high bit rate data. With the service-oriented open-system concept, flexible radio access system and uncompromized security, UMTS will be the revolutionary step toward third-generation new radio services. The UMTS can be implemented as a radically new system, or when planned over time, as an evolution of existing GSM-based or ISDN-based network components
