New research center in San Jose
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced it is strengthening its presence in Silicon Valley by opening a research branch in San Jose, California, in August 2008. Jan Uddenfeldt, an Ericsson Senior Vice President and Senior Technology Advisor to the CEO, will move to Silicon Valley to oversee Ericsson research facility in San Jose.
Ericsson is poised to deliver end-to-end HSPA and LTE technology to the successful bidders in Sweden’s recent 2.6GHz spectrum auction.
The Sant’Anna School for Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy, in collaboration with the University of Tunis in Tunisia and the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur, is offering a new two-year international master’s program in communication networks engineering (IMCNE), starting in October 2008.
The third generation of Java Micro Edition MIDP has been designed from the ground up to work with any multimedia Java API and promises to deliver the most comprehensive mobile middleware ever. Read the Ericsson Review article.
Single-chip 60 GHz transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) MMICs have been designed and characterized in a 0.15 m (120 GHz/ MAX 200 GHz) GaAs mHEMT MMIC process. This paper describes the second generation of single-chip TX and RX MMICs together with work on packaging (e.g., flip-chip) and system measurements. Read the paper.
Ericsson is securing predictable user service performance by reusing proven methods and tools. Among other things, this entails setting requirements at the system service level using input from user studies; defining system service KPIs that reflect the user point of view and verifying system service performance values in a test environment with relevant network load.

Multimedia technology highlights
Digital Subscriber Line- ADSL2plus provides three-times better performance than traditional classic ADSL technology. VDSL2 could be described as a merger of ADSL2plus and VDSL1, optimized for fiber deep-access network applications, that is, where the DSL loops are shortened to allow for higher performance.
High Speed Packet Access. With HSDPA, WCDMA has been extended with additional transport and control channels, which provides enhanced support for interactive, background and, to some extent, streaming services.
For users, IMS-based services will enable communications in a variety of modes – including voice, text, pictures and video, or any combination of these – in a highly personalized and secure way.
3G Long Term Evolution, LTE is the next step in terms of user-service experience, improving latency, capacity and throughput. It will allow data rates above 100 Mbps.
Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service MBMS is a technology for broadcast of content over cellular networks to small terminals (handsets) e.g. for mobile TV. MBMS enables a wider number of channels to be provided in the network since the combination of channels can be dynamically adapted to the demand in each cell and can be multicast when several users demand the same content.
