Ericsson Review: no. 02, 2008

ericsson review No.2, 2008

The Communications Journal since 1924

Ericsson Review unfolds and clarifies Ericsson’s technology and product strategy, showing customers how to make technology and solutions work.

In an all-connected world, remote access is a key scenario. The simple user proposition is that user-created and commercial content will be available anywhere, anytime and on any device. Remote access also applies to other application areas, such as home monitoring & control and sensor networking.

In this issue

Delivering the optimal end-user experience

Ericsson’s Multimedia Communication Suite (MCS) is a horizontal business solution which gives network operators the platforms and mechanisms they need to create an end-user experience that simplifies the discovery of, access to, and usage of new network services, facilitating a much higher level of customization and integration of services with terminal capabilities while hiding the complexities of doing so from end-users.

 

Virtually at home: High-performance access to personal media

Ericsson’s end-to-end solution for remote access services builds on the IMS and UPnP families of standards along with the Home IMS Gateway (HIGA), which serves as an intermediary gateway for connecting the device-centric consumer electronics space with the user-centric telecommunications world.

Current and next-generation PONs: A technical overview of present and future PON technology

The article describes the evolution of GPON and associated trends in the industry. Further, it briefly introduces and compares current PON technologies and describes options for reach-extended GPON and next-generation access systems.

Service delivery platforms for the multimedia marketplace

Ericsson’s acquisitions of Drutt, LHS, and Tandberg combine with homegrown products, solutions, and delivery capacity to put Ericsson in a strong position to set up new internet multimedia marketplaces and offer a service delivery platform (SDP) that has what it takes going forward.

Smart Simplicity in radio network management

Emphasis on simplified network management is in line with other efforts in the wireless industry to streamline operations and reduce costs. This article describes the rationale behind this trend and introduces Ericsson’s Smart Simplicity concept for radio network management, which focuses on means of increasing automation in today’s increasingly complex networks in order to reduce operating expenses (OPEX).going forward.

Key features of the LTE radio interface

LTE enables unprecedented performance in terms of peak data rates, delay, and spectrum efficiency. This article presents some of the key features of the radio interface for LTE, including spectrum flexibility, multi-antenna technologies, scheduling, link adaptation, power control, and retransmission handling.

Multi-access for the IMS network

IMS multi-access gives non-IMS-capable devices access to the IMS core network and services. It is a first step toward all-IP/IMS, enabling operators to provide services like Centrex for office-bound SIP phones as well as wireless devices without the requirement to deploy new terminals.
