Mobile Data Communications and Enterprise Information Systems

Abstract

Mobile phones have seen a rapid recent growth due to smaller and lighter handsets, longer battery life, lower phone charges and more widely available services. The most remarkable expansion has been seen in the area of data communications represented by the i-mode information service and 64 kbps PHS communications. Their pace of growth is expected to gain further momentum with the start of IMT2000 in May 2001, which allows high-speed data transmission.
