Ericsson announced today that SOFTBANK MOBILE has selected it to build an LTE RAN in Japan's major cities,. Ericsson is the second big vendor to report LTE network contract this week, yesterday Nokia Siemens Networks
announced the LTE win to supply, deploy and integrate operator's 4G, FDD LTE network.
As the Networked Society takes shape, providing the right user experience is a top priority for operators. Bandwidth-hungry applications common on smartphones, tablets and other connected devices are driving figures for data traffic sky high.
Feb 27, 2012 - At this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC), Polycom Inc., the global leader in standards-based unified communications (UC), and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), will launch an end-to-end solution that enables operators to offer affordable, interoperable HD Video-as-a-Service (VaaS) and unified communication services to businesses of all sizes.
Ericsson and Qualcomm will demonstrate evolved Broadcast over LTE (Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services, eMBMS) at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2012 in Barcelona. eMBMS enables more efficient use of available spectrum and mobile networks.
From 2005 until 1H 2011, Ericsson has made the most approved contributions to the LTE RAN standard, according to ABI Research. Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks together had the second highest number of contributions, followed by Huawei. Companies work within standards groups to make contributions, which are approved through voting.
Japanese operator eAccess will launch commercial LTE service next month. Operator has set initial LTE data service price of 3,880 yen per month. According to eAccess, its LTE service will have 40% population coverage by end of March this year and will reach to 70% in the end of March 2013.
Ericsson - Backhaul plays a critical role in mobile broadband, and is rising in importance on account of the introduction of heterogeneous networks, known as hetnets.
Deploying vast numbers of small cells to complement improved and densified macrocell layers will require a range of highly scalable, flexible mobile backhaul solutions that support superior user experience.
2012 Feb 23, 2012 - Mobile World Congress, the most important trade show for the telecommunications industry is starting next Moday at La Fira, Barcelona. From February 27 to March 1, visitors to Ericsson's (NASDAQ:ERIC) Hall 6 will be able to sneak a peek into the future of communications and the Networked Society.
Ericsson - The GSMA IR.92 voice-over-LTE and GSMA IR.94 IMS conversational video specifications are the preferred industry choices for mass-market voice and video calling services over LTE, satisfying user expectations and providing the most advantageous solutions for operators.
Ericsson - Unlike previous 3GPP wireless technologies, LTE has no circuit-switched bearer to support voice, so carrying voice over LTE requires a migration to a voice over IP (VoIP) solution – commonly under the umbrella of IMS. Until this migration occurs, LTE-capable handsets need to revert to 2G or 3G for voice calls: an approach that is not ideal in the long term.
Japan's mobile broadband operator eAccess plans to launch a Mixed Mode solution for WCDMA and LTE. According to Ericsson, with its Mixed Mode solution, eAccess can use the same radio frequency band for both LTE and WCDMA services.
French service provider has selected Bouygues Telecom for upgrade of its 2G/3G radio networks and rollout of 4G LTE equipments. Operator plans to transform its existing 2G and 3G radio networks in order to improve network performance as data traffic increases and more people move into French cities.
Dallas, TX (February 3, 2012) – NetAmerica Alliance, LLC today announced that members of the NetAmerica Alliance are the first service providers to deploy Ericsson’s po
Ericsson together with Qualcomm successfully performed a voice handover based on the 3GPP-standardized functionality Single Radio Voice Call Continuity (SRVCC) demonstrating users will experience seamless voice services when they move out of LTE coverage, since the call will automatically be handed over to WCDMA or GSM access during the call.
Ericsson - Accurate insight into the subscriber experience has never been more important, as operators compete in a market that is increasingly driven by rising user ex
