3G Americas (3GA)
Offices: Bellevue, Washington
Founded in January 2002, 3G Americas unites mobile operators and manufacturers
in the Americas to provide a single voice to represent the GSM family of
wireless technologies—GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS (WCDMA). The founding members
of 3G Americas wanted a single organization that could globally address
the converged operator networks and their seamless evolution to future generations.
This marks a significant milestone for the advancement of the GSM family
of technologies and ensures a smooth transition to Third Generation (3G)
services. |

Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
Offices: Paris, France
3GPP is an IT initiative based at ETSI headquarters. It fosters collaboration
between telecommunications standards bodies, including ARIB, CWTS, ETSI,
T1, TTA, and TTC. The scope of 3GPP is to produce globally applicable technical
specifications for a third generation mobile system based on evolved GSM
core networks, GPRS and EDGE and the radio access technologies that they
support. |

Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2)
Offices: Arlington, Virginia
3GPP2 is focused on North American and Asian interests, 3GPP2 is a sister
project to 3GPP, both of which were born out of the ITU’s "IMT-2000" initiative,
covering high speed, broadband, and Internet Protocol (IP)-based mobile
systems featuring network-to-network interconnection, feature/service transparency,
global roaming and seamless services independent of location. This project
aims to develop global specifications for ANSI/TIA/EIA-41 evolution to 3G
and global specifications for the radio transmission technologies (RTTs)
supported by those standards. |

Trade Association
Offices: Southlake, Texas
The 1394 Trade Association was founded in 1994 to support the development
of computer and consumer electronics systems that can be easily connected
with each other via a single serial multimedia link. The IEEE 1394 multimedia
connection enables simple, low cost, high bandwidth isochronous (real time)
data interfacing between computers, peripherals, and consumer electronics
products such as camcorders, VCRs, printers, PCs, TVs, and digital cameras.
With IEEE 1394 compatible products and systems, users can transfer video
or still images from a camera or camcorder to a printer, PC, or television,
with no image degradation. |
