LULAR COMMUNICATIONS
CELLULAR
IN THE ANDEAN COUNTRIES
DEVELOPMENT
First Phase
•
Cellular services started in the region at the
beginning of the 90´s, in the 800 MHz band, using
AMPS technology
•
Most countries issued two national licenses
•
Digitalization was gradually introduced between
mid 94 and mid 98
Second Phase
•
A series of PCS licenses (1900 MHz band) were
issued between end 99 and early 2000
•
The new licensees have chosen GSM technology
(Bolivia and Peru)
•
Key international operators are consolidating their
presence in the Subregion
•
Some services as ee-mail,
-mail, ee-banking,
-banking, news and others
supported on WAP and CDPD are beginning to be
offered; GPRS and 1x have been announced

CURRENT ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITIES IN THE ANDEAN COUNTRIES
" Colombia: is studying the issue of a licence to
a new operator
" Ecuador: plans to issue one or two new
licences
" Venezuela: has concluded a public
consultation process (ASETA/Ovum,
consultants)
WORK WITH ITU
On October 1, ASETA and an Expert
(contracted by ITU) will begin a 12 weeks
effort to:
•
Consolidate information about spectrum, technical
aspects, services, etc. on IMT-2000
• Obtain information, suggestions and concerns from
Administrations and operators of the Subregion
• Make recommendations on the spectrum utilization and
the evolution towards 3G
• Suggest communitarian mechanisms to implement
IMT-2000 in the Subregion
ASETA ACTIVITIES
" Perform specific studies (spectrum)
" Propose initiatives to Administrations
" Act as Consultant as in the case of Venezuela
" Look for international support, with ITU, UWCC,
CDG, UMTS Forum
" Support the Administrations, through seminars
(Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador)
" Find and distribute information
" Follow the activities, in Citel, ITU, International Fora,
etc.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS (1)
• SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS ON IMT-2000 ANALYSIS HAS
BEEN MADE
• IMPORTANT DECISIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN ON
SPECTRUM ISSUES
• WORK ON VARIOUS ASPECTS OF 2.5G AND 3G
CONTINUES
• AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMT-2000 SPECTRUM SITUATION IN
THE 1710 – 2025 AND 2110 – 2170 MHZ BANDS HAS BEEN
CONCLUDED
• IN MOST CASES IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO IMPLEMENT
3G SYSTEMS AND SERVICES IN THE DIFFERENT
COUNTRIES
