Sprint agrees to $1 billion credit deal to buy Ericsson network equipment
Like UnlikeFiled in: EricssonSprint
Sprint has announced a new $1 billion credit agreement that will be used to purchase equipment from Ericsson for the carrier's Network Vision project. Deutsche Bank leads the group of banks that will be providing the credit facility, and the purchased equipment will help Sprint build out its LTE network, for which the carrier was just recently granted permission to use its 800MHz spectrum. The network is expected to go live in six markets by the middle of this year, with the full rollout due in 2013. And this might not be the last financing news we hear from Sprint — the company revealed last year that it may also require $7 billion in financing to cover the $15.5 billion in subsidies it's p...

ST-Ericsson to fire 1,700 employees
Like UnlikeFiled in: Ericsson
ST-Ericsson, as the name implies, is a joint venture that was setup between STMicroelectronics and Ericsson back in February 2009. You’ve probably never heard of them, and for good reason too. There’s no nice way of saying, so here it goes: They move at a snail’s in an industry that demands them to run like a cheetah. ST-Ericsson may have been the first company to ship an HSPA+ smartphone modem that could do 42 Mbps down, but then Qualcomm added that to their chips, along with 4G LTE. ST-Ericsson was also one of the first companies to talk about using ARM’s Cortex A15 processor, but Texas Instruments will beat them to market with the OMAP5. Let’s also not forget about the NovaThor L8540, whi...

Rumor: HTC is working with ST-Ericsson on their own custom chip
Like UnlikeFiled in: HTCEricsson
Apple’s engineers custom designed the A4, A5, and A5X chips that are found inside their products. Samsung puts their own Exynos chips inside their smartphones and tablets. Back in February of this year, Huawei announced that they’re going to fit a custom chip inside their flagship Android device, the Ascend D1 Quad. This begs the question, when are others going to get in on the custom action? According to Unwired View, HTC is working together with ST-Ericsson on a custom chip that’s purpose built for low-end Android smartphones due to hit the market in 2013. We don’t know how much work HTC is actually going to do with regards to the chip design process, but something tells us that they’re go...

Qualcomm and Ericsson Demonstrate SR-VCC Voice Handover from LTE to WCDMA on MSM8960
Like UnlikeFiled in: Ericsson
Until now, the way voice has worked on handsets with a 4G LTE air interface has been, well, interesting. That is to say, thus far all voice calls haven't been over 4G LTE but conventional circuit-switched (as opposed to packet-switched) 2G or 3G networks like CDMA2000 1x in 3GPP2 land, or WCDMA/GSM in 3GPP land. For example, on Verizon LTE the handset has a second radio always camping 1x for voice and SMS, and on AT&T LTE the handset falls back from LTE to WCDMA for the voice transaction. This is CSFB - Circuit-Switched FallBack. LTE deployments thus far have focused primarily on data connectivity for a variety of reasons, and further logistical hurdles like emergency call support has made V...

Ericsson predicts 5 billion mobile data users by 2016
Like UnlikeFiled in: Ericsson
We all know that mobile is big business and that usage is exploding all around the globe, but Ericsson decided to put some numbers on just how crazy it's all going to get. The company has a number of predictions based on its Traffic and Market Data report, which point to mobile data usage increasing quite a lot in just the next 5 years.
Ericsson is annoyingly vague about how it came up with the data, citing nebulous "measurements" which were "recorded over several years". That doesn't help us in believing the predictions, but the numbers themselves are pretty intriguing. Ericsson is predicting that mobile data subscriptions will jump from approximately 900 million today to almost 5 billion ...

Ericsson trials LTE Advanced with 10x the speed in Sweden
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesEricsson
Ericsson has demonstrated the next generation of LTE networks in Sweden that promises 10 times the speed of the already fast LTE that we know today.
Called LTE Advanced, the new network uses larger chunks of carrier spectrum and extended multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) functionality to hit speeds of up to 900Mbps in the trials. The demonstration used 60MHz allocations of spectrum, compared to the 20MHz that is currently used by LTE today.
Ericsson expects the new LTE Advanced technology to be commercially viable by 2013. At that point we can expect AT&T to throw its hands up in the air and say there is just not enough spectrum available, as it is already having trouble piecing togethe...
