Fast Track Voice over LTE

This means no OFDM & MIMO for higher speeds.. just some form of priortization of VoIP on 3G HSPxA on the access & core. Why will mobile operators want to give VoIP? ...wont this eat away the current TDM voice revenues...
 
Yes, I know this...

But now you're claiming VC are moving to Alcatel and Huawei because of NS having some great new idea relating to having voice traffic run on their LTE networks... doesn't add up to me.


Oh and currently, you isn't the authoritha (sic)... you're pushing wireless above all else which is an incorrect assumption
 
Well Vodacom is in it for the money, and nothing else. So while there move to Alcatel may not have anything to do with voice over LTE it is still nice to think of it that way because it brings us full circle to core of their business, make profit and nothing else.

As I said before, you are special because you run a multinational corporation from home - you need fixed line at home.
 
Show me any business whose purpose is anything other than making a profit... but making a profit is not their core business, providing a cellular service is their core business, making a profit out of that is the reason they're in business.

There are very def much more important reasons for them to replace their stuff with Alcatel equipment, because if their only reason is to make a profit, then why would they be spending many hundreds of millions replacing equipment that works?

Again, you keep on with some assumption you made about me.... and you keep punting wireless as the best thing since sliced bread when it isn't... its good, but it will never be a complete replacement for wired connections.
 
I am here at GSMA: Nortel & others are using a LG LTE modem (like common laptop Huawei USB 3G modem)- size of a credit card...demonstrated 36Mb/s video with & without QoS... only issue noted was handover... they still doing development... this is an FDD modem. the TDD modems are still the size of a average PC casing. 2 carriers with 2 x 2 MIMO.
 
The potential availability of devices that can support both TDD and FDD versions of LTE technology has taken a big step forward following news today that three of the world’s largest operators have conducted joint laboratory tests on the time-division duplex version of LTE (TD-LTE). The operators – China Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone – initially announced an LTE testing alliance at last year’s event. Twelve months on, Vodafone today released a joint statement noting that their laboratory tests have now proven that the technology is capable of operating effectively in both unpaired (TDD) as well as paired (FDD) spectrum. In the statement, it is claimed that this step is significant in the development of LTE “as a truly global radio access technology.”
China Mobile is planning on eventually migrating its 3G TD-SCDMA standard to next-generation LTE using the TDD version of LTE. Meanwhile, Verizon, Vodafone and most other mobile operators will use the FDD version. Given China Mobile’s position as the world’s largest mobile operator by subscribers, the need for the availability of interoperable devices that can support both versions is apparent. In the statement, it is noted that “a range of chipset suppliers including ST-Ericsson and Qualcomm are developing equipment capable of supporting both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) flavours of the LTE technology in a single device.” Moreover, the statement claims that "the trials are a step towards the goal of developing a single device capable of operating on TD-LTE technology in the case of unpaired spectrum or LTE FDD technology in the case of paired spectrum."
