MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS - BARCELONA, February 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today announced that it
has been invited by TeliaSonera, the leading telecommunication company in
the Nordic and Baltic region, to participate in a trial of its Base Station
Router (BSR) Femto in-building wireless access solution in Denmark.
TeliaSonera's planned trial activities in Denmark are expected to start
this spring.
The goal of the trial is to demonstrate the functional viability of the
solution and will encompass testing of voice and high-speed packet access
(HSPA)-based wireless broadband data services in home and office
environments. The trial also will involve integration of Femto in
TeliaSonera's network.
The Femto Base Station Router is an innovative solution that packs
third-generation (3G) W-CDMA/HSPA radio access and core network elements
into one compact, easy-to-deploy unit. The solution benefits operators by
enabling them to reduce their network costs and it benefits users by
enabling them to access broadband wireless services with a high-speed
connection and exceptional coverage in homes and small offices.
"Alcatel-Lucent's BSR-Femto offers an ideal way for service providers -
such as TeliaSonera - to provide broadband wireless services in a home or a
small office more efficiently than they could with a traditional cellular
network," said Lars Boilesen, head Alcatel-Lucent's activities in the
Nordic and Baltic countries.
At the heart of the BSR-Femto is Alcatel-Lucent's revolutionary "flat
IP" architecture and auto-configuration approach. The flat IP architecture
effectively reduces the number of network elements that network traffic has
to travel through, eliminating bottlenecks in the network and thereby
increasing quality and decreasing latency. With the auto-configuration
feature, the BSR-Femtos also are able to register themselves automatically
on the network, a feature that enables operators to deploy and more easily
manage large numbers of smaller, stand-alone base stations without the
deployment costs normally associated with network expansions.
As a global leader in the development and deployment of
third-generation (3G) networks, Alcatel-Lucent has deployed commercial 3G
(UMTS/HSPA and CDMA2000) systems for more than 70 operators worldwide.
Alcatel-Lucent also is the uncontested market leader in broadband access
with more than 150 million DSL lines shipped to-date. More than 180
customers have adopted the ISAM product family globally - a figure that
includes over 80% of the top 20 DSL operators in the world.
