Wireless operators from around the globe are joining forces in the name of next-generation wireless advancement. A group of seven operators, including Sprint Nextel, NTT DoCoMo, China Mobile, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange and KPN, have launched the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) initiative to move wireless beyond 3G.
The NGMN initiative will work as a limited U.K. company to help guide mobile networks beyond current 3G networks. The company intends to work alongside existing (wireless) standards bodies to shape the development and standardization of the next generation of mobile technologies, the companies said in a prepared statement.
The body has already created requirements for a future wide area mobile broadband network, NGMN said.
Among the first areas the NGMN will focus on: developing high levels of data throughput alongside low latency levels; compatibility with legacy networks; support of high levels of authentication and security; and improved terminal certification schemes.
