Alcatel-Lucent End-to-End IP Wireless-Broadband Solution Delivering speed to market, scalability and service evolution, cost effectively
Operators deploying WiMAX need a reliable, streamlined way to roll out broadband Internet and voice services today — while preparing for high-speed growth and new mobile interactive multimedia services. Alcatel-Lucent provides the industry’s first comprehensive package of WiMAX infrastructure and services to meet these crucial requirements.
Meeting the fast-paced challenges of universal broadband WiMAX offers operators the opportunity to capture the three main pieces of the universal broadband industry trend in a single technology, regardless of whether they are building on an existing business and subscriber base, or starting from scratch: • Ubiquity – untethering the broadband experience from fixed locations, for access anywhere • Always on – continuous broadband availability from the moment the end user wakes in the morning until they retir
The requirements for launching a sustainable WiMAX business play out in three steps: Step 1: Cost-effective coverage and capacity – The initial need is to roll out high-speed Internet and VoIP services quickly and economically, with a high standard of QoS and quality of experience (QoE) for end users.
Only Alcatel-Lucent offers a complete, pre-integrated package of products and services, allowing you to fully benefit from the potential of WiMAX Rev-e today and throughout the next wave of market challenges. The strength of this solution is based on: • Best-in-class WiMAX Rev-e technology • Packet-optimized backhaul and transport • Global IP network integration expertise • IP mastery for unrivalled QoS/QoE • Service enablers for revenue growth Figure 2.
Best-in-class WiMAX Rev-e Alcatel-Lucent is the market leader in WiMAX Rev-e access solutions counting the number of commercial network deployments and trials completed or underway worldwide. Our hardened, industrialized base station portfolio is in mass production, supporting all frequencies — and strictly in compliance with Rev-e standards. Advanced antenna technology – Alcatel-Lucent radio solutions incorporate beam forming and MIMO to help optimize coverage and capacity.
Packet-optimized backhaul and transport WiMAX Devices – Alcatel-Lucent is a leading player in the emergence of an open WiMAX ecosystem. We are driving the early availability of key features by investing in an aggressive interoperability testing (IOT) program, run in WiMAX IOT centers worldwide, as well as by working with over 16 partners — including all major chipset vendors and a growing list of CPE suppliers.
Global IP network integrator expertise Alcatel-Lucent services capabilities help provide the expertise and global support needed to cope with the many challenges of implementing WiMAX network and business plans. Initially, this means shorter time-to-market and later, it means, growth with optimized cost efficiencies and dimensioning, as well as new service introduction.
IP mastery for unrivalled QoS/QoE End-to-End IP Wireless-Broadband Solution for WiMAX goes even further, incorporating latest innovations from Bell Labs to give unprecedented QoS/QoE guarantees. The Alcatel-Lucent 9900 Wireless Network Guardian is the first product on the market providing simultaneous, realtime visibility over every link of the wireless broadband network where overload could cause the network to crash. packets are tagged accordingly, establishing end-to-end flows.
Whereas operators are often attentive to high IP bandwidth consumption such as P2P file-sharing behaviors, airtime and signaling resources can also become exhausted. Leaving VPN connections open for hours when totally unused, for example, can eat up scarce airtime resources in the cell, and mobile e-mail delivery devices create signaling loads disproportionate to the light IP capacity they require.
Service enablers The Alcatel-Lucent End-to-End IP Wireless-Broadband Solution for WiMAX provides the tools to support both your initial service rollout today (typically high-speed Internet and voice) and lay the groundwork for rapid launch of mobile multimedia services whenever the business opportunity calls for it.
With the Alcatel-Lucent End-to-End IP Wireless-Broadband Solution architecture, you can activate more advanced mobile multimedia services whenever the time is right. The Alcatel-Lucent 5910 Mobile Interactive TV solution enables video on demand (VOD) and streaming music with a consistent end-user experience across both PC and handheld terminals. It provides the required content management, streaming, encryption and digital rights management in a single package, along with an interactive portal.
