Ericsson introduces CDMA Internet Services Platform to enable mass-market Mobile Internet
Ericsson's Internet Services Platform is a new tool for helping CDMA operators and service providers deploy Mobile Internet applications rapidly, efficiently and cost-effectively. For operators, the Ericsson Internet Services Platform scalable, open architecture allows easy integration of third-party applications, reducing service management costs and bringing applications to market sooner. The network's open standard interfaces simplify application design for developers by allowing them to focus on functionality rather than proprietary interfaces. For the consumer, access to the Mobile Internet will become less complicated, and it will be easier to move among applications.
"Ericsson's Internet Services Platform is much more than an application platform; it is a key component for an operator's future success in the booming mobile Internet market," said Ake Persson, president of Ericsson CDMA Systems. "It provides operators with a powerful tool to bring a wide variety of Mobile Internet services to market easily and cost-effectively, differentiating themselves from the competition."
The CDMA market has proven its appetite for Mobile Internet services with a 30 percent penetration rate of all CDMA subscribers in the world today using mobile Internet. With the personalization afforded for both end-user services and billing, the Ericsson Internet Services Platform will introduce the operator and the consumer to a new level of flexibility, making the mobile Internet even more attractive then it is today. The Ericsson Internet Services Platform can be deployed in cdmaOne networks with the assurance of a smooth transition to third-generation cdma2000 networks. The IP-based design enables seamless delivery of many services and applications, regardless of the access method, the underlying technology or the end user device. The result is a simpler process of launching and using mobile Internet pplications. Complementing its product portfolio, Ericsson also has mobile Internet resource centers in all CDMA markets to assist operators locally with specific services, testing, integration and other deployment needs.

Ericsson announces 3G cdma2000 Mobile Switching Center
"By leveraging Ericsson's global platform technologies we are able to quickly bring highly competitive products to the market," said Ake Persson, president of Ericsson CDMA Systems. "The MSC for cdma2000 is yet another example of Ericsson's technology leadership in switching platforms."
One of the strengths of the cdma2000 MSC is the fact that it incorporates the Ericsson AXE platform used across all Ericsson mobile networks. With more than 13,000 AXEs in operation worldwide, and more than 2000 operating in mobile networks, the introduction of this MSC based on the advanced AXE810 platform further solidifies Ericsson's market leadership in mobile switching. High processing and switching capacity coupled with a remarkably small footprint will ensure cost-effective operation of the core network. Costs for power and cooling, spares handling and housing are drastically reduced due to the compact size and the incorporation of common hardware components that are easily configured with software. Also, the scalability inherent to the platform makes it an excellent choice for networks of all sizes as operators phase their approach to build out of cdma2000 networks. Operators that have AXEs deployed in their cdmaOne networks will be able to seamlessly evolve them to cdma2000 with a software upgrade only.
The MSC's high capacity and scalability combine to give the operator a strong foundation for providing advanced revenue-generating services. Circuit-switched and high-speed packet-based services, WAP and Unified Messaging are examples of services seamlessly integrated with the cdma2000 MSC. As with Ericsson's recently announced cdma2000 Radio Access Network, the MSC has been designed with the flexibility to seamlessly evolve along with cdma2000 technology. As new 1xEVDO and 1xEVDV phases of cdma2000 are introduced only a software upgrade will be required for the MSC to work with other elements of Ericsson's total cdma2000 solution. The MSC also supports ANSI-41E and the open A interface defined in IOS version 4.
