by MobiGates — published on February 12th, 2006

The 3GSM congress is opening tomorrow (the 3GSM Congress will also include a Mobile Entertainment Summit, from 14 - 16 February). For the first time the event will take place not in Cannes but in Barcelona, Spain. What to expect from this big event?

  1. Phones with Wi-Fi (WLAN)
  2. handsets capable of receiving broadcast TV signals. Mobile TV.
  3. and plenty of new technologies, services and gadgets (probably useless)

Nokia is one of several vendors expected to unveil new dual-mode 3G and Wi-Fi phones.

Samsung will present their ultra-thin SGH-Z150 3G phone. The W-CDMA/UMTS device is only 9.8mm thick and supports Video On Demand (VOD) technology.

Open-source software, including the Linux operating system, is expected to surface in several new handsets targeting both the business and consumer markets.

Hot topic - VoIP (voice over IP) technology. Skype, a household word for fixed-line VoIP, has been reaching out to collaborate with mobile phone operators and handset manufacturers.

High-speed networking, especially for data services. Several vendors plan to use the Barcelona event to show their high-speed networking systems.
