UMA Technology

Unlicensed adaptable admission (UMA) technology is an appliance that provides users of both all-around arrangement for adaptable communications (GSM) adaptable casework and accepted packet radio account (GPRS) adaptable casework with another access, such as Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®. It serves the charge for humans to break connected, and is a acceptable another for cellular buzz users if there is no GSM or GPRS service. If these casework are not available, UMA phones will attending for actionable admission credibility for Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®. This adequacy adds to the believability for a adaptable accessory to break affiliated to the network.

Wi-Fi® is broadly acclimated for accouterment Internet admission to claimed computers (PCs) and laptops at homes and in a lot of bartering places. There are articulation and abbreviate bulletin account (SMS)-equivalent casework that are accessible on the Internet. Bluetooth® is a accepted short-range wireless advice average with accretion features. It is frequently acclimated for extending accessories such as headsets, microphones, and cameras. New appearance are getting appear to admission the account of Bluetooth®.

UMA computers may be primarily affiliated via Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth®. If these casework are not available, the UMA computer may attending for GSM or GPRS account as a fallback. This arrangement could be actual affordable if Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® admission is accessible a lot of of the time. For example, a user who campaign to an breadth breadth GSM advantage is not accessible may be able to admission Internet or Wi-Fi® account in that area. In theory, with UMA technology the user will be able to accomplish calls with the Wi-Fi® infrastructure.

The ambition of UMA technology advocates is the seamless affiliation amid GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi®, and Bluetooth®. This agency that the arrangement controllers for the GSM and GPRS will be communicating with Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® arrangement controllers. In theory, a adaptable UMA buzz may be handed over from GSM/GPRS to Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth® and carnality versa, all after arresting the call.

UMA technology may ultimately accommodate bigger all-embracing account for all users. If a bifold buzz can be programmed with claimed preferences, such as rules in registering and affiliating to GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi®, or Bluetooth®, again the users will benefit. The day will appear if humans could all be application UMA technology or its equivalent, and they may not charge to apperceive which adaptable arrangement they are in fact using.
