MOBICOM IS PROVIDING MOBILE BROADBAND 3G TO MONGOLIA

Mongolian operator MobiCom has launched the first high-speed mobile broadband network in the country, powered by HSPA technology from Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC). The launch enables MobiCom to introduce mobile broadband services to its subscribers across Mongolia, starting in the capital Ulaanbaatar where about 40 percent of the country's 3 million inhabitants live.

Ericsson's leading HSPA technology provides fast data-transmission speeds, boosts network capacity and lowers response times for interactive services. The new HSPA-enabled network will allow MobiCom to offer a range of new services, such as high-speed mobile internet access, video telephony, multimedia messaging (MMS) and other innovative multimedia services related to e-health and e-commerce.
Under the contract, Ericsson is the sole supplier of the WCDMA/HSPA radio access network. It is also responsible for network deployment and a wide range of professional services, including systems integration of MobiCom's multi-vendor network, support and competence development.
Bolor Dorjnamjil, CEO of MobiCom Corporataion LLC, says: "This launch reflects MobiCom's continuous commitment to offering its subscribers the latest services and applications. MobiCom was the first operator to introduce mobile services in Mongolia and is now launching the country's first mobile broadband services. Ericsson's experience in 2G-3G network deployments and extensive support capacity make it the ideal partner for this project."
Jan Campbell, Head of Easter Europe and Central Asia, at Ericsson, says: "It is a great honor to be MobiCom's partner for this milestone launch of the first 3G network in the country. We are confident that mobile broadband services will further facilitate the development of world-class communications in Mongolia for the benefit of its people."
Ericsson's cooperation with MobiCom started in 2004 and includes contracts for GSM radio access and transmission.

WIBRO IN TROUBLE?

South Korea officials say the country’s mobile WiMax licenses should be revoked and other sanctions imposed because the country is not getting the rollout citizens were promised, Light Reading reports.

In 2005, Korea Telecom, primarily a landline phone/broadband company, along with Hanaro Telecom (now SK Broadband), and SK Telecom (a cellular operator with 50% market share), received licenses for WiBro, although Hanaro returned its license in the same year.

The companies agreed to invest $1 billion on infrastructure, and the government set a target of 1.4 million subscribers by 2009. South Korea launched Mobile WiMAX in 2006, but the rollout has been slow — especially with SK Telecom, which probably prefers a cellular-centric, HSPA solution.

To date, KT and SKT still have $200 million to $300 million in capex left to invest, says Tae-Hyung Kim, Asia/Pacific analyst at Pyramid Research.

As of the end of June, KT had 218,454 WiBro subscribers, according to the company’s figures. SKT does not publish its WiBro subscriber numbers separately, but Kim believes the number stood at just 20,000 in April this year, although the company has a target of 100,000 by the end of the year.

KT has improved takeup recently with a 29 percent rise in revenues quarter-on-quarter. The company’s CFO, Yeon-Hak Kim, KT expects the growth trend to continue in the second half of the year, when notebooks embedded with both WiBro and WiFi technology are introduced.

Despite such improvements, WiBro is very much the bridesmaid to HSPA’s bride, says Unstrung. As of the end of June, Korea had just shy of 22 million HSPA subscribers, according to Wireless Intelligence, some 47 percent of the total mobile subscriber base.

WiBro coverage is limited to Seoul and its surrounding areas, whereas HSPA is nationwide. But, according to Unstrung, Pyramid’s Kim says even if the operators completed their promised investments, nationwide coverage is out of the question. “Depending on the amount of the fine, I personally think operators would prefer to have WiBro licenses revoked just to get done with the issue, he suggests.”

He also believes the government will not follow through on its threat to rescind the licenses: “After spending a huge sum in paying royalties to Qualcomm for [CDMA] 2G networks, the government tried to develop a home-grown technology — WiBro — that vendors could export, rather than import. The government created a WiBro hype that pushed a lot of local SMEs into investing in it, so it can’t back off WiBro now, even if it knows that WiBro doesn’t make much business sense at this point.”

The decision on government action will rest with the Korea Communications Committee, and it’s not clear when it will make a ruling on the issue.

