For technical details on UMTS and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and their common names, see UMTS frequency bands. Networks on the global UMTS-bands 1 and 8 are suitable for global roaming in ITU Regions 1, 2 (some countries) and 3. Networks on UMTS-bands 2 and 4 allow roaming in ITU Region 2 (Americas) only.
The UMTS frequency bands are radio frequencies used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System networks. They were allocated by delegates to the World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC-92) held in Málaga-Torremolinos, Spain between 3 February 1992 and 3 March 1992. [ 1 ]
The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is a 3G mobile cellular system for networks based on the GSM standard. Developed and maintained by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), UMTS is a component of the International Telecommunication Union IMT-2000 standard set and compares with the CDMA2000 standard set for networks based on the competing cdmaOne technology.
The UMTS channels are communication channels used by third generation (3G) wireless Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) networks. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] UMTS channels can be divided into three levels:
UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) is a collective term for the network and equipment that connects mobile handsets to the public telephone network or the Internet. It contains the base stations, which are called Node B 's and Radio Network Controllers (RNCs) [ 1 ] which make up the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS ...
As a more recent example the Apple iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S support quad-band GSM at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, quad-band UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, and dual-band CDMA EV-DO Rev. An at 800/1900 MHz, for a total of 'six' different frequencies (though at most four in a single mode).
For technical details on LTE and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and roaming possibilities, see LTE frequency bands. Bands 33 to 44 are assigned to TDD-LTE. Note: This list of network deployments does not imply any widespread deployment or national coverage.
This category is for articles describing features unique to only UMTS networks. If the article is describing a feature implemented in more than one type of 3GPP network and defined by 3GPP, put it in Category:3GPP standards. An example of this is a feature implemented in both GSM and UMTS networks, or a feature that interfaces GSM and UMTS ...
