White Paper V800-Vodafone V802SE
15 August 2004
3G
Mobile telephony allowed us to talk on the move.
The Internet turned raw data into helpful services
that people found easy to use in their everyday
lives. Now, these two technologies are converging
to create third-generation mobile services.
In simple terms, 3G (third-generation) services
combine high speed radio access with IP (Internet
Protocol)-based services. This does not just mean
fast mobile connection to the Web, it means totally
new ways to communicate, access information,
conduct business, learn and be entertained. It
promises liberation from slow, cumbersome equip-
ment and immovable points of access.
Increased 3G data rates, together with extended
multimedia and entertainment content, will
enhance the use of mobile Internet in a revolution-
ary way. Gaming, and the ability to store content
externally with Sony Memory Stick Duo and Mem-
ory Stick PRO Duo, will increase the user benefits
even more.
The step towards IP is vital. IP is packet-based,
allowing users to be “on line” at all times, having to
pay only for the sent or received data. The connec-
tionless nature of IP also makes access a lot faster:
file downloads take less time and we can be con-
nected to a network within a few seconds.
3G introduces wideband radio communications,
with incredible access speeds. Compared with
today’s mobile networks, 3G will significantly boost
network capacity, much needed in densely popu-
lated areas – thus operators will be able to support
more users, as well as offer more sophisticated
services.
The V800-Vodafone V802SE is a dual mode phone.
Thus the user will be able to use his or her V800-
Vodafone V802SE without having to think about
which system is being used – the handover
between the two systems is going to be seamless.
Using 3G scenarios
3G will change our working habits and social lives
in many ways. The services that 3G has to offer will
help us to manage our personal information, sim-
plify tasks such as grocery shopping, make better
use of our time, and offer services that are just fun
to use. 3G will also help new, flexible working prac-
tices, such as working from home and remote
access to corporate networks outside traditional
working hours. Operators will be able to develop
innumerable new service opportunities to attract
and retain new customers:
• Business people can use the time they spend
travelling, fixing things that are usually hard to
get time for, for example to log on to their bank
account, check the balance and pay a few bills -
all through their 3G device.
• On vacation, people can make reservations
when they get to their destination by using their
3G handset to obtain up-to-date information,
including hotel vacancies. Having booked a
room, they can use their phone to view video
clips of local tourist attractions and talk to
someone from the local tourist information
bureau at the same time.
• Anyone wanting to hire a film, or go to the cin-
ema can quickly download a trailer to decide
which film they want to see.
• People travelling on business can use their 3G
mobile phone to hold a phone meeting with
their colleagues and, at the same time, view the
draft presentation and make changes on line.
• A maintenance engineer, repairing some equip-
ment at a client’s premises, has a problem.
Using his 3G mobile phone, he can contact his
department and then download a demonstra-
tion video that guides him through the repair
process.
• People can easily share a moment with their
friends and family in other geographical sites by
capturing the moment with the video recorder
and then sending them the video clip in a pic-
ture message.