NOKIA AND ALVARION TO MOBILE WIMAX

Alvarion announced today that it has agreed to expand their OEM agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks. Nokia Siemens Networks will resell Alvarion’s latest Mobile WiMAX solutions to Nokia Siemens Networks’ current and prospective WiMAX customers. Nokia currently has WiMAX in 14 countries.

Nokia Siemens Networks will resell the Alvarion 4Motion® Mobile WiMAX Solution, including the BreezeMAX base stations, ASN Gateways and 4Motion Element Management System. Nokia’s WiMAX architecture (pdf) supports “open” R6 architecture between ASN Gateways and basestations, as does Alvarion.

Alvarion’s Star Management Suite is designed to manage complete WiMAX network infrastructure, enabling operators to simplify management of IP services such as VoIP and IPTV while enhancing quality of service in a centralized, integrated manner.

The company will also provide deployment, management and maintenance services for the products and leverage its multi-vendor capabilities. Alvarion and Nokia Siemens Networks are already cooperating on WiMAX projects under this expanded agreement. Nokia’s OEM agreement with Alvarion will keep NSN in the WiMAX ball game. And the mobile WiMAX market is likely to be significant, even if LTE eventually dominates broadband wireless, as Nokia believes.

Nokia Siemens Networks originally said they would be a major player in WiMAX, and was one of Clear’s three major suppliers, but has recently largely abandoned their own WiMAX development in favor of LTE. There is clear difference between the WiMAX and LTE in terms business focus. WiMAX is focused on internet access and LTE is focused on voice.

Alvarion’s similar OEM agreement with Nortel Networks ended with Alvarion getting stung on payment, after shipping a ton of equipment to Nortel.

On January 14, 2009, Nortel filed for protection from creditors in order to restructure its debt and financial obligations. At its height, Nortel accounted for more than a third of the total valuation of all the companies listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Nortel’s market capitalization fell from C$398 billion in September 2000 to less than $5 billion in August 2002, and their stock price plunged from C$124 to $0.47.

This week, Swedish telecom equipment maker Ericsson said it is in the bidding for Nortel’s mobile network unit. Ericsson reportedly submitted a bid worth $730 million, competing with a $650 million bid from Nokia Siemens Networks for Nortel’s CDMA and LTE wireless technology businesses. RIM had said it was prepared to pay up to $1.1 billion for Nortel’s wireless business and other undisclosed assets, but had been prevented from participating in the auction unless it agreed to refrain from bidding on other Nortel assets. On July 28, a judge at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware will decide on which bidder should get the assets. A similar hearing in Canada is scheduled for July 30.

SPRINT 3G/4G WIRELESS USB MODEM

Sprint Nextel announced Wednesday that it will start selling dual-mode 3G/4G wireless broadband modems for laptops starting Sunday.

The new device allows users to access both Sprint's 3G cellular data network and the new 4G WiMax wireless network the company is building as part of the new Clearwire venture.

The modem known as the Sprint 3G/4G USB Modem U300 will use the new 4G Clearwire network with download speeds between 2 Mbps and 4Mbps where that network is available. And when users are out of range of the 4G wireless network, they will automatically be able to access Sprint's 3G network, which offers average downloads of between 600 Kbps and 1.4 Mbps, according to Sprint.

Sprint launched the 4G WiMax network called Xohm in Baltimore in October, just months before it officially merged its WiMax network with Clearwire's network. The service will be launched in other markets across the country throughout 2009.

At the Baltimore launch, Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse promised a wireless data device that would allow users to access both networks for better coverage.

"It will take a while for the new (4G) network to be built ubiquitously," Hesse said during the Baltimore press event. "And we will have new multimode devices that will use 4G where it's available, and when it's not, it will downshift to 3G to provide that ubiquitous data coverage."

The new wireless modem connects via a standard USB port and costs $149.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a two-year subscription to the wireless data service. The wireless modem will be available through Sprint's direct business sales force and at most Baltimore-area Sprint stores and select Baltimore-area retailers, the company said. Starting in January, the device will also be available in Baltimore-area Best Buy stores.

The new wireless modem from Sprint will likely be a better deal for most consumers because the service, which costs $79.99 per month, offers the best coverage at the best price.

