Ericsson and Qualcomm Deliver LTE Category 11 Smartphone Experience in Live Demonstration with Telstra
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Evolution of Tri-Band Carrier Aggregation, ideal for indoor and outdoor
small cells, with LTE Category 11, designed to support up to 600 Mbps
downlink data rates
* Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) next-generation LTE modem powers mobile device on
Ericsson LTE-Advanced network for Telstra
* Live demonstration at Mobile World Congress 2015 at both Ericsson and
Qualcomm booths
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced the live demonstration of LTE-A Carrier
Aggregation supporting peak data speeds of up to 600 Mbps, in cooperation with
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (QTI), a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated
(NASDAQ: QCOM). This latest technology milestone utilizes 256 Quadrature
Amplitude Modulation (QAM), making it an ideal solution to boost app coverage in
indoor and outdoor small cell networks.
Telstra, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies have cooperated on a number of key
industry milestones, focused on delivering better app coverage to smartphone
users, most recently achieving 450 Mbps on a commercial end-to-end LTE
solution. The latest technical trial undertaken in Ericsson labs and observed
by Telstra, was achieved using a next-generation Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) LTE
modem from QTI, which powers smartphones on an Ericsson LTE-Advanced network.
Mike Wright, Telstra Group Managing Director, Networks, says: "Telstra is
committed to supporting innovation that drives a consistently better experience
for our customers and superior performance throughout our network. This new
demonstration by Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies' provides assurances that
the next step in network development is on track and enables us to effectively
plan for the future."
Serge Willenegger, vice president of product management, Qualcomm Technologies,
says: "We are excited to be contributing to another significant milestone in
delivering fast and reliable cellular data and connectivity solutions. As
wireless data demand continues to grow, we are committed to work with industry
leaders like Telstra and Ericsson to further augment the unique mobile broadband
experience on LTE networks."
LTE-A Carrier Aggregation enables operators to use spectrum more efficiently to
deliver a better user experience to customers throughout the network. The use
of 256 QAM enables higher peak rates to be achieved within a reduced cell
radius, making it an ideal solution for indoor and outdoor small cell
architectures.
Thomas Norén, Vice President and Head of Radio Product Management, Ericsson
says: "Demand for digital experiences is resulting in an ever-increasing need
for improved app coverage, both indoors and outside. The innovations that
Ericsson is driving in both small cells and LTE-A Carrier Aggregation with
leading customers like Telstra, and eco-system partners like Qualcomm
Technologies, will ensure that consumer demand for mobile broadband continues to
be fulfilled."

Advanced network at Mobile World Congress 2015, visit Ericsson in Hall 2, Stand
2N60, and visit Qualcomm in Hall 3, Stand 3E10.
