IMT-2000

IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunications-2000) is the global standard for third generation (3G) wireless communications as defined by the International Telecommunication Union.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=":5">Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 1999 ITU approved five radio interfaces for IMT-2000 as a part of the ITU-R M.1457 Recommendation.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The five standards are:<ref name="IMT-2020 definitions">Template:Cite web</ref>

• IMT-2000 CDMA Direct Spread
  • also known as W-CDMA, used in UMTS, the successor to GSM
• IMT-2000 CDMA Multi-Carrier
  • also known as CDMA2000, the successor to 2G CDMA (IS-95)
• IMT-2000 CDMA TDD
  • also known as TD-SCDMA
• IMT-2000 TDMA Single Carrier
  • also known as EDGE, an intermediate 2.5G technology
• IMT-2000 FDMA/TDMA
  • also known as DECT

To meet the IMT-2000 standards, a system must provide peak data rates of at 384 kbit/s for mobile stations and 2 Mbit/s for fixed stations.<ref name=":5"/><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name=":0">Template:Cite web</ref>
