Ericsson and Samsung cooperate for world’s first LTE interoperability
Ericsson and Samsung Electronics have successfully achieved interoperability between the world’s first commercial LTE device from Samsung and the live network from Ericsson in Stockholm, Sweden – an important milestone in making 4G a reality.
LTE will transform the mobile-broadband user experience, providing the ultra-high data speeds anywhere, anytime. LTE will bring unparalleled services such as Internet TV, mobile video blogging, on-line video games and high speed mobile business environment.
Commercial LTE networks scheduled to offer services to consumers in 2010 will bring data rates far above what is possible in today’s mobile broadband networks allowing users to stay connected and enjoy seamless, high-quality, online services even while on the move.
Samsung and Ericsson have together developed necessary procedures to accomplish this end-to-end integration program. Through extensive testing in Stockholm, Samsung LTE dongles and Ericsson’s infrastructure have complied with the industry standard for commercial deployment, 3GPP Release 8 March baseline.
LTE enables unprecedented performance in terms of peak data rates, spectrum efficiency and delay. LTE can be deployed both in new and existing frequency bands and is designed to minimize the cost of network operation and maintenance.
The end-to-end connection was provided via LTE FDD technology, using Ericsson’s own live LTE network and the world’s first commercial LTE device from Samsung.
