Secure electronic transactions—The mobile phone evolution continues
Ericsson is convinced that future mobile phones will be equipped with unique digital credentials to be used for a multitude of services—the phone is thus becoming a personal trusted device, not only because of technical advances but also because consumers are increasingly willing to use their phones for non-traditional services, such as transaction-based services. |
On-demand mobile media—A rich service experience for mobile users
The introduction of standardized mobile messaging services, such as EMS and MMS, will enrich person-to-person messaging and pave the way for content-push services. On-demand mobile media services will be delivered to users via media streaming and download techniques that enrich mobile browsing and general content access. The building blocks for on-demand mobile services have been standardized in the 3GPP. |
WAP 2.x architecture—Features, services and functions
Web services adapted to the wireless environment have been a tremendous success, especially in Japan, where more than 25 million people use i-mode. However, the architecture of i-mode has some limitations. These will be overcome with WAP 2.x. |
RF multicarrier amplifier for third-generation systems
The growing market for third-generation systems requires a base station RF power amplifier designed for large-volume production. Ericsson has chosen the feed-forward technique with analog predistortion, which gives excellent spurious emission values and high production yield. A design for efficiency and cooling guarantees the best MTBF in a small-size amplifier. |
Ericsson’s family of carrier-class technologies
The horizontally layered network sets the stage for new service applications and for the introduction of a common transport technology. Ericsson’s way of developing systems and applications is thus undergoing a transformation: the company strategy involves a family of carrier-class technologies on which to base telephony, server and access applications. |
Building a reliable, cost-effective and future-proof fiber optical access network
Ethernet-over-fiber is likely to become the preferred solution for extending optical techniques straight out to the wall socket. By offering symmetric transmission of 100 Mbit/s or better, Ethernet-over-fiber access networks will enable the delivery of advanced services. And given the current and emerging Ethernet standards, we can soon expect to see flexible, multipurpose access networks built entirely on Ethernet technology. |