Several notebook manufacturers, including Acer, Asus, Lenovo, and Toshiba, are including Intel's WiMax/Wi-Fi module in new laptops, so that users can access the 4G WiMax network. But these devices do not have Sprint's 3G wireless technology integrated into them. This means that users would have to subscribe to both a 4G WiMax service from Clearwire, which regularly costs $45 per month (a $15 discount is available for the first six months), and Sprint's 3G wireless service, which costs $59.99 per month, if they wanted wireless broadband service nationwide. And because the 3G and 4G radio frequency technologies aren't integrated in these laptops, the devices would not seamlessly switch between the 3G and 4G networks.

A Sprint spokesman said the company and its partners will eventually offer embedded dual-mode 3G/4G technology in other devices. But he also pointed out that the laptops that use Intel's embedded WiMax technology and the dual mode 3G/4G modem are really aimed at different sets of customers.

The embedded laptops are for users who only need high speed wireless access close to home, while the 3G/4G modem is for road warriors who may find themselves far from Baltimore or any of the other WiMax enabled cities.

HUAWEI IS CLEARWIRE WIMAX SUPPLIER

Huawei has made the cut as a supplier to Clearwire WiMAX network, reports the WSJ.

Under the three-year deal, Huawei will supply WiMax gear to Clearwire. Clearwire currently uses Motorola and Samsung gear and planned to use infrastructure from Nokia Networks, until they dropped their WiMAX development. Cisco’s WiMAX unit, which bought beamforming innovator Navini Networks, will also provide equipment to Clearwire.

Baltimore’s Xohm service uses ZyXEL 206M2 residential clients and Samsung’s SWC-E100 express card. Clear uses clients by Motorola as well as infrastructure.

Clear plans to expand to 80 markets by the end of 2010, deploying roughly 20,000 base stations at a cost of $150,000 each. Huawei has sold gear to 45 WiMax networks around the world. Clearwire’s CTO John Saw said that Huawei was chosen because of its ability to support a wide-reaching deployment at a low cost.

The giant Chinese telecom vendor, will gain a major foothold in the United States and may help it’s LTE thrust for cellular operators. Huawei faces little competition in the market for LTE gear, opines Om Malik, with Nortel and Alcatel-Lucent in financial difficulty. Vodafone will use Huwaei gear in its LTE trials. Vodafone Germany and Huawei will test the performance of LTE in the 790-862MHz band using Huawei’ s end-to-end LTE solution and opened their Long Term Evolution laboratory in Richardson, Texas. Huawei is a 100% employee-owned company with no Chinese government ownership. Ericsson is currently the largest LTE proponent.

Clearwire has spectrum — some 120 MHz of greenfield spectrum in major cities. If Clear could re-sell some of that asset to LTE-based cellular carriers, they would be sitting pretty. Carriers don’t want to become a “dumb” pipe — not even Clear.

Clear could fight cellular Goliaths — or make money on them.

In June, Huawei launched what it proclaimed the world’s first commercial WiMax distributed base station (DBS) with four transmitters and four receivers (4T4Rs). With better coverage, operators may reduce the number of base stations and lower their total cost of ownership.

Huawei’s equipment is compatible with multiple kinds of wireless technology. That includes what the other carriers are deploying, said Charlie Chen, a marketing and product management executive for Huawei. Huawei’s WASN9770 can provide end-to-end funtionality and supports profile C from the WiMAX Forum. Clearwire could conceivably change technologies down the line if it needed to.

Profile C, as defined by the Wimax forum Network Working Group (archive), stipulates an open and non-proprietary interface standard between basestations (BTS) and the internet gateway (ASN Gateway). Profile C operators are not tied into one vendor for BTS and ASN Gateway equipment.

The WiMAX Forum hopes to break the classic 2G/3G closed architecture model and standardize on Profile C. That enables operators to deploy radio and network equipment from different vendors based on a single “R6″ interface. The “open” approach allows easier handoff between different service providers who can use gear from different vendors.

Despite the apparent advantages of Profile C, some ‘turnkey’ vendors are still successfully tempting operators with two non-open approaches between the BTS and ASN Gateway: Profile A and Profile B. Both Profiles can create vendor lock-ins.

