Huawei (News - Alert), an information and communication technology (ICT) solutions provider, has successfully completed an end-to-end voice interoperability test for LTE (News - Alert) TDD to CDMA leveraging Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 400 (8X30) processor.
Kevin Wu, president for CDMA/LTE Wireless Networks at Huawei, said, “This successful test is a milestone for the commercialization of LTE voice technologies. It gives CDMA operators more choices for smoothly evolving to a wholly integrated LTE system, and reaffirms Huawei’s commitment to protect existing investments and improving the operational efficiency of multi-mode and multi-frequency networks.”
The interoperability test also included Qualcomm (News - Alert) solutions for CSFB, or circuit switched fallback, and eCSFB, or Enhanced CSFB. CSFB and eCSFB voice solutions are imperative during the initial deployment of LTE networks.
It helps operators who are continuing to prepare for a smooth evolution to VoLTE. These solutions allow users to seamlessly enjoy high-speed data services along with high-quality CDMA voice services. The solutions ensure that there is no undesirable impact on overall user experience, said officials.
CSFB and eCSFB solutions from Huawei form part of the company’s SoftMobile suite of solutions. These solutions are based on the SingleRAN technology.
As the industry moves away from voice-and-text, pure-pipe services, carriers will be able to benefit from greater data diversity and realize more new vertical market revenue streams. SoftMobile delivers a wide range of broadband, orchestration and on-demand network features which optimizes the formation of new MBB business models.
Qualcomm and Huawei have already completed a voice interoperability test for LTE FDD to CDMA successfully in 2012.
Huawei Technologies also announced that the HVS85T high-end storage system will be purchased by China Telecom (News - Alert) Corporation in 2013, as part of a centralized procurement of IT products by the telecom.
Huawei launched HVS high-end storage products in 2012, which have passed strict tests set forth by the Guangzhou Research Institute of China Telecom and met the network access requirements of the latter for telecom IT equipment.
