Dale Boehm, Cisco Product Marketing Manager, MITG, talks about benefits and differentiators of Cisco V2oLTE solution -- a comprehensive solution that provides continuity between IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and circuit-switched domains.
A video review of the Motorola Photon 4G Android smartphone on Sprint. The Motorola Photon 4G runs on NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core 1GHz CPU and comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The phone has a 4.3" qHD touch screen, an 8 megapixel rear camera with 720p video capturing and a VGA front camera. It works on Sprint's EVDO 3G as well as WiMAX 4G for data.
The packet-switched architecture of LTEi does not support circuit-switched voice calls as used in 2G/3G networks. Rollout of commercial LTE networks has been ongoing since the end of 2009 and a solution is needed to ensure fully interoperable and globally available voice services. Different approaches to support voice services in LTE have been discussed over the past years.
Simon Saunders of the Small Cell Forum discusses the work that he and his organisation are involved with, their agenda for Small Cells World Summit 2012 as well as Simon's predictions for the industry in the coming year.
Ravi Chachra says Aricent is seeing increasing demand for dual mode, 3G/LTEi femtocell solutions. The software is ready, but the push is yet to come from the operators, he adds.
Craig Donovan, Senior Researcher at Ericsson Research, talks about Smart Grids and how LTEi has key features and many advantages to meet the communication requirements for Smart Grids. For the utilities industry, the right combination and management of communication technologies has the potential to reshape the operational and business processes of the entire industry.
The evolution of both HSPA+ and LTE standards has introduced aggregation of carriers for higher data rates, better load balancing and increased spectrum utilization, and since the dawn of LTE, the standard support for radio level interworking for HSPA and LTE radios has been included.
Mass market mobile wireless applications and devices for the subscribers have exploded in recent years. The proliferation of new applications, devices and services has led to increased signaling and data traffic flowing through HSPA and LTE mobile broadband networks.
What are the drivers for LTEi-Advanced? Ericsson CTO, Ulf Ewaldsson, puts more MIMOi and more bandwidth at the top of the list. LTE-Advanced will also bring carrier aggregation to help operators optimize their spectrum resources.
