CHENNAI: Ericsson today announced a joint effort with Intel Corporation to accelerate deployment of services and applications on mobile PCs, powered by Ericsson's mobile broadband and IMS solutions and Intel Core Micro-architecture for mobile clients and servers.
The joint effort aims to accelerate the market uptake of mobile broadband and multimedia services usage, through a more convenient and attractive experience for consumers and enterprises.
Ericsson said in a statement that both companies would work together on integrating solutions for mobile operators, enabling them to provide mobile broadband service packages for both enterprises and consumers using the mobile PC. These integrated solutions will be based on Ericsson's HSPA (high speed packet access) platform for mobile broadband and IMS platform for convergence with Intel's Mobile technology, providing best user experience, security and reliability.
The collaboration also includes marketing and technology enabling programs for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to develop, validate and bring to market multimedia applications for mobile networks.
Bert Nordberg, executive vice president, Ericsson, said, "The mobile PC with embedded mobile broadband represents an exciting and strong revenue opportunity for mobile operators, both for access and services.”
Ericsson and Intel have a mutual interest to stimulate the market, to promote open standards and make it easier to create and deploy new services for mobile broadband. The aim is to accelerate the market adoption of multimedia services such as enterprise, communication and collaboration, interactive TV, gaming, music, community networking and professional applications.
Ericsson will demonstrate mobile broadband and IMS-based services on mobile PCs powered by HSPA and Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology during ITU Telecom World 2006, which will take place in Hong Kong on December 4-8.
