Our portfolio, combined with recent acquisitions, ensures we are more capable than anyone to deliver in the field of media. Our solutions span from advanced real-time charging systems, middleware, TV head-end (including compression equipment) through to network and advertising expertise.
The Ericsson approach to networks is to establish a Full Service Broadband Architecture that enables delivery of any service, to any device, anywhere. It is open, standardized and it emphasizes the converged qualities. This is exactly what the Individual TV Experience needs as it foundation, and this is exactly what Ericsson's strategic portfolio is developed for.
A complete portfolio:
• Fixed access nodes that support a wide range of access technologies, including various DSL solutions, point-to-point Ethernet over fiber, CAT 5/6 and GPON (alone or in combination for deep fiber access).
• Mobile access nodes based on WCDMA/HSPA/LTE including unicast and MBMS broadcast capabilities.
• Multi-access edge and mobile packet core nodes, versatile IP edge platforms for enhanced network efficiency and simplified operations. These nodes control functions that manage user policy profiles and QoS settings across the entire network.
• Metro aggregation nodes that transport traffic between access and multi-access edge nodes while providing transport-based connectivity services on their own.
• IMS opens the door to a range of offerings, including combined media and communication services and (long-term) session portability between fixed and mobile devices. Ericsson IMS is one system, independent of access.
Our vision offers a clear evolution path, making us a true partner for progress in TV.

The Ericsson IPTV solution offers all components necessary for a successful deployment of IPTV across a Full Service Broadband network including middleware, content distribution platform, video head-end, content protection, TV applications such as games and information services. To get the right quality and capacity for IPTV, Ericsson offer an optimized IPTV network infrastructure including a full range of access, optical transport, edge routing and IMS systems, fully integrated or tailored for step-wise deployments.
Mobile TV brings TV services to the mobile screen – predominantly to mobile phones. It marries mobile phones services with television and video content and represents a logical, complementary merging of technologies. The Ericsson mobile TV & Video solution provides a total mobile TV experience of linear TV, video-on-demand, and Podcast TV, and enables diverse, accessible content. Its easy-to-use Mobile TV client features program guides, fast channel switching and interactivity.
Essentially, mobile TV allows the consumer to access wherever and whenever it is needed for a personalized experience, delivering streamed, downloaded and pushed content as well as relevant and targeted advertising. This end-to-end solution includes network features, service layer enablers, professional services and mobile phone clients. HSPA offers ample capacity for one-to-one unicast mobile TV and the network can be upgraded with MBMS to handle high traffic scenarios and hot spots. Unicast and broadcast technologies will then happily coexist.
