After GSM : Seminar Proceedings, 7th December 1995

The market for mobile communication services is growing fast.

The second generation of mobile systems are now entering service with users around the world and enjoying unprecedented levels of commercial success.

With short to medium-term development and strategy planning in mind, this European Union-sponsored seminar looked forward to the next generation of mobile communication systems.

The papers in the proceedings, in the form of overheads, covered: an opening address - considerations on new mobile and personal communications services; organizations driving third-generation systems; operators' view of third-generation systems; manufacturers' view of third-generation systems; evolution from second- to third-generation system radio links; end-user applications that should be available on third-generation systems; and reports on the major issues, trends and conclusions that emerged at the RACE Mobile Summit.
