International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) are third generation mobile systems which are scheduled to start service around the year 2000 subject to market considerations. They will provide access, by means of one or more radio links, to a wide range of telecommunications services supported by the fixed telecommunication networks (e.g. PSTN/ISDN/IP), and to other services which are specific to mobile users
A range of mobile terminal types is encompassed, linking to terrestrial and/or satellite based networks, and the terminals may be designed for mobile or fixed use
As a strategic priority of ITU, IMT-2000 provides framework for worldwide wireless access by linking the diverse system of terrestrial and/or satellite based networks.
IMT is a result of the collaboration of many entities, inside the ITU (ITU-R Radiocommunication Sector and ITU-T Telecommunication Standardization Sector ), and outside the ITU (3GPP, 3GPP2, etc.)
