Not only was GSM one of the last of the big EU industrial policy interventions it turned out to be its most successful – a text book case of how to create wealth, jobs, know-how and huge consumer benefits from intervening in the future directions of national infrastructures on a co-ordinated EU wide basis.

This is a new free book by Stephen Temple CBE based upon an account he recorded at the time of what exactly was going on behind the scenes that led to Europe coming behind the GSM initiative that ignited the mobile phone revolution.

Whilst is is largely an historical account which will be of interest to many, it may also be useful today to show Governments just how they can help industry by creating new opportunities. So the last chapter of the book is - could Europe create another GSM?

The objective of the author is to place on public record a great piece of European industrial history and one of Europe's most successful high technology projects.

LTE has emerged as the global standard of choice for fourth generation mobile communications, says Alan Hadden, President, Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA)

The number of companies investing in LTE has grown dramatically in recent months, according to a new report by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA).

2008 was the year of HSPA, with strong growth in network deployments and terminal availability. 2009 will see a move to HSPA+.

The first Evolved HSPA (HSPA+) systems are now entering commercial service, with the capability of supporting 21 Mbps peak on the downlink using 64QAM modulation. Peak downlink speeds this year are expected to reach 42 Mbps peak when 2x2 MIMO is added. An evolution of the uplink data speeds will also occur, from 2 Mbps and 5.8 Mbps which we have today with HSPA, to 11.5 Mbps (using 16QAM), and higher with MIMO. LTE is the next evolutionary step, continuing the GSM tradition of delivering even greater efficiencies, capacity, features and performance by evolution as the cornerstone for reducing delivery cost and total cost of ownership, continuing growth, investment, and commercial success.

Alan Hadden, President of the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), casts an eye over Europe's HSPA landscape

This interview first appeared in Mobile Communications Europe, published by Informa Telecoms & Media (www.informatm.com)

As HSPA penetration grew, mobile broadband came of age in 2007. Dozens of networks launched, the technology matured and devices became mainstream. But that’s not the whole story. WCDMA growth is being boosted by migration to new frequency bands, EDGE is supporting service continuity and the GSM family as a whole is reaching new milestones. These achievements have been promoted and supported throughout the year by the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA).

The next stage of the evolution of GSM is in progress, with deployments of HSDPA under way in a number of markets, ushering in a new era in mobile broadband. But GSM had another important role in 2006, bringing basic communications to under-served populations. Promoting both these aspects of the world’s favourite mobile standard have this year been central to the Global mobile Suppliers Association’s work in supporting, informing and advising industry and policymakers.

As GSM subscriber numbers power towards the second billion and WCDMA take-up accelerates, there is much to celebrate. However, as the activities of the Global mobile Suppliers Association during 2005 make clear, there is also a continuing need to spread the word about the benefits and opportunities of GSM and its continuing development.

It didn't seem likely, but vendors are now claiming that every European operator is considering EDGE and even going so far as to declare the discussions over. Keith Dyer reviews how the race was run.

Le prochain "3GSM World Congress" viendra sans doute confirmer cette analyse et, comme le souligne Alan Hadden (lire notre Entretien), mieux vaut tenir compte des retours d'expérience pour répondre aux attentes du marché...
