The purpose of thi, ,lUdy is 10 lind out Tlurd generation (30) mobile netvmrk market

This 30 technology is implement~ in so many countries in lhe whole world. There are some
sncces~;ful and some unsuccessful cases in adopting this teclmology. In lhis report lhe

The market ('fmobile communication is very atrractive as Bangladesh i8 a highly populated
counlry, But the inflation rate is very high here and GOP .is comparatively low. So it is a
matter of consideration for implementing coslly lechnology because it may 80 much coslly
for most oflhe peDple.
Technological and economical balance is an important issue in this case. The Return of
lnvestment period is impmtant as the technology is quickly changing. The 3G technology i,
a solUllOnof l-Lgh speed dala service demand. bUIthe market is not big enough yet to invest
extensively be~au,e Ii~~n,~ fee, tIlx is a big issue. Also me recent penalry paid by operalors
forced them to cm down their cost. In this situation feasibiliry analysis and forecasting is a
big issue.
Here in this report the data and trend analysis has heen done with respect 10 the recent
growth of lhis teclmo[ogy in different counliies. Also the cost analysis has been done for
implementing this technology,
From Our sludy It has been found thai implementation of 3G lechnology al existing GP
network s>st~m is fe(lsible as because from financial analysis IRR has been found 30%. the
NPV positive and Discounted Payback Penod 4.1 years (considering 13% discounting
factor). Moreover. 2G is going to be absorbed by 3G all over tbe world and 2G is now at its
declining phase. then il wll1 be me nght lime to switch into 3G technology at our network
system,
