Advanced receivers for WCDMA terminal platforms and base stations

WCDMA continues to evolve to support high-bit-rate applications. HSDPA technology, for example, substantially increases data rates in the downlink. But as data rates increase, self-interference from the dispersive radio channel limits performance. As a consequence, Ericsson has developed advanced (G-Rake) receivers for WCDMA terminal platforms and base stations.

Mobile platform security
End-user expectations regarding features in mobile phones have increased dramatically in recent years, not the least where security functionality is concerned. End users, operators, and content providers take it for granted that the mobile platform will protect all vital information in and about a mobile phone. Thanks to robust security mechanisms and rich, basic-platform-security functionality, Ericsson's new generation of mobile platforms fully lives up to these expectations

Reducing TCO with the new RBS 2x16
Market demands for a more efficient way of building out GSM have given rise to a new model of radio base station in Ericsson's renowned family of RBS 2000 products. RBS 2216, for indoor deployment, and RBS 2116, for outdoor deployment, feature a common building practice for combining GSM and WCDMA on the same footprint. The design thus meets operator demands for modernizing radio networks.

Rural WCDMA - Aiming for nationwide coverage with one network, one technology, and one service offering
A new world has emerged in the wake of the internet revolution. Ironically, however, this new world often excludes rural villages and communities due to the prohibitive cost of delivering broadband services using traditional single-service technologies. Major advances in WCDMA technology can make advanced broadband and communication services available to practically all citizens - even those in remote and inaccessible regions.
