Ericsson's plan to improvise the HW Platform for their AXE 810 Platform

Ericsson AXE 10 is the old HW Architecture
The same has been improvised to AXE 810 platform

[ "8" in the model name is more of a marketing/sales gimmick to capture the BIG Chineese market ].

They further trying to improvise the HW and bring CLOUD architecture as part of this planned HYBRID system.

Huawei to unveil 4.5G at its MBB Global Forum in Shanghai BY November-2014

Huawei is in preparation of strategic solution in order to bridge the gap between 4G & 5G and use it as a steppingstone to develop a own proposal for 5G Contender.

During the recent GSMA Middle East 360, Hauwei unveiled the summary of the proposed 4.5G development plan to attract regional players to commit for candidature in deploying the Huawei solution in widespread.

The term "4.5G" created a HUGE buzz, but with very small detail on technological aspects it is not clear enough to conclude the expected improvement on existing 4G/LTE solutions.

In summary, Huawei's aim for 4.5G to achieve....

> 10 Gbps
> 100K Subscribers within a km² coverage
> To serve the evolution between 2016 to 2020

Also willl support...

> D2D in addition to M2M
> 4K Video Quality
> 3D Video
> Complete control/service layer in cloud architecture

The storm is coming " APT700 - 700 MHz Band Auction for Mobile Broadband "

Although 700 MHZ band is utilized well by US in the past, but in the recent past around 2010 Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT) developed the APT700 bandplan to offer the mobile broadband. Mainly focussing on 3GPP Standardized LTE Technology as the vehicle to utilize the 700 MHZ band for better coverage/speed for MBB services.The same has been adopted by Latin America.

Meantime in US AT&T and Verizon already aggregated their 700 MHZ holding to implement the LTE Technology in widespread.

The benefits are...

TRUE GLOBAL ROAMING OPPORTUNITY
SIMPLE UE Hardware and Battery Saving
Less CAPEX/OPEX for better MBB Services compare to other bands.

The frequency range : 698-806 MHz

Supports both TDD/FDD Mode technology of LTE.

Telstra is one of the major supporter for the same. Australia is one of the landscape that requires such benefits like Better Coverage + Better Speeds.
GSA-the Global mobile Suppliers Association too backing this strongly.

The field test carried out by Huawei proves to be 3.6 times of 1800 MHz band and 6 times of 2600 MHz band.
In addition to coverage benefits throughput also 30% / 65% more compare to a 1800/2100 MHz spectrum.

India is planning to do the auction not before 2015 End, GSMA is pursuing the Govt. of India to release the roadmap soon.

Going to be action full years ahead of us.

There will be two major fractions in future Operators with 2100/1800 band and Operators with 700/800/900 bands. The former being the target for "Small Cells" vendors. :-))

The difference between the "Marketed" Data Rates and the ones available practically..

ITU-T sets the standard requirements for each generation of mobile telecom services, then vendors and operators try to achieve that. However there are major difference between the "Marketed" Data Rates and practical ones.

Reason can be many for the shortcoming.

Following picture presents the theoretical and practical Mobile Dats Rates.

5G Ecosystem Requirements

5G Ecosystem Requirements as stated by NSN.

I Hope that , nobody builds a 4.05 G / 4.15 G and claims it as 5G :-))
I think many experts disagree the fact that LTE is 4G and LTE-A is 5G.
Whereas technically LTE-A serves the ITU-T 4G Requirements.
