Twenty-six Asian, US and European cellphone service companies and data communications equipment manufacturers have agreed to develop a unified standard for speedier 3G (third-generation) cellphone technology, Kyodo News reported Friday.
The firms including NTT DoCoMo Inc., Vodafone Group PLC and Cingular Wireless LLC, agreed to establish a unified standard for updated third-generation mobile technology based on the W-CDMA format by 2007 and make high-speed services available as early as 2009.

The new technology will be capable of transmitting high-resolution video at a maximum speed of 100 megabits per second, as fast as data transmissions via fiber-optic broadband Internet service, Kyodo said.

The 26 companies, also including China Mobile Communications Corp. and NEC Corp., have all adopted the W-CDMA format. They reached an agreement in an international project to standardize the third-generation technology.
