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. In 1999 ITU approved five radio interfaces for IMT-2000 as a part of the ITU-R M.1457 Recommendation. The five standards are: * ''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.

International Telecommunication Union
The International Telecommunication Union is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for many matters related to information and communication technologies. It was established on 17 May 1865 as the International Telegraph Union, making it the oldest UN agency. The ITU was initially aimed at helping connect telegraphic networks between countries, with its mandate consistently broadening with the advent of new communications technologies; it adopted its current name in 1932 to reflect its expanded responsibilities over radio and the telephone. On 15 November 1947, the ITU entered into an agreement with the newly created United Nations to become a specialized agency within the UN system, which formally entered into force on 1 January 1949. The ITU promotes the shared global use of the radio spectrum, facilitates international cooperation in assigning satellite orbits, assists in developing and coordinating worldwide technical standards, and works to improve tele ...
