2004 A STRONG YEAR FOR ERICSSON
2004 was a year with strong growth and high margins. It was a year with a number of strategic business wins in both systems and professional services. The Ericsson fourth quarter report for 2004 can be found here.
GETTING READY FOR CANNES
As the leading telecom vendor, Ericsson welcomes you to an interesting week at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, February 14-17, 2005. During the conference, we will arrange a range of media activities such as a press briefing, in depth technology roundtables and much more.
PRESS BRIEFING FOR MEDIA AND ANALYSTS

BREAKTHROUGH WITH T-MOBILE GERMANY
T-Mobile Germany selected Ericsson's GSM/GPRS Base Stations to replace 10,000 GSM base stations (Pressrelease) to upgrade and modernize the existing GSM network.
SHARP AND NEC PICK NEXT GENERATION MOBILE HANDSET PLATFORMS
Sharp and NEC have selected Ericsson Mobile Platforms to supply the mobile platforms for their handsets. Sharp chose the Ericsson quad-band G210 for its GSM/GPRS handsets (Pressrelease) and NEC Corporation selected the Ericsson U100 platform for its WCDMA/GPRS handsets (Pressrelease). For Ericsson, which currently supplies the WCDMA handset platforms for Sharp it is a clear indicator of the mobile platform’s stability and commercial success. It is interesting to note that the U100 platform for WDCMA is used in approximately 30 percent of all WCDMA handsets worldwide.
H3G ITALY SIGNS EXCLUSIVE FIVE YEAR MANAGED SERVICES CONTRACT
H3G in Italy has signed an exclusive five year managed services contract with Ericsson worth €250 million (Pressrelease). Under the agreement Ericsson will be responsible for managing H3G Italy's 3G network and for delivering an advanced 3G-multimedia service environment, including management of the service layer and business support systems supplying to 2.6 million subscribers.
Industry Viewpoint - Clearing the Air with Mobile Softswitching
Falling SMS and mobile tariffs and increasing circuit switched traffic has resulted in many operators turning to mobile softswitching. The simple reason for this development is that operator can reduce core network operating expenditure by 50%. The dramatic reductions in Opex are a result of a combination of simpler and more efficient network design and Ericsson’s experience in implementing over 18 commercial networks. The benefit for subscribers is in the increased capacity, reliability and service offerings. For operators, mobile softswitching is a way to take a step towards an all-IP network by introducing a common and single IP core for all types of traffic.
Circuit switching and exponentially increasing voice traffic is exerting increasing pressure and forcing operators to find efficiencies within the network. Mobile softswitching allows operators to rationalize the network, and minimizing transmission costs.
By separating control and transmission functions to different nodes in the network soft switching allows more efficient network transmission by pushing transmission through media gateways to the network periphery. O&M can then be centralized and core network clusters provide a more stabile network with greater flexibility to create capacity where it is needed. These Opex savings on reduced transmission costs and centralization are clear and persuading factors for many operators.
Opex reductions with softswitching has been touted throughout the industry, however, with more than 18 live and commercial implementations, Ericsson uses their experience to pin-pointed the specific network changes that have halved core network Opex for commercial networks. Results from (they are from different cases) specific cases produced Opex savings in O&M and network design efficiencies (50%), transmission (down 60%), power & footprint (down 70%) and have proven that the hype behind the mobile softswitching promise is real and returning significant savings. Overall the operator reduced their core network Opex by 52%.
A secondary argument for softswitching is the natural evolution of networks towards the provision of more multimedia services and all IP core networks. As more operators look ahead and prepare for an all-IP future, softswitching is paving the way for a smoother transition by utilizing an all IP core network. With the future-proof IP architecture and network structure many operators are looking to softswitching as the first step in all IP migration and a complement to IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) implementation. The main drivers for this move are the future revenues from multimedia services to replace the ever falling traffics on traditional mobile services like SMS and voice traffic.
The immediate benefits of softswitching are substantial and center on maximizing network efficiencies. Ericsson worked closely with the operator to reengineer live networks to create more efficient and cost effective solutions. The statistics are proving that a combination of Ericsson’s experience on live networks to find network opportunities coupled with the efficiencies of softswitching are producing impressive results that also complement the next step in the provision of multimedia services. Through the introduction of a layered architecture with centralized operations and a common flexible core network, the Ericsson Mobile Softswitch ensures a common foundation for new consumer services.
Further information:
A whitepaper covering softswitching as part of the evolution to convergence; how operators can capitalize on convergence opportunities, the network considerations; and end-user trends is also now available.
