eAccess of Japan is believed to become the first operator in the world to launch a Mixed Mode solution for WCDMA and LTE with the help of Ericsson.
By switching to this new technology, eAccess customers will enjoy an enhanced user experience. It will also simplify the process of adjusting frequency allocation in the future as traffic demand shifts from WCDMA to LTE, allowing the operator to optimize its use of spectrum. Commercial launch of the Mixed Mode solution will begin in major cities across the country from March 2012.
Eric Gan, Representative Director, President of eAccess Ltd. said, "Ericsson's global leadership, experience and vision for LTE were the key factors behind our decision to select the company as our LTE network partner."
Jan Signell, President, Ericsson Japan said, "As mobile broadband is enabling the Networked Society, this is yet another important step toward realizing Ericsson's vision. Ericsson's LTE technology and experience will allow us to take a smarter approach to addressing the complexity that comes with the exponential growth in data exchange. With LTE access, the operator can meet users' demands for new and enhanced mobile internet applications of the future."
Under the terms of the agreement, Ericsson will provide eAccess with full turnkey Network Rollout, Network Optimization & Consulting, and upgrade the Packet Core network to Evolved Packet Core architecture.
