| Abstract | The wireless industry is currently undergoing a major transition from the second generation (2G) to the third generation (3G), which will allow wireless network service providers to offer high speed wireless data services. At present, there are many alternative wireless network technologies, such as TDMA, GSM, cdmaOne, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, and cdma2000. These wireless technology choices require close examination when making the strategic decisions involving network evolution. So, each wireless service provider must choose a particular transition strategy, indicating when, how, and at what pace to introduce new technologies. The goal of this project is to support wireless firms’ strategic decisions: to migrate or not, if so, which network migration path to take. This research will develop a model to show how technology options migrating into new technology from old technology affect on the value of networks. We also will apply it to assess the value of technology migration options in the US wireless industry. Consequently, this study will help wireless network service providers make strategic decisions when upgrading or migrating towards the next generation network architecture, by showing which network migration path leads to the most optimum results. |
