Why 3G ?!!
Do we really Do we really need UMTS ? need UMTS ? How bigger of How bigger of an investment an investment needed ? needed ?
Why not EDGE Why not EDGE and stop ? and stop ? What are the What are the advantages over advantages over 2G ? 2G ?

Trials Agreements
In order to test and acquire UMTS equipment, Etisalat has signed a Framework Agreement with Three UMTS Vendors. These Trial Agreements include commitments from the manufacturers regarding the experimentation process : Commitments for the provision of equipment : Access Network, Core Network, test tools and terminals for the trial network Commitment for the training of Etisalat Staff Commitment on support : experts to assist in performing tests, operate and maintain the equipment
TRIALS OBJECTIVE
Analyse & Test the Capabilities of the UMTS systems.
Test Conformance of the offered systems to Standards. Experience ahead of live network deployment Develop the Knowledge in Network Planning, operation and optimisation skills Familiarise our Engineers in UMTS.

System Testing
Covers the following interfaces :
Iub Node B to RNC Iu-cs RNC to MSC Iu-ps RNC to SGSN Uu Ue to Node B Gn SGSN to GGSN
19
System Testing
Acceptance Test Plan covers the following domains: o Circuit Switch Domain o Packet Switch Domain o Combination of Circuit and Packet o Stability & Load domains CS Test cases covers: o Registration phase o Mobile originating/terminating calls o Scenario related to the Radio Resource Management, i.e.: o Soft/Softer Handover o Power control algorithm PS Test cases covers: o Attach/detach procedure o PDP context activation/de-activation o Mobile originating PS transfer with different traffic type (FTP, HTTP,.) o Soft and Softer Handover tests

SYSTEM DESIGN
The Coverage initially will Target Specific areas within the the cities and it will grow based on feasibility and requirements Most of the existing GSM sites will be reused, they will be turned in GSM/UMTS sites When the existing GSM grid is not sufficient to provide the throughputs necessary in a given area, some pure UMTS sites are added.

Challenges: Interoperability
3GPP Specifications Interpretation Operator/vendor defined Moving target Within the 3G Network (UE<->Node B <-> RNC <-> MSC/GSN) Terminals and RNC dominant Between the 3G Network and legacy Networks With PSTN/2G/ISP/Billing
Further Challenges
- Maintain similar or better Quality & depth of coverage than Existing 2G Network - Availability of (Reasonably priced, Volume, Feature rich) Dual mode mobile terminals - 3G Rich content & applications
