Ericsson software drives evolution across radio, cloud and virtualization
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson Networks Software 15B delivers world's first software-only upgrade
of installed base LTE baseband hardware to support simultaneous LTE time
division duplex (TDD) - frequency division duplex (FDD) operation
* The new release includes improved Cloud Execution Environment ready for
demanding telecom applications
* New virtualized network functions enabling speed and accessibility,
including Ericsson Virtual Router offering redundancy and scaling 20 times
higher than competition
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) Networks Software 15B (release B, 2015) and the Ericsson
Software model are leading the way the ICT industry is transforming itself,
offering increased performance and commercial simplicity for software delivery.
Networks Software 15B delivers many new capabilities in the areas of radio
access, cloud & virtualization, as well as in the network management & control
domain, promising to boost networks for maximum performance.
Upon introduction, the new Ericsson Radio System will also operate with Networks
Software 15B.
Sue Rudd, Director, Service Provider Analysis, Strategy Analytics, says:
"Ericsson Networks Software 15B offers end user and operator benefits from radio
access to IP core and into the cloud that improve capacity, lower costs and
simplify operations. These new capabilities provide substantial incentives for
operators to upgrade."
Håkan Djuphammar, Vice President, Head of Technology, Business Unit Cloud & IP
at Ericsson, says: "We are delivering system software releases in coherent
software packages, synchronized and tested across nodes in networks, end to end,
to maximize performance and efficiency.
In between these releases we can deliver separate software releases with
dedicated functionality, thanks to our agile development and release
methodology. This allows us to continuously deliver new software functions that
enable our customers to capture new opportunities of the Networked Society while
operating in an efficient manner."
Networks Software 15B highlights include:
The world's first software-only upgrade of the installed base of LTE digital
units, and software for new deployments, to enable simultaneous LTE TDD-FDD
operation. Concurrent TDD and FDD operation on the same software and hardware
reduces capital and operational expenditures. Common hardware and software also
efficiently enables TDD-FDD carrier aggregation, which improves the TDD
application coverage area by up to 200 percent.
Ericsson is also leading the way in cloud and network functions virtualization
(NFV) transformation. In order to ensure realization of the NFV vision, Ericsson
is a committed driver of the Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV) project.
In the Networks Software 15B release, Ericsson is improving throughput and
availability in the Cloud Execution Environment. This is needed to meet the high
requirements telecom applications have on infrastructure.
Personalized Wi-Fi calling and dynamic control of LTE handover is ensured by the
Service Aware Policy Controller (SAPC).
The introduction of the Ericsson Virtual Router provides the industry's first
carrier-grade IP routing system, offering agility in service and infrastructure
deployment based on a truly modular architecture. It offers redundancy and
scaling that is 20 times higher than its nearest competitor.
Ericsson is unifying and simplifying the network management across LTE and
Evolved Packet Core (EPC). Automated handling of up to 60,000 LTE cells is
shortening the time-to-market significantly for LTE roll-out.
LTE Psi is introduced to support the next wave of LTE coverage expansion more
cost-effectively. LTE Psi is an Ericsson innovation delivering full cell
coverage by sharing a single radio across three antennas. This improves the
energy efficiency of a full coverage LTE cell site by 40%.
With WCDMA/HSPA projected to make up the majority of all subscriptions in 2020,
Networks Software 15B also includes app coverage enhancements for mobile device
users. These include WCDMA Uplink Coordinated Multipoint, which improves
capacity by up to 20%, and Enhanced Uplink Low Latency Pre-Scheduling, which
increases initial throughput by up to 40%.
To accommodate the growth of machine-to-machine devices on GSM networks, the
number of GSM device connections that can be supported has been doubled.
Automated Neighbor Relations capabilities have also been added to optimize
communications between cells while reducing operating costs.
Also, smart authentication with User Data Consolidation (UDC) enables better
security for any connected device, including SIM and non-SIM based devices.
Ericsson Networks Software 15B leverages the momentum of the Ericsson Software
model, introduced in September 2014, which simplifies software delivery for
network operators. Building upon these earlier innovations, Networks Software
15B delivers high performance across operators' networks. Since the first
introduction of the new software model, Ericsson customers around the world have
signed up for the new model to realize best available performance through a
simple and transparent upgrade subscription.
Ericsson at Mobile World Congress 2015
