Ericsson leads the way with new networks software model
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Software 15A release brings new functionality to boost user experience and
increase RAN energy efficiency as well as openness, resiliency and O&M
efficiency to the cloud
* With Software 15A Ericsson introduces a new software model for networks,
similar to the software model in the IT industry
* Ericsson Software model includes predefined software value packages ensuring
better performance and a software subscription component reducing time to
market for new functionality
Pace of change in networks is accelerating and puts great demand on prompt
upgrades. With application virtualization, network evolution is increasingly
driven through new software functionality. Our studies show that networks with
the latest software release perform better and offer a superior user experience.
With the increasing importance of regular software upgrades there is a need to
adapt the telecom software models so that they become similar to the IT industry
- with clear software packages and transparent pricing models. To achieve this,
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) introduces a new software model, the Ericsson Software
model, with the release of Software 15A.
Stéphane Téral, Principal Analyst Mobile Infrastructure and Carrier Economics,
Infonetics Research, says: "The telco model as we know it is obsolete. The old
hardware-based telecom model isn't in synch with today's software-driven network
reality. As virtualization increasingly decouples hardware from software, mobile
operators need to embrace the ICT software model to become more agile and remain
relevant."
Ericsson Software model introduces software value packages such as HD Voice,
multi-carrier mobility and load management, enabling operators to simplify the
implementation of innovative functionality. The software packages address
customer needs in four areas; secure smart device business, increase coverage
and capacity, drive efficiency and capture new revenues.
Together with a software subscription component, the Ericsson Software model
reduces time to market for new functionality. With these software value packages
delivered on a predictable basis, operators can more efficiently integrate
upgrades into their network and simplify the network planning process. Regular
upgrades mean that users always enjoy the best experience from the networks.
Johan Wibergh, Head of Segment Networks, Ericsson, says: "This is a logical
evolution in the shift toward virtualization. Our new model builds on the
software performance benefits by making it simpler and faster for operators to
implement the packages that best address their business needs. Networks can do
much more today and their speed of evolution will only increase."
Software 15A contains hundreds of new and updated enhancements spanning
Ericsson's Radio, Cloud and IP portfolio; a few highlights of 15A include:
* Ericsson Radio Dot system support for both LTE and WCDMA
* Small cell coordination features including Combined Cell which improves
throughput by 100 percent for a single user at the cell edge, and Coverage-
Adapted Load Management to optimize network resources
* Energy-saving LTE features, including Micro Sleep Transmission (TX) and
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Sleep Mode, which reduce power
consumption during low-traffic periods
* Three Carrier Multi-carrier for HSDPA, which provides download peak rates to
63Mbps, increases 3G network capacity by 40 percent and improves user
experience for all load situation and entire cell
* Ericsson Cloud Execution Environment 15A is based on OpenStack providing
openness for third party applications and hardware. It focuses on a high
level of resiliency through a triplicated cloud infrastructure controller
and efficient infrastructure O&M.
* Modem Assisted Service Classification which enables the monetization of
single or multiple app bundles by dynamic, real-time service classification
and policy enforcement.
