End-To-End Perspective

• Network requirements to scale new andcomplementary services

• Devices and clients supported end-to-end

• Brand name recognition – risks versusopportunities

• Maintenance of infrastructureand applications – central versuslocal approach

• Target market segments and servicedifferentiation

ERICSSON CDMAALWAYS BEST CONNECTED • OCTOBER 2003 • 8

• ABC service test-bed deployed at UCSD campus

• Several projects using/researching the ABC concept

• ABC activities pursued or planned at present– ABC PANs and ABC MANETs

(Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks)

– Combined Mobile IP and session layer mobility

– Capacity aggregation over multiple networks

– Adaptive video codecs overmultiple interfaces

– Adaptive content

– Campus shuttle with ABC router

Wireless Operators and Enterprise Accounts: Example

• Capturing a group of high-end subscribersfor voice and data

• Targeted services for an increasinglymobile workforce

• Leveraging existing subscriber databaseand network infrastructure

• Reduce churn of existing high end –most profitable – subscribers

• Optimize capacity in wirelesswide-area network WLAN IS BEST

Standards Status: WLAN Interworking with 3G Networks

• 3GPP2

– Stage one in final review

– 3 interworking proposals in stage two (Ericsson, Huawei, Lucent)

– Following evolution in 3GPP

• 3GPP

– Stage two in final review

– Six interworking scenarios described

• Common billing and customer care

• 3GPP system-based access control and charging

• Access to 3GPP system PS services

• Service continuity

• Seamless services

• Access to 3GPP system CS services

ERICSSON CDMAALWAYS BEST CONNECTED • OCTOBER 2003 • 15

ABC activity

• Multi-access solution sold to accounts representing CDMA2000, GSM and WCDMA networks across the globe

• Several ABC projects contracted/completed with customers from the wireless operator segment as well as the car industry

ERICSSON CDMAALWAYS BEST CONNECTED • OCTOBER 2003 • 16

ABC Summary

• Complementary services are rolling out

• First multi-access infrastructure being shipped

• ABC networks and services evaluated by arange of companies

• Wireless operator has great opportunity toleverage subscriber relationships

• WLAN is one complementary serviceto differentiate service offering

ERICSSON CDMAALWAYS BEST CONNECTED • OCTOBER 2003 • 17

ABC Summary (CONTINUED)

• New actors likely to enter arena forcommunication services

• As complementary networks expand,maintenance becomes critical

• Brand recognition is best protectedthrough network quality control

• Ad-hoc, semi-proprietary andnetwork solutions are likely todrive the evolution of ABC

• Traditional standards bodies arebeing used to secure harmonizedinterworking
