savramesh 37 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) Source HYDERABAD, INDIA: Ericsson unveiled its latest radio base station site concept – Ericsson Tower Tube - for the Indian telecom market. The award winning solution reduces total cost of ownership for customers and provide a sustainable, energy efficient and cost-effective means of bringing communication. In contrast to traditional towers, the Tower Tube's design employs modular concrete construction that allows the structure to be deployed quickly and easily, besides providing additional protection from vandalism and lightening. A self-contained site, it safely houses all equipment within its slim design (about 5m diameter at the base), making site acquisitions easier as compared to conventional sites which require more area for set-up. In addition, the Ericsson Tower Tube does not require feeders and cooling systems. This results in up to 40 percent lower power consumption than traditional base station sites. P Balaji, vice president, marketing and strategy, Ericsson India and Sri Lanka, said," At Ericsson, it has always been our effort offer world-class products and services to our customers. This energy-optimized radio base station concept reflects our ability to understand and respond to customer requirements by reducing the total cost of ownership in order to expedite the roll out of mobile communications in India". Designed by Scandinavian architect Thomas Sandell, the Ericsson Tower Tube recently won the Technology Design category of the 2008 Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Awards.

savramesh 37 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Huawei launches world's first multi-mode Base Station Controller Source Bangalore: Huawei Technologies launched the world's first convergent Base Station Controller (BSC) which integrates both the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) BSC and the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) RNC (Radio Network Controller) into one multi-mode controller. The component was launched at the Huawei Mobile User Congress in Munich, Germany. The new equipment will enable operators to achieve the full convergence of multi-mode wireless networks, including greater efficiency with operation and maintenance, radio resource management and transmission resource management. The product has been specifically designed to support multiple wireless systems via a single uniform access network and integrate radio bearers for voice, narrowband data and mobile broadband into one network element. "Convergence and scalability have become ubiquitous links in our value chain and the launch of the world's first multi mode BSC is another key step towards a fully converged network evolution for operators," said Wan Biao, President of Huawei wireless product line. "With one purchase decision, operators can now realize the optimal benefits of ownership from a cost and time efficient solution for multiple network investment protection and enhanced performance." Huawei also launched two software-defined radio (SDR) enabled RRUs (Radio Remote Units) with dual-transmitter capability. The first RRU supports GSM/UMTS/LTE (Long Term Evolution) technologies by using the same 1800M/1900M/850M/900M spectrum and is the only SDR enabled RRU product to have received standardization by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. The second SDR enabled RRU can provide UMTS/LTE services while using the same 2100 MHz spectrum. Huawei's SingleRAN solution is software configurable according to different traffic models to have more GSM or UMTS capacity. Operators such as O2, China Unicom, America Movil and TeliaSonera were among the first to adopt this optimal, long-term solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Poor CDMA.... noone is working on CDMA compatiblity already... Even operators are NOT paying any attention... CDMA has become network for very dirt-cheap tariffs and dirt-cheap handsets only, though it is technologically superior than GSM... All due to one company called Qualcomm... When 3G and MNP arrives, I dont think customers with ARPU > 1000 will stick to CDMA, though the tariffs will be much much cheaper... Many people says that CDMA next-gen will be successful due to very fast data... Well, 3.5G GSM, that is HSDPA also has fast data speeds.. I dont think that people leaving CDMA for 3G-GSM now, will return back later for high data speeds, though MNP will be available @ that time... May be CDMA data cards and USB data disks will sell for sure like hot cakes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
