Burst DL data rates increase from 2.45 Mbps to 3.1 Mbps and UL burst rates increase from 153 kbps to 1.8 Mbps. 2G/2.5G Second and two-point-five generation cellular wireless technologies. These include TDMA, GSM, GPRS, and CDMA. 3G Third generation mobile communications technology, as defined by the ITU, provides a global standard for cellular networks capable of handling live video calls and data access at broadband speeds. 3G includes EDGE, CDMA 2000, and UMTS. A handful of carriers are moving from GPRS to EDGE and from CDMA to CDMA 2000 and CDMA EVDO, but the most popular global 3G standard is UMTS. 3GPP The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a collaboration agreement that was established in December 1988 to bring together a number of telecommunications standards bodies to produce globally applicable 3G standards. Current participating standards bodies include ARIB, CCSA, ETSI, ATIS, TTA and TTC. 3GPP2- 3G Partnership Project 2 The Third Generation Partnership Project 2 is a collaborative third generation (3G) telecommunications specifications-setting project that comprises of North American and Asian interests developing global wireless specifications. 3GPP LTE A project within the 3GPP to improve the UMTS standard in terms of efficiency, cost, services, spectrum usage and standard interoperability. Targets include 100 Mbps download speed, 50 Mbps upload speed, sub 5ms latency, increased spectrum flexibility and coexistence with legacy standards such as GSM, GPRS, EDGE and UMTS.
