10036, SWEDEN, Oct 21, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) today announced that its Converged Packet
Gateway (CPG) has been named a recipient of the 2009 4GWE LTE
Visionary Award by Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC), a global
integrated media company, in conjunction with Crossfire Media.
Ericsson's Converged Packet Gateway (CPG), part of the company's
comprehensive Evolved Packet Core offering, enables operators to
offer cost-effective broadband services to fixed and mobile
subscribers. The CPG is currently being deployed in the world's first
LTE offerings from Verizon, TeliaSonera and MetroPCS. The 4GWE LTE
Visionary Award honors products that demonstrate the planning and
vision of delivering wireless broadband services.
"Ericsson's achievements in advancing 4G through LTE development is
worthy of being selected as recipient of the 4GWE LTE Visionary
Award," said Carl Ford, co-founder and community developer, Crossfire
Media. "Ericsson is an innovator and one to watch for the next
evolution of solutions."
"As operators continue to transform their networks to IP and
introduce bandwidth intensive services, it's imperative they deliver
a seamless and consistent user-experience across fixed and mobile
networks," said Melih Tufan, Head of Packet Networks, IP & Broadband
at Ericsson. "We are happy to accept this 4G industry award which
comes on the heels of the real-world validation we've already
received from the first network operators to deploy LTE. The CPG
plays a central role in next generation converged networks that will
support the 50 billion connections we expect by 2020."
Ericsson's CPG supports mobility between LTE and interworking with
WCDMA/GSM networks as well as non-3G access networks, such as fixed
wireless and Wireless LAN. This allows for a smooth implementation
and gradual transition to a common core network for mobile and fixed
broadband. The CPG is based on Ericsson's proven 480Gbit/s throughput
SmartEdge 1200 platform, providing the telecom-quality reliability
operators demand.
"It is an honor to bestow Ericsson with this award. Their
contribution toward the future of mobile broadband is commendable,"
stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "I look forward to more innovation
from Ericsson in the future."