  • Profile A: WiMAX-defined standard interface between ASN gateway and base station, with more radio resource control functions in the ASN gateway. Alcatel-Lucent is an advocate of Profile A, which must have the same supplier for both the BTS and the ASN Gateway.
  • Profile B: No defined interface between ASN gateway and base station. WiMAX suppliers like Cisco started out with profile B (through its acquisition of Navini Networks), but is now shifting to Profile C.
  • Profile C: WiMAX-defined standard interface between ASN gateway and base station. It has more radio resource functions in the base station and a focus on the air interface. Alvarion supports Profile C and continues to promote OPEN WiMAX approach (pdf) in their open WiMAX architecture.

Some companies (like Motorola), are said to have hardware pieces that are difficult to change to an “open”, Profile C. For some operators, if the price and performance is right, Profile A or B can be a reasonable (if not ideal) solution, despite the vendor lockdown.

Ericsson expects 80% of mobile broadband services will be enabled by cellular by 2012, using HSPA and LTE technologies. Ericsson CEO Carl-Henric Svanberg said the bulk of mobile broadband deployments in the coming five years will be based on HSPA. According to Unstrung, Svanberg forecast 3.5 billion high-speed access lines globally, about 80 percent of which would be via wireless, rather than fixed. Of the 3 billion mobile broadband lines, about 70 percent will be HSPA, predicts Ericsson.

ALVARION WIMAX GOES

Italy Unwired by Alvarion WiMAX

Alvarion announced today an agreement with Italy telecom operator Aria to deploy Mobile WiMAX throughout Italy. The network will be at the 3.5 GHz frequency to offer broadband services to all 21 regions in Italy using Alvarion’s 4Motion Mobile WiMAX solution.

Italy’s 58 million highly-dense population makes WiMAX the most economical and high-performance technology says the company. Alvarion’s 4Motion is an advanced and field-proven solution for delivering innovative WiMAX services for a range of broadband applications in rural, suburban and urban environments.

Aria currently holds nationwide WiMAX licenses at the 3.5 GHz frequency bands in Italy. By using Alvarion’s Open WiMAX solution, Aria will be able to meet the growing demand for broadband services in the country.

Mobile WiMAX is usually implemented on the 2.3 or 2.6 GHz band, so this network is somewhat unusual. Almost all licenses for 3.5 GHz spectrum in Europe currently restrict usage to fixed or nomadic services (not mobile). Few countries allow the spectrum to be used for mobility services, and other countries are in various stages of planning to open the frequencies for such usage.

Aria S.P.A., founded in 2005, has become one of the most important Italian Wireless Internet Service Providers. In January 2008, Aria won the auction of 3.5GHz radio frequencies in all Italian regions.

Telecom Italia (TI) and Aria signed an agreement to collaborate over WiMAX distribution, enabling the companies to extend access to broadband services in areas not yet reached by ADSL-based services. The agreement grants Aria the right to use TI’s 3.5GHz band frequency allocation in nine central and southern regions of the country (Abruzzo, Umbria, Lazio, Molise, Puglia, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria and Sardinia).

In return TI will be able to supply its own customers with WiMAX services via Aria’s nationwide ‘white label’ wholesale offering. TI is Italy’s foremost broadband network, with 36 million subscribers and more than 7 million domestic broadband connections, according to research by Hoover’s.

Although Alvarion did not release the dollar value of the deal, market sources estimate it at $20 million, over three years. Alvarion has signed six contracts since the beginning of the month. The company has an orders backlog of over $100 million.

Alvarion, Open Range To Build 17 State Net

Alvarion, the world’s leading provider of WiMAX and wireless broadband solutions, today announced it was selected by U.S. broadband wireless operator, Open Range Communications, for the nation’s largest Rural Utilities Service (RUS) funded deployment spanning 17 states, 546 rural communities, and reaching up to 6 million people. With this new broadband wireless network, Open Range will begin offering state-of-the-art 4G services to un-served and underserved customers across rural America in the fourth quarter of this year.

Under the terms of the contract, expected to be more than US$100 million over five years, Alvarion will provide radio access equipment, customer devices (CPE) and systems integration.

