Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today launches four new
solutions to support communication service providers in capturing
the business opportunities created as the 5G era moves closer. The
solutions will be showcased during Mobile World Congress (MWC)
2016, held February 22-25, 2016 in Barcelona, Spain.
Fueled by the Internet of Things, 5G and the
cloud, service providers will see a growing number of diverse
network uses, which will bring new value chains, financial models
and business opportunities. To capture the opportunities ahead,
service providers will have to continuously transform and adopt new
ways to create value for consumers.
Along with this development, network performance
is becoming increasingly important and an increasingly challenging
task. A new study, which will be published in the MWC edition of
the Ericsson Mobility Report, reveals that a poor video streaming
experience can actually have a "double whammy" effect, since it not
only leads to lower service provider brand equity, but actually
helps competing brands to gain brand equity.
Launch 1: Mobile Broadband for Everyone
The latest Ericsson Mobility Report forecasts that
90 percent of the world's population will be covered by
WCDMA/HSPA mobile broadband networks by 2021. At the same time,
more than 50 percent of the world's population today still lacks
internet access, especially in developing countries. This provides
a great opportunity for mobile operators.
In support of the vision of making mobile Internet
access available to everyone, Ericsson is addressing three
different challenges: enhancing network performance, improving
operations efficiency and lowering cost for mobile broadband
coverage. Ericsson's WCDMA Flow of Users doubles network
performance on existing site infrastructure, Zero Touch WCDMA
increases network operational efficiency by a factor of three and
Mobile Broadband Expander drastically lowers TCO by up to 60
percent while simplifying deployments of all the hundreds of
thousands 2G-only sites that already exist.
Mobile Broadband for Everyone will be fully
available in Q2 2016.
Launch 2: Delivering Extreme App Coverage
As part of the evolution toward 5G, and to improve
the performance and efficiency of today's LTE technology while
meeting the network demands created by growing data traffic,
Ericsson is launching new Ericsson Radio System software and
hardware. The launches support the world's first commercial
offering of LTE 1Gbps peak data rates, in addition to
hyper-scalable radio access network architecture for Cloud
RAN.
The Ericsson Radio System is also being
complemented with three new radio access products supporting 4x4
MIMO, and new spectrum bands. Efficiently addressing user demands
for extreme app coverage will also drive requirements for
multi-gigabit capacities and multi-band solutions in the backhaul,
which Ericsson is addressing with new microwave additions to the
Ericsson Radio System.
Delivering Extreme App Coverage will be available
beginning in Q2 2016.
Launch 3: Experience Centric
Managed Services
For subscribers, network performance and user
experience are increasingly important. To support operators in
becoming experience-centric, Ericsson is launching the Service
Operations Center (SOC) and the Experience Management Center (EMC)
functions of our Experience Centric Managed Services
offering.
The SOC monitors the performance of services such
as video streaming and web browsing in real time, which is
translated and correlated into network performance requirements.
The EMC monitors consumers' experiences and perception through, for
example, customer surveys, social media analytics, Net Performance
Score studies and churn analysis, which is translated and
correlated into service performance requirements.
Operators that have a better understanding of both
service quality and their consumers' perception of their experience
are better able to improve by both measures.
The new features of Experience Centric Managed
Services are available immediately.
Launch 4: Revenue Manager
Revenue Manager is a convergent, real-time
charging and billing product for digital service providers. It
leverages a breakthrough, cloud-based highly configurable
architecture to deliver new levels of automation, flexibility and
operational efficiency. It is the first - business support
system (BSS) designed for the opportunities and challenges of the
Networked Society.
The product enables service providers to launch
new products and services in days, capture new revenue streams with
real-time revenue sharing and drive customer experience through
personalized omni-channel interactions, embedded analytics and
unified policy control.
Revenue Manager 16 will be generally available in
June 2016.
