Taster Version for Joe Public What is Mobile Marketing? The Mobile Marketing Association defines “Mobile Marketing” as: “ Mobile Marketing is a set of practices that enables organizations to communicate and engage with their audience in an interactive and relevant manner through any mobile device or network “ Integrating Traditional Marketing Traditional marketing can now be leveraged with a mobile enhancement either in the delivery of, or the call to action, in the message. More and more marketers are combining traditional methods of marketing with mobile. Packaging Radio Outdoor TV PointEvents of Sale Online Print The real power of Mobile Marketing is that Mobile Marketers must respect the user’s right to control which mobile messages they receive. This can simply be obtained by using an “opt-in” mechanism or landing page, where the user chooses to opt-in to receiving the marketing communication from the marketer. This can be achieved in a number of ways, as we shall see including: Email, SMS, Web Forms, Voice Request and more. © Fraser J. Hay, 2011 8

Taster Version for Joe Public The History, The Platforms, The Players…According to wikipedia.org -1G (or 1-G) refers to the first-generation of wireless telephone technology, mobiletelecommunications. These are the analog telecommunications standards thatwere introduced in the 1980s and continued until being replaced by 2G digitaltelecommunications. The main difference between two succeeding mobiletelephone systems, 1G and 2G, is that the radio signals that 1G networks use areanalog, while 2G networks are digital.2G (or 2-G) is short for second-generation wireless telephone technology. Secondgeneration 2G cellular telecom networks were commercially launched on the GSMstandard in Finland by Radiolinja (now part of Elisa Oyj) in 1991. Three primarybenefits of 2G networks over their predecessors were that phone conversationswere digitally encrypted; 2G systems were significantly more efficient on thespectrum allowing for far greater mobile phone penetration levels; and 2Gintroduced data services for mobile, starting with SMS text messages.3G or 3rd Generation, Application services include wide-area wireless voice telephone, mobile Internet access,video calls and mobile TV, all in a mobile environment. Compared to the older 2G and 2.5G standards, a 3Gsystem must provide peak data rates of at least 200 kbit/s according to the IMT-2000 specification. Recent 3Greleases, often denoted 3.5G and 3.75G, also provide mobile broadband access of several Mbit/s to laptopcomputers and smartphones.A new generation of cellular standards has appeared approximately every tenth year since 1G systems wereintroduced in 1981/1982. Each generation is characterized by new frequency bands, higher data rates and nonbackwards compatible transmission technology. 4G is the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to 3G and 2G families of standards. Speed requirements for 4G service set the peak download speed at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication (such as from trains and cars) and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication (such as pedestrians and stationary users). A 4G system is expected to provide a comprehensive and secure all-IP based mobile broadband solution to laptop computer wireless modems, smartphones, and other mobile devices. Facilities such as ultra- broadband Internet access, IP telephony, gaming services, and streamed multimedia may be provided to users.Pre-4G technologies such as mobile WiMAX and first-release 3G Long term evolution (LTE) have been on themarket since 2006 and 2009 respectively, and are often branded as 4G. The current versions of thesetechnologies did not fulfill the original ITU-R requirements of data rates approximately up to 1 Gbit/s for 4Gsystems. Marketing materials use 4G as a description for Mobile-WiMAX and LTE in their current forms.© Fraser J. Hay, 2011 10

Taster Version for Joe PublicStandardGlobal System for Mobile Communications, or GSM (originally from Groupe Spécial Mobile), is the worldsmost popular standard for mobile telephone systems. The GSM Association estimates that 80% of the globalmobile market uses the standard. GSM is used by over 1.5 billion people across more than 212 countries andterritories. This ubiquity means that subscribers can use their phones throughout the world, enabled byinternational roaming arrangements between mobile network operators. GSM differs from its predecessortechnologies in that both signaling and speech channels are digital, and thus GSM is considered a secondgeneration (2G) mobile phone system. This also facilitates the wide-spread implementation of datacommunication applications into the system.The GSM standard has been an advantage to both consumers, who may benefit from the ability to roam andswitch carriers without replacing phones, and also to network operators, who can choose equipment from manyGSM equipment vendors.GSM also pioneered low-cost implementation of the short message service (SMS),also called text messaging, which has since been supported on other mobile phone standards as well. Thestandard includes a worldwide emergency telephone number feature (112).Common FeaturesMobile phones are designed to work on cellular networks and contain a standard set of services that allowphones of different types and in different countries to communicate with each other. However, they can alsosupport other features added by various manufacturers over the years: • roaming which permits the same phone to be used in multiple countries, providing that the operators of both countries have a roaming agreement. • send and receive data and faxes (if a computer is attached), access WAP services, and provide full Internet access using technologies such as GPRS. • applications like a clock, alarm, calendar and calculator and a few games. • Sending and receiving pictures and videos through MMS, and for short distances with e.g. Bluetooth. • GPS receivers integrated or connected (i.e. using Bluetooth) to cell phones, primarily to aid in dispatching emergency responders and road tow truck services. This feature is generally referred to as E911. • Push to talk, available on some mobile phones, is a feature that allows the user to be heard only while the talk button is held, similar to a walkie-talkie. • features aimed toward personalisation, such as user defined and downloadable ring tones and logos, and interchangeable covers, which have helped in the uptake by the teenage market. Mobile phone content advertising has become massively popular but has also drawn a great deal of criticism. Usually one can choose between a ring tone, a vibrating alert, or a combination of both.As a result of all these features packed into a tiny device, mobile phones have recently gained reputations fortheir poor ergonomics. Their small size, plethora of features and modes, and attempts at stylish design maymake them difficult and confusing to use.© Fraser J. Hay, 2011 11
