7th August 2006 - Ericsson is the first vendor to complete
WCDMA calls on all nine 3GPP-defined frequency bands, giving
its customers the most flexible platform solution on the market.
Initially deployed on the 2100MHz band, WCDMA and HSDPA are
now being deployed on frequency bands used for 2G technologies,
such as GSM, and new frequency bands, such as 2500MHz and
the 2100/1700MHz used in the US. This enables operators to
offer 3G services to a broader market and gives regulators
the opportunity to grant new 3G licenses.
Using its new U310 and U360 WCDMA/HSDPA mobile platforms,
Ericsson is the first vendor to successfully test its platforms
on all nine frequency bands standardized by 3GPP. The U310
and U360 platforms support full commercial deployment on eight
of the nine bands - an adapted variant of the U360 was used
for testing on 2500MHz.
Robert Puskaric, head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says:
"We are the first mobile platform vendor to successfully
test operation on all frequency bands standardized by 3GPP.
This enables our customers to bring WCDMA and HSDPA phones
to the market covering all frequency bands open for 3G services.
Operators will also benefit strongly from the capabilities
of the U310 and U360 platforms, which allow rapid migration
of end users to 3G."
