3. 3G – Be Technologized
… What’s that?
What is Technologized?
What is 3G?
4. What is Technologized?
“be technologized” is a matter of ability to grab the
opportunities delivered by the technology
To be able to grab the opportunities …….
…… we need to know what are the opportunities avail.
To be able to know what are available ….
…… we need to study the TECHNOLOGY
5. NOW …
What is 3G?
G = Generation; 3G is the third generation of the cellular
technology development
If there is 3G; there should be 1G and 2G.
1G = the first generation of Cellular telecommunication technology,
still using the analog technology (NMT technology = Mobisel,
AMPS technology = Komselindo)
2G = the 2nd generation, using digital technology but still focus in
voice (GSM technology = Telkomsel, Indosat, XL)
3G = the 3rd generation using digital technology and already focus
on data and voice (WCDMA = CAC?, LippoTelcom? And CDMA
20001X EVDO = mobile8, TelkomFlexi?, Star1?)
6. What about GPRS and EDGE?
Transition Technology >>> 2.5G, 2,75G
Some people categorize GPRS and CDMA2000 1X
as 2.5G
Some people categorize EDGE and CDMA2000 1X
EVDO as 2.75G
Some people categorize CDMA2000 1X EVDO as
3G, in fact it is 3G in JAPAN
7. Today’s Situation
Nobody understand clearly what is 3G technology
Customer is confused
Incumbent Cellular Operator is waiting
New Comers is scared
Vendor is un-patience
Government is still in learning mode
Let’s see 3G in more detail …
8. Let’s see 3G in more detail …
The Technology (Network part) –
The vehicle
The Needs (Socio-Technology part) –
The Services
The Environment (Business-Technology part) –
The business system
9. The Technology (Network Part)
The Vehicle
The Two common approach:
Frequency band Approach
Services Delivered Approach

line
People use their mobile devices
to integrate their schedule and
calendar with the services
available on line
People use their mobile device
to control remote equipment

19. What should be done to get 3G
available properly?
Cellular Operator needs to change their business model by
separating the NETWORK provider and SERVICE provider
Service should be broke down into VOICE&SMS services and
CONTENT services
CONTENT service provider should learn The TECHNOLOGY
(the vehicle) and the NEEDS (the services)
The NETWORK provider and VENDOR handset need to work
together to support the CONTENT service provider delivering
the services
The NETWORK PROVIDER and CONTENT PROVIDER need
to create smooth ENVIRONMENT (the business system)
20. What you can do to get 3G available
properly?
Learn the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME), or BREW, or any
other programming language for mobile application
Learn the NEEDS; the needs for youngsters, businessmen, or etc.
Create business plan for a CONTENT provider to serve the NEEDS
Seeks support from the operators to start the business
