GLG Topic: Handsets
Wireless Handsets are telecommunications devices consisting of both a transmitter and a receiver. The current trend for wireless handsets is compatibility with 3G cellular technology, which transports wireless broadband data services to a wireless handset. This technology allows users to process the same applications on a cell phone as that of a computer, such as browsing the internet, streaming music video, watching on-demand video programming, downloading and playing 3D games, and videoconferencing.
