UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access)
UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) is an industry collaboration to extend
GSM and GPRS services nto customer sites by utilizing unlicensed radio
technologies such as Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) and Bluetooth®. This is
achieved by tunnelling GSM and GPRS protocols through a broadband IP
network towards the Access Point situated in the customer site and
across the unlicensed radio link to the mobile device. Thus UMA provides
an additional access network to the existing GERAN (GSM EDGE Radio
Access Network) and UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network).
