One step closer to convergence

Mobile subscribers can “roam” between mobile networks and fixed wireless networks using Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology. This is interesting for fixed-line operators, who have been consistently losing traffic to mobile operators.

GSM: everyman's mobile standard

When GSM was first launched in the early 1990s, it promised high capacity and roaming ability, with big growth potential up for grabs. Fifteen years later, it is growing faster than ever before.

Mobile video: it’s a vision thing

Dateline: anytime, anywhere. Mobile-video telephony is set to change the way consumers communicate and watch video media. It offers headlines, highlights and new communication capabilities whenever and wherever consumers want them.

Egypt goes IP

Nine million subscribers use circuit-switched telephony services from Telecom Egypt, the region’s largest fixed-line operator. The company now upgrades with IP, cutting the number of switches by half while exploring new multimedia services.

Mobile TV: the road to mass market

The next phase of mobile TV means decision time for operators. Which broadcast standard gives optimal results? And when is the right time to extend current services with a broadcast-capable network?

Advancing broadband everywhere

Record rapid growth in broadband demand has created opportunities and challenges for an expanded Ericsson, now combined with parts of Marconi acquired on January 23.

More from voice? Now you’re talking

Mobile operators, have you heard the word? There is great potential for mobile-voice growth despite increasingly saturated and competitive markets. Learn how you can maximize your voice business.

Bright future for mobile music

Downloading music to computers and mobile phones has never been more popular, with sales skyrocketing in 2005.

Mobiles enhance Third World lives

A mobile phone can be a major step toward a better life in areas where people face poverty, health problems and a lack of electricity and communications.

Nawras sets the pace in Oman

Nawras recently contracted Ericsson to expand its GSM coverage, provide managed software upgrades and build a new 3G network.

IP-TV is more than just TV

IP takes TV to the next level and makes it interactive and personalized. But operators need to analyze their copper access lines very carefully to be able to deliver.

Mobile ads promise big rewards

Advertising on mobile phones offers great potential but means thinking outside the box.

The Net effect

The internet has changed modern life and yet it has only become widely used over the past 15 years. What the future holds is anyone's guess but advances in technology and mobile communication will soon put the world in everybody's pocket.

World’s first SPD and live IMS

In a world-first, Ericsson demonstrates IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) applications being delivered live using a Service Delivery Platform at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.

The main event in your pocket

History in the making rests comfortably in the palms of our hands. Wherever you are in the world, mobile phones can cross continents and journey through time zones, capturing global events as they happen.

Two-way traffic drives mobile TV

We are not all couch potatoes in front of the TV. Introducing voting and chatting with the mobile to a popular TV-show, NRK scored an instant hit.

Malaysia out to fulfill IT ambitions

Malaysia  has high hopes for its future as a regional information technology hub. A strong IT-based economy is helping to move the country towards achieving developed nation status and to be an information-rich society by 2020.

Migration to WCDMA demands experience

The mobile industry is experiencing tremendous growth and is expected to have 3 billion subscribers by 2008. The majority of these new users will be added to GSM/WCDMA networks, strengthening the argument for this technology path.

What convergence will bring

Convergence forces fixed and mobile operators to redefine their businesses. The most critical issues of this change will be discussed at 21st Century Communications World Forum.

Rural broadband: the next frontier

Now, operators can make a profit from as few as ten subscribers. Previously, they would need several hundred to have a solid business case. Ericsson´s rural broadband products make this possible.
