TECHNOLOGIES FOR CONVERGENCE

• ANY SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IS
• INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC
• - Arthur. C. Clarke, The Lost World of 2001

THE INDIAN MOBILE MAGIC
The transformation in telecommunications has
accomplished what our socialist policies couldn't
empower the less fortunate.
Living in several centuries simultaneously

WHAT NEXT ?

• USER FRIENDLY MULTIMEDIA SERVICES
• ATTRACTIVE PERSONALIZED SERVICES
• TIME AND LOCATION DEPENDENT SERVICES
• ACCESS ANY TIME, ANY PLACE FROM ANY DEVICE

Any place
Need to move towards an era of Convergence

MOVING TOWARDS CONVERGED INFORMATION SOCIETY

• Convergence and the Consumer
• Consumers want more control, more mobility and
  more participation in the way they use and enjoy
  communication services.
• To enjoy flexibility and freedom.
• Mobile voice, messaging, mobile music radio is
  being followed by mobile video.
• While on the move, consumers want to browse
  online content as they would in the office or at
  home.

TECHNOLOGIES FOR CONVERGENCE
11
HSPA (HIGH SPEED PACKET ACCESS)

• HSPA is the undisputed leader in mobile broadband
  services, as it provides
• Ecosystem of unrivalled breadth and depth. As of
  date, 805 devices are available
• 384 mobile phones and UMPCs
• 120 PC data cards (PCMCIA cards, Express Cards,
  chipsets, embedded modules)
• 118 notebooks
• 102 USB modems
• 73 Wireless routers/gateways
• 7 Personal Media Players (PMPs)
• 1 camera
• Unmatched economies of scale that benefit all
  players in the ecosystem

12
HSPA (HIGH SPEED PACKET ACCESS)

• Backward Compatibility
• With Existing 3G/UMTS
• Consistent with 3GPP standards.
• Delivering peak rates of 14Mbps in the downlink
  and 5.8Mbps in the uplink today
• Ever-improving performance, with
  commercially-proven transmission bit-rates of up
  to 14Mbps today and up to 42Mbps in the near
  future
• Highly economic urban and rural coverage, with up
  to 200km cell range and measured speeds in excess
  of 2Mbps at the cell border

13
HSPA EVOLUTIONS
HSPA evolution adds support for MIMO and 64QAM
that will deliver 42Mbps in the downlink and
11.5Mbps in the uplink.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) will deliver further
enhancements in peak rates (exceeding 100Mbps)
14
LONG TERM EVOLUTION

• LTE will have scalable channel bandwidths using
  OFDMA with both TDD and FDD operation.
• LTE and HSPA-evolved offer maximum spectrum
  flexibility while delivering true high-speed,
  high-quality 4G performance.
• LTE/ System Architecture Evolution (SAE) which
  will deliver optimized, flat two-node
  architecture for
• an optimized payload path,
• simplified QoS,
• excellent scalability and
• cost-efficient deployment for the delivery of IP
  services.
• Operators evolving to LTE from GSM/WCDMA/HSPA
  will maintain full backward compatibility with
  legacy networks.

15
CONVERGENCE DEMANDS HANDSETS TO SUPPORT SERVICES

• Handsets will play an important role in the
  success of technologies
• Future generation handsets will have to handle
  more than traditional voice data services.
• Mobile broadband applications like
  high-resolution multimedia streaming, video
  downloads, TV broadcasting, etc require powerful
  devices with sophisticated computing performance
  good battery life.
• Handset vendors will have to provide a full range
  of devices which will suit all operator networks

16
CONVERGENCE TO ENABLE INCLUSIVE GROWTH

• Mobile communications combined with the huge
  potential of the Internet is the most powerful
  technology combination.
• Notebooks will expand diversify in form and
  function integrating multiple radio receivers and
  other converged services
• Handsets will become increasingly powerful,
  functional and connected
• Mobile devices will be utilised in the Digital
  Home
• New mobile network technologies will emerge

CONCLUSION
Future Trends in Technology
It is not about 2G or 3G or 4G, but really about
how we make the move where wireless is the
pervasive communications style. Its about using
all of the technologies, whatever the generation
level may be, and bringing a service that the
end-user finds real value in and becomes
dependent upon, which is how you eliminate
communication boundaries. .Dave Murashige,
Nortel
