3. First … The Future

4. Let’s See the Future

5. The Future is Here

6. Probably the first mobile phone

7. The first real Mobile Phone
• 1983, Martin Cooper
invented the mobile
phone
• He envisioned a world
with people so wedded to
wireless connections that
they would walk around
with devices embedded
in their bodies.

8. Body centric communications

9. The first mobile phone
• In 1970 Amos Joel of Bell Labs invented
the "call handoff" feature, which allowed
a mobile-phone user to travel through
several cells during the same
conversation.
• The modern handheld cell phone era
began in 1973 when Motorola invented
the first cellular portable telephone to be
commercialized, known as Motorola
DynaTAC 8000X (battery life of 8 hours)
• It cost $3.995 and sold over 300,000
units in the first year alone

10. Global System for Mobile Communications
BTS – Base Station
BSC – Base Station Controller
MSC – Mobile Service Switching Center
GSM Radio
Access Network

11. 1G
• First Generation of mobile networks
• GSMA – GSM Association
• Analogue, circuit-switched technology
• 800-900 MHz frequency bands
• Features: low traffic capacity, unreliable
handover, poor voice quality and security.
• Analogue First Generation phones were also
• Voice calls only
1991, First GSM call made by Radiolinja, Finland’s Mobile
Network Operator
1992, Telecel launches commercially with 0,3%
penetration, 30k customers
Ericsson GH172
Telecel 1st portable
mobile phone

12. 2G
• Second Generation mobile telephone networks
• Digital technology
• Network Coverage increase in densely
populated areas within cities
• More Capacity to handle the large number of
calls
• Improved resilience to avoid the risks of
interference and dropped calls at handoffs.
• Caller ID, SMS , Roaming, EU (GSM 900); US
(CDMA – Code Division Multiple Access)
• CSD – Circuit switch Data, 9.6kbit/s
1995 – Telecel covers 100% of Continental Portugal
and launches Post-Paid SMS (pre-paid 1996 –
“Vitamina T”)

13. 2.5G
• Second Generation Enhanced
• Demand for better data services and access to
the Internet.
• Packet-switched connection (GPRS)
• Mobile internet started with WAP – Wireless
Application Protocol
• Enhanced data rates
– HSCSD, High Speed Circuit-Switched Data, 14.4kbit/s
– GPRS, General Packet Radio Service, 56-114 kbit/s
– EDGE, Enhanced Data Rate for GSM Evolution,
240kbit
1999 Telecel WAP launch
2001 Telecel Vodafone GPRS goes commercial,
including HSCSD

14. 3G
• Third Generation
• Japan was the first country to introduce
• Higher data transmission rates and offer
increased capacity
• Use packet-switching technology, which is
more efficient and faster than circuit-switching
• Requires more infrastructure than 2G systems
• New handsets and new services: TV
streaming, multimedia, video call, MMS, Web
browsing, e-mail, paging, fax, and navigational
maps.

16. GSM Messaging Services
• The first SMS (Short Message Service) text
message was sent over the Vodafone GSM
network in the United Kingdom on 3rd Dec
1992. Message “Merry Christmas”
• SMS the most widely used data
application in the world
• EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service), you
can send formatted text, sound effects,
small pictures and icons
• MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)
allows you to send animations, audio and
video files in addition to text.

17. Converged Mobile Phones
• Multimedia Feature
Phones
– Camera
– Music & Radio player
– Game Consoles
– Internet Browsing
– Video Player
– Stream & Record
– Apps / Java J2ME

19. Mobile 1.0
6110
WAP 1.0 / CSD
WAP 1.2 / GPRS
WAP 2.0 / 3G & HSDPA

20. 2006 Smartphones
Smartphones are “complicated” and are only for
those who indulge in business-on-the-move

25. • Mobile is OTT ??
• Adaptive Connectivity
• Full Internet Experience
• App Stores Economy
• Developers
• Smartphones, Tablets
• Android, iOS and others
Apple’s built-in apps arrived and set a
standard that inspired third-party developers
to create something amazing, and they did,
just as soon as the platform opened up.
Mobile 2.0

26. 200+ Organized Apps

27. “Internet Players” Disruption
• Apple iMessage
– messages synced between iOS devices
• Other Innovative Messaging Services
– Skype
– WhatsApp
– eBuddy
– Pushme.to
– Gtalk
– Telefonica “Tu Me App” (VOIP)
