Experiences of operating a pre-commercial WCDMA network
Ericsson and Vodafone have jointly built a pre-commercial WCDMA network in the UK to evaluate various aspects of operating a WCDMA network, and for preparation for commercial services. The work mainly focused on evaluating the basic radio network characteristics of the WCDMA standard in a live environment. |
RNC3810—Ericsson’s first WCDMA radio network controller
While the role of a WCDMA RNC is similar to that of a GSM BSC, the differences between the two are big enough to justify a new RNC design, even among vendors who have the best BSC technology available. |
CPP—Cello packet platform
CPP is a carrier-class technology that has been positioned for access and transport products in mobile and fixed networks. It was first developed for ATM and TDM transport. And now, support is being added for IP transport. |
Ericsson seamless network
The Ericsson seamless network is a concept that describes the path for GSM operators who are evolving their networks toward a third-generation environment in which GSM (GSM, GPRS and EDGE) and WCDMA are regarded as one network. |
Ericsson’s GSM RAN capacity solutions
GSM radio network capacity solutions are becoming increasingly important. Radio network capacity solutions can be divided into three categories: cell capacity, network capacity, and channel capacity. |
