With regard to mobile data, not just the typical pattern of use by today's businessmen on the move shall be addressed: Today's GSM-networks are also used by many consumers for the largest growing mobile data application of the late 1990's, SMS. Therefore, the new mobile data technologies need to address both consumer groups, the private customer and the business user. In the first instance, most network operators intend to attract their high-end business subscribers, their long term goal being, however, to bring high speed mobile data to the mass market.
Applications for High Speed Mobile Data
Today, many business and marketing experts worldwide are seeking the ultimate "killer application" to justify the huge investments in high speed data upgrades and 3G-technology. People generally focus on e-mail, file transfer and accessing the WWW for the usual internet transactions when considering applications for high speed mobile data. These applications will, of course, be important but there will also be new applications which will suit the specific needs of mobile usage. Despite this, many new applications will only come into being when the mobile networks have been upgraded. For those applications, the mobile device, as we know it, will not be deployed. However, even today, entirely new mobile data applications that do not involve the common mobile user or usage are already emerging.
Problems of High Speed Mobile Data
High speed mobile data will certainly improve the existing mobile networks greatly. GPRS and EDGE, in particular, will write a new chapter in mobile communications history. However, there are various problems which need addressing in order to make high speed mobile data a commercial success. Firstly, who shall provide all the necessary IP-addresses when many people are permanently online? Even today, a shortage of IP addresses is becoming evident. The only solution to this issue is an upgrade to IP version 6 but the question is when IP version 6 become a reality will.
Conclusion
High speed mobile data will certainly improve the existing mobile networks greatly. GPRS and EDGE, in particular, will write a new chapter in mobile communications history. Currently, almost all network operators worldwide are upgrading their GSM networks in order to provide high speed mobile data to their subscribers. HSCSD is a circuit-switched technology. Therefore, one of its major advantages is that the existing core network, mainly the MSC, is able to handle HSCSD traffic. As opposed to GPRS, HSCSD neither requires a hardware upgrade within the network, nor does it introduce new channel coding technologies. Therefore, HSCSD is a rather simple upgrade of the standard GSM, particularly in comparison with GPRS and EDGE.
