| Handover between WCDMA and GSM Handover between WCDMA and GSM allows the GSM network to be used to give fallback coverage for WCDMA technology. This means that subscribers can experience seamless service, which is of importance to the commercial launches in 2003. |
| OMA—Changing the mobile standards game The role of the OMA in the value chain is meant to differ from that of previous standards organizations. Its approach focuses mainly on interoperating services instead of protocol stacks. The idea is to offer enabling technologies for delivering relevant, end-to-end, high-performance services. |
| The service network framework—An architectural blueprint for the service network The emergence of the Mobile Internet has focused special attention on the service network, which is where network operators can expect to develop, launch and bill for new services in a streamlined way. |
| Realizing the operator’s service network: Ericsson’s systems integration Ericsson’s systems integration gives operators the means of evolving their service networks, enabling them to realize the true potential of the service network and move toward fully third-generation-ready networks. |
| Advanced baseband technology in third-generation radio base stations Being the kernel in WCDMA, the baseband platform must be able to efficiently handle the entire life cycle of an RBS. Moreover, it must do so while networks are evolving and expanding. New radio network functions and features will also be added through base station hardware and software to perfect the WCDMA system. |
