WiMAX + IMS


1st LTE Commercial Launch – Dec.14, 2009• Based on LTE @ 2.6 GHz

• Stockholm and Oslo

• Teliasonera has 3 nationwide licenses; Sweden, Norway and Finland

•Ericsson is supplying the 4G city network in Stockholm. Huawei is supplying the 4G city network in Oslo. At launch in 2010, Samsung will supply the 4G modems in both cities

•During the introduction offer period (until 1 July 2010) you pay 4 SEK/month incl. VAT. 4G and 3G modem is included. At launch the customer will have a 4G modem that only handles the 4G traffic. Free exchange to a modem that handles both 4G and 3G when it is available during second quarter 2010. Binding period of at least 12 month (new and free customer)


Broadband Enabler

Broadband is a right and no longer a privilege. It is a necessity and no longer a luxury.

According to the World Bank, every 10 percent increase in broadband penetration helps to increase a country’s economic growth by 1.3%.


Broadband: Necessary Service Utility or Luxury?

Who deserves broadband? Whether broadband is becoming a necessary utility, or

remains a luxury Does every rural community, hoping to hang on to its

schools and hospitals, not t mention its young people, deserve to get broadband access?

Is broadband a necessary utility? If not now, will it ever be?

WiMAX is NOT a Cellular Voice Replacement

WiMAX was not developed to compete with cellular voice market

WiMAX WILL Complement 3G Data Services

• WiMAX is a technology choice delivering high-capacity and high-throughput data services

Contrasting Wi-Fi / WiMAX / Cellular

2G/3.xG Cellular

• Packet overlays but based on slot based, circuit switched resource allocation

• Efficient for voice traffic• Inefficient for bursty traffic

(email, http)

CSMA/CA Efficient for unpredictable traffic in an

unlicensed band Inefficient for predictable traffic (voice) “Sharing model” designed for unlicensed

band No control of resource allocation policy

Wi-Fi

WiMAX

• Fast dynamic scheduling• Contention access for bandwidth

requests only• Resource allocation exclusively

by BS – retains tight policy control by network

• Efficient for both bursty, unpredictable traffic and voice

WiMAX is the Optimal Solution for Mobile Internet
