Alcatel successfully completes Mobile R4 3GPP field trial for Telefónica Moviles in Chile

February 16, 2006 

Alcatel has successfully completed with Telefónica Moviles in Chile a field trial of a Mobile Core R4 3GPP and its associated data backbone.

The  solution  successfully  tested  by  Telefónica  Móviles can seamlessly interconnect   and   interoperate  with  the  existing  GSM/CDMA/TDMA  core networks,  as  well as with mobile radio access systems from other vendors. The mobile core R4 3GPP and its associated data backbone consists of 1 call server,  4  media gateways and 8 data nodes, distributed across Santiago de Chile,  Valparaíso  and  Rancagua.  Additionally, it would allow growth for
corporate customers and, in the future, fixed-mobile convergence.

This  innovative  solution  is  based on the Alcatel 5020 Spatial Atrium, amultistandard   MSC  Server  controlling  distributed  Media  Gateways  and managing  call/session  control  for  voice  and  data  services,  that can simultaneously support multiple generations (2G, 2.5G, 3G) and technologies (GSM/CDMA/TDMA/UMTS) of mobile radio access.

Additionally,  the data solution supplied for mobile access aggregation and backhaul, based on Alcatel 7670 RSP (Routing Switch Platform) and ESE (Edge Services  Extender) products, guarantees connectivity of multiple transport technologies  (ATM,  E1,  Frame  Relay,  TDM, Gigabit Ethernet, IP,...) and quality of service through IP/MPLS technology.
