Cingular wireless is one of the nation’s leading wireless
companies. Its headquarters are based out of Atlanta, Georgia with
numerous retail stores and mall kiosks in every major city. Cingular
began as a merger between BellSouth and SBC, which has grown into a
corporate conglomerate.
Cingular offers various services and technology such as: TDMA network,
GSM network, Universal Mobile Telephone Service (UMTS), digital voice
and digital data. As the first company to bring about Enhanced Data
with their GSM services, Cingular set the bar in wireless services. GSM
is the wave of the future and Cingular prides itself for this new
innovation by being one of the first to offer such services. With GSM,
their customers will be able to enjoy unlimited and universal roaming
potential. In addition to this, Cingular began a mew kind of wireless
service called Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution operating systems, also
called the EDGE. This new technology will offer consumers a higher
speed to transmit data and access the information superhighway.
Cingular’s Universal Mobile Telephone Service, which began earlier this
year, will continue to spread to other markets, allowing consumers the
capability of multinational usage.
