Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung Launches Solution for Seamless WiMAX-GSM/EDGE Dual-mode Services

(Top News, 15 Feb 2008)


Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung has unveiled an optimized device-plus-infrastructure solution that will enable end-users to have seamless access to their voice and data services when switching between GSM/EDGE and WiMAX networks. The optimized end-to-end solution, which tightly integrates the dual-mode PDA and network equipment from Alcatel-Lucent, will enable operators to blend GSM/EDGE and WiMAX networks and thus offer their mobile subscribers wireless data and voice service that span an entire nation. Operators will be able to gradually roll out wireless broadband services using the most advanced WiMAX standard, Rev-e (802.16e-2005), because when their subscribers move out of WiMAX range the existing GSM/EDGE network will immediately pick up the connection without disruption in the subscriber's session or call. This includes international roaming as well as movement from WiMAX-rich urban/suburban settings into rural areas—with the standardized end-to-end solution supporting seamless connections for both voice and data.

Alcatel-Lucent and Samsung are collaborating on the solution¡¯s specifications, testing and deployment to optimize network and device architectures based on a unified protocol. This will ensure security and mobility-management control for operator customers. As part of the effort, they will contribute to standardization, working with organizations such as the WiMAX Forum and 3GPP.
