Expert Insights on 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.

Gerson Lehrman Group Council Members are available to discuss Handsets via phone consultations, live meetings, surveys, and other custom GLG products and services.