Some of the unique attributes available through this “always on” wireless broadband network include:

  • Simple and instant service activation
  • Voice and data capabilities
  • WiFi for connectivity to existing PCs
  • Highly secure network communication

Based on Alvarion’s WiMAX Forum Certified 802.16e BreezeMAX solution, the new Open Range 4G network, will give millions of rural Americans wireless broadband services where they live and work.

“Open Range’s unique business model focuses on delivering wireless high-speed Internet and voice services to un-served and underserved communities,” said Open Range founder and CEO, Bill Beans Jr.

Alvarion was the first WiMAX equipment supplier to receive USDA acceptance as well as “Buy American” status from the USDA RUS for two of its BreezeMAX base stations in July 2008. Both RUS and “Buy American” designations are required for operators requesting federal funds from the Rural Broadband Access Loan program for the purpose of purchasing and deploying broadband systems.

Alvarion offers a complete line of RUS-accepted solutions with “Buy American” status using a range of unlicensed, semi-licensed and licensed frequencies. Alvarion says you can build your rural wireless network using 3.65, 5.3, 5.4, 5.8, 4.9, 2.3 or 2.5 GHz and qualify for funding by using RUS-accepted Alvarion solutions if you are currently working on projects to bring wireless broadband access to rural communities or have plans to develop such projects.

Within the next five years, Open Range intends to serve 546 communities with portable and eventually mobile voice and Internet services, making its services initially available to approximately six million people. In addition to portability, they will offer a minimum speeds of 1.5 Mbps down and 512 kbps up for less than $40 per month with voice less than $30 per month, including unlimited nationwide calling.

HUAWEI WIMAX

Huawei is a finalist for a major WiMAX infrastructure contract with Clearwire, according to the Wall Street Journal. The report, citing an unnamed person familiar with the matter, said that Huawei is competing for the contract along with Motorola, Nokia Siemens Networks and Samsung Electronics.

Clearwire is likely to choose more than one vendor for its network and it’s unknown how much the potential contract is worth. Motorola infrastructure gear, like the WAP 450 WiMAX Access Point was used in Portland, while Samsung infrastructure was used in Baltimore.

Huawei provides a carrier-level and end-to-end WiMAX solution including distributed Base Stations (BBU3703, RRU3701C), ASN-GW (WASN9770), Network Management System (AAA, M2000), and Customer Premises Equipment.

Its DBS3900 WiMAX base station and at least two of its terminal products, the BM325 and BM625, are are Wave 2 certified by the WiMAX Forum.

As of September 2008, Huawei’s total number of WiMAX 16e commercial contracts had reached 31, ranking Huawei in first place for global WiMAX 16e commercial network contracts.

Huawei’s WiMAX is serving many significant operators including Globe in Philippines, STC in Saudi Arabia, Vodacom in South Africa, Mobilink and Augere/FT in Pakistan, Méditel /Telefonica in Morocco, and Mobily/Etisalat in Saudi Arabia.

Huawei has won smaller deals in the United States, such as regional, low-cost cell phone provider Leap Wireless, but for the most part, the company has struggled to get a toehold in the U.S. market

UQ COMMUNICATIONS ROLLING WIMAX IN JAPAN

WIMAX PRICE IN PAKISTAN

TMCnet says a recent survey found Pakistani broadband users enjoy inexpensive broadband compared to other parts of the world. Pakistans ISPs are offering a 1 MB link for (USD) $15/mo.

In 2004, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) introduced two types of licence for ISPs – regional and nationwide, and also exempted them from Central Excise Duty. Since liberalisation, over the past four years, the Pakistani telecom sector has attracted more than USD 5.6 billion in foreign investments. During 2007/08, the Pakistani telecoms sector alone received USD 1.44 million in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) – about 30 per cent of the country’s total foreign direct investment.

Wateen has one of Motorola’s largest mobile WiMAX deployments. Wateen Telecom is Abu Dhabi Group’s investment in Pakistan, and the leading “Carrier’s Carrier”.

Wateen’s commercial launch of mobile WiMAX services began with 22 major cities (pdf).

Wateen is likely to see growing WiMax competition from operators including Wi-Tribe, Mobilink and LinkDotNet in Pakistan.
