Plastic
Roaming
|
- Roaming between GSM and W-CDMA
networks
- 3G behavior when inserted in a 3G
mobile and bi-mode
- GSM behavior when inserted in a GSM
only mobile.
|
|
Corporate Services
|
3G will provide Virtual
Wireless PBX (Private Branch Exchange):
- Unified messaging
- Welcome center
- Filtering of incoming calls by an
assistant,
- Rerouting,
- Voice mailbox
- Corporate directory
- Number programming
- Multiple simultaneous and always on
connections
|
|
Virtual
Enterprise
|
|
More flexible modus operandi
Virtual teams
Virtual enterprises: will provide
over-the-air services to their employees
Virtual networks

The card contains:
- All the user?s identification data
- The user?s PKI certificates
It allows the user to:
- Access his applications and data
- Give orders
- Sign documents
It guarantees
- Identity
- Privacy
- Integrity
- Non-repudiation
|
|
Multimedia
|
|
Real time: video phoning, video
conferencing, 3G will provide enough bandwidth to enable real time
imaging
Moving image not in real time:
choose a product, select a film after viewing a trailer, download
video clips
Fixed images not in real time:
add images or conversation like an electronic postcard. Possibility of
downloading and listening to music in MP3 format. Electronic books,
reviews or daily newspapers.
|
- the ideal method of storing books,
songs and clips on the user?s PC or at a remote data warehouse
- identifies the user as the regulated
owner
- manages the different copyrights on
books, music and video.
- will be synchronization-ready, which
will allow the user to synchronize the different data scattered on
his different devices (PC, PDA etc.).
|
|
Transactions
|
The device and the card will
be used:
- for e-commerce transactions on line
- to pay for all the more traditional
purchases replacing money and credit cards in shops.
|
- The best media in which to store the
user?s different payment protocols, PKI certificates and
electronic signature
- As the 3G card is multi-task, the UICC
platform supports the USIM application and is open to others like
EMV.
|
|
Gaming
|
|
Traditional games available on a virtual
network (horse racing, gambling etc.)
Network gaming (chess parties, Formula 1
racing)
|
- Will keep the user?s settings
- Allow him to pick up where he left off
on many different devices (PC, PDA and Phone)
- Used for mutual authentication,
synchronization and integrity checks.
|
|
Personal
Area Network (PAN)
|
- The user?s personal device will
identify him to his computer, his garage door, his car and his home,
his company?s access control system and his data warehouse.
- It will provide him with a virtual
home environment when on the move.
|
- In case of loss or theft, the
information stored on the card is perfectly secure.
- Only the owner of the card can be
identified in all the applications due to the high levels of
security and authentication features.
|
|
The
Ultimate Personal Assistant
|
|
Fractional devices which will enable the
user to wear his computer
Bluetooth technology will link all parts
of the devices with no need for cables. It will allow the user to
create his personal environment: the PAN (Personal Area Network).
|
- The card will securely store all the
user?s keys, subscriptions and signature.
- It gives the user the freedom to
change devices and make repairs without jeopardizing his data.
- Secure local links

See several examples of 3G
applications on Nokia site.
Providing a Premium network to end users in the
business segment
The allocation of new frequencies for 3G is
likely to attract many end users in the business segment wanting:
- Basic services (voice)
- A premium network without congestion
- Data connexion using the phone as a modem
Some applications already existing in 2G and
2.5G (GPRS) including:
- Web browsing
- E-mail
- M-commerce
will be easier to use and more convenient thanks
to the higher speed of data transmission available over 3G.
For nomad workers, 3G devices provide the means
for a more efficient and convenient approach to "hot-desking" by
enabling the user to use them as their main and only terminal.
You will have a 3G multimedia-oriented terminal providing all the services you
need.
As well operating as a normal telephone, it can forward all calls directly to
your remote assistant which can take a message or transfer it to another
extension if necessary. Moreover, you will have only one number, one voice mail
and one directory.
Regarding user?s transactions, the phone will be able to credit the
shopkeeper?s bank account while sending a message of proof of purchase to the
Shopkeeper?s own mobile screen.
The effect on the boundaries will be immense. All
telecommunication terms such as LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area
Network) will disappear to make way for a Global Wireless Network.
The users will increasingly look for accurate
information.
Thanks to 3G, operators can build up customer
profiles based on age, location, interests etc.
By analyzing their customers? behaviors and
providing 3G compliant cards to 2G users, operators can propose tailor-made
services, thus manage the risk of churn.
Moreover, new services can be delivered
virtually using an Over-The-Air platform, which provides the users with a
more flexible service.

3G devices will have been designed to
interact between different terminals with different shapes such as mobile
phones with larger screens, digital cameras, PDA, videophones, etc.
The new market segmentation will be driven
by application or by end user including:
- Multimedia
- Children
- Business
- Pets, etc.
Have a look on Future
terminal design on Nokia site
The next few months will see the emergence of the
following applications for 3GPP:
- SATK control over terminal local link
(Bluetooth, IRDA, RS232, USB port)
- Extension of the Bearer Independent feature
- Evolution of the phonebook toward a personal
database
- Fast terminal-card interface (USB, enhanced
T=1, New card protocol)
