3GSM - Third Generation GSM Networks

3GSM is the generic term used for the next generation of mobile communications services.
These new systems will provide enhanced services to those available today ie, voice, text and data. The concepts for 3GSM services are currently being developed across the industry and by global groups such as the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The GSM Association's vision of 3GSM is based on today's GSM standard, but evolved to include an additional radio air interface better suited to high speed and multimedia data services.

There will be a period in which second generation and third generation systems co-exist. In essence, third generation systems are based on second generation infrastructure and services, but offer a new radio interface, among other features. So your current mobile will continue to operate. It will be up to you whether you wish to access 3GSM services. If you do, you will need to upgrade.

Video on demand, high speed multimedia and internet access are just a few possibilities. The main benefit of third generation systems is that they will offer high end service capabilities, which include substantially enhanced capacity, quality and data rates than currently available. 3GSM services will also include concurrent usage of multiple services and bridge the gap between wireless and internet/computing.
