Embedded systems can exist in environments that are very harsh and noisy, which can lead to potential problems with electromagnetic interference (EMI). EMI consists of any unwanted, spurious, conducted, or radiated signals of electrical origin that can cause degradation in equipment performance. Because of these problems, all components must comply with specifications to ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and there are numerous design methods that can be used to prevent EMI. During the development life cycle of an embedded system, the product must be designed to comply with EMC standards, and the product must also be tested for EMC. In addition, other forms of environmental reliability testing must also be performed to ensure dependable system performance in its natural environment. Currently, there is still work to be done to harmonize various EMC standards to reduce trade barriers between countries and different use sectors, like Defense and Civilian. Therefore, care must be taken in developing embedded systems for compliance with the appropriate standards.

World's first 3G service, FOMA, has made videophone service a reality with face-to-face communications using real-time sound and video. The service has a wide range of applications since it allows the facial expressions of users to be shown and viewed, as well as scenery and other images captured by the phone's camera.

So...What is 3G?
A radio communications technology that will create a "bit pipe" for providing mobile access to internet-based services ...
