Motorola on ambitious commercial technology for 2010
Motorola, has embarked on an ambitious commercial project for the FIFA 2010 World Cup, which seeks to keep the Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems (UMTS) specifications competitive.
Speaking to journalists in Sun City, Rusternburg recently, several speakers from Motorola said the emergence of packet-based wireless broadband systems such as WiMAX802.16e, were clear answers to both radio and television network advancement ahead of the 2010 World Cup to be host by South Africa.
“Work has begun on long term evolution (LTE) of the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Specifications Systems Terrestrial Radio Access and Radio Access Network, which should be operational in time for the World Cup.
“Goals for the evolved system include support for improved system capacity and coverage, high peak data rates, low latency, reduced operating costs, multi-antenna support, flexible bandwidth operations and seamless integration with exiting systems,” said a Motorola expert.
The exciting prospect about Motorola is that the WiMAX and LTE are well positioned to drive the global evolution towards pervasive wireless broadband communications with market acceptance, rich ecosystems, and promising economies of scale.
Motorola’s committed focus and investment uniquely position the company to bring both market-leading WimAX and LTE solutions to the global marketplace.
“Availability and regulations of spectrum, paired with time-to-market business objectives, will likely determine operations’ selection of WiMAX and LTE. Operators will reap first mover benefits of market share and speed-to-revenue by taking advantage of their access to broadband spectrum holdings to penetrate the wireless broadband market early.
“Wireless technology platforms addressing the growing demand for bandwidth will share key technology enablers including OFDM air interface, advanced antenna techniques including MIMO and beam-forming, flat all IP architectures, and common IP core,” a Motorola official said.
