With Release 3 (aka UMTS Phase 1) a new radio access network called UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial
Radio Access Network) is introduced, based on W-CDMA (instead of TDMA/FDMA) air interface transmission.

With Release 4, the MSC functionality is split into two entities:
- The MSC Server, which provides the control functions
- The Media Gateway (MGW) which provides the bearer switching functions and,
if necessary, the conversion fonctions between two different formats. A single MSC
Server can control multiple MGWs.
