The
Third Generation of services and technology for mobile telephony allows
advanced services because it has a better spectral efficiency, and that
leads to the transmission of large sets of data in a quick way. Transmission
rates can get as fast as 2 Mbps. This speed and reach allow, for example,

is to provide a greater user capacity, higher data rates and, where
possible, worldwide compatibility ... full
