3G Evolution
Proposal of 3G

IMT-2000: the general name of third generation mobile

communication system
The third generation mobile communication was first proposed in
1985 and was renamed as IMT-2000 in the year of 1996
Commercialization: around the year of 2000
Work band : around 2000MHz
The highest service rate :up to 2000Kbps
