Synopsis:

This subject informs students about public cellular radiotelephones (GSM), cordless telephones (DECT), radiopaging systems (ERMES) and private land mobile radio systems (TETRA etc.). The subject indicates also consecutive convergency all mentioned systems to universal global mobile telecommunication systems (UMTS, FPLMTS, IMT- 2000, MBS). Some technological problems are presented too.
