Motorola Moves toward LTE
It
has launched its Long Term Evolution (LTE) advanced self-organizing
network (SON) solution. It’s designed to help operators reduce
operational expenses on the deployment of their LTE network.
In
February,
Motorola had deployed an LTE network
over which it decided to demonstrate live experiences moving through the
streets of Barcelona during the
Mobile World Congress 2009. LTE video
streaming was part of the display.
Motorola's advanced SON is a 3GPP Release 8 standards-compliant solution
that uses its network autonomics (self-management) research and
experience in managing commercial wireless networks. It includes
advanced features, improved architecture, and leading algorithms that go
beyond specifications in the standards, says the company.
The
solution, a feature of its LTE network offering that includes its
recently-announced WBR 500 eNodeB, will be demonstrated at the LTE World
Summit in Berlin May 18-20, 2009.
It’s an
integral part of an LTE network that delivers operational expense cost
savings by automating previously manual steps involved in planning,
deploying, optimizing, and operating the network. It thus reduces the
need for new operation and management resources required to manage an
additional network technology (2G, 3G, plus LTE).
"LTE
promises to bring extra capacity and lower cost per bit," said Paul
Steinberg, chief architect, wireless infrastructure, Motorola Home &
Networks Mobility.
As the
LTE market is soon expected to grow, a
Juniper Research report found that revenues from
LTE mobile broadband subscribers will exceed $70
billion globally by 2014. Main markets will be the developed nations of
North America, Western Europe, the Far East, and China, which together
will account for 90% of the market.
