NEC to launch advanced platform-unit for 3G networks

September 10, 2003


Advanced New Platform for Mobile Operators Employing PICMG Forum Advanced-TCA(TM)

The first product "Packet Core node" realizes advanced 3G services capable of handling large numbers of IP packet traffic

Japan's NEC announced that it has developed an advanced telecom platform-unit based on packet core node which can handle large-volume IP packet transmission applications such as video streaming and GPS (Ground Positioning System) services in 3G services.

NEC said the new platform unit transmit speeds of 1.5 Gbps, that is 10 times larger packet transmission capability than conventional ones and 1/5 of the compact hardware size.

The platform is the world's first working model of an Advanced-TCA (ATCA) based commercial product. ATCA is the world standard for the basic architecture of the next-generation highly advanced telecom platform set by PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) Forum. On the ATCA architecture, the new platform also employs carrier-grade Linux and NEC's middleware. The new platform can drastically reduce development costs by utilizing open software/hardware. This new platform realizes rich services for carriers with carrier-grade reliability, easy operation, and high cost performance.

NEC will soon deliver the new platform unit to its first user, NTT DoCoMo, for an evaluation test. The new products will eventually operate in the FOMA service network, the most advanced 3G network service in the world.

NEC will further develop products for mobile operators based on the new platform by integrating its 3G and IP networking technologies and competence.

"What people expect from mobile internet is video and large volume data transmission capability, as well as higher response speed for end-users on a variety of IP based data services." said Yoshitake Matsuo, Associate Senior Vice President and head of the Mobile Network Business Unit. "In the advanced mobile internet 3G arena, further flexibility to handle various kinds of IP traffic is required. The best solution for the mobile operator is to be equipped with a new type of packet core system capable of high-performance IP packet transmission enabling them to create a balance between their investment and profit."

NEC aims to sell 500 units in the next three years. A basic unit is expected to sell for around 20 million yen ($171,200), a company official told the press.
