ICT™ & 3G Wireless Operators: Dramatic economic benefits and improved consumer experience.

Improving the performance of forward link/downlink, ICT provides gains which ultimately benefit the consumer and operator of CDMA and WCDMA/HSDPA networks. It gives wireless operators—in all carrier frequencies—the flexibility to heighten the consumer’s experience by improving data rates, network capacity and coverage.

When deployed in mobile devices (handsets and data cards), ICT does not require any form factor changes and can be implemented at a fraction of the cost of many other mobile device enhancement solutions. It also maximizes infrastructure investments by using existing base stations and spectrum. Subsequently, ICT can be deployed in a similar manner on the reverse link/uplink when integrated into CDMA and WCDMA/HSxPA base stations to further improve spectral efficiency. Operators can expect:

Superior consumer experience

  • Higher data throughput to the user—greater than 50%
  • Higher data rates over a wider coverage area
  • Fewer dropped calls in heavily loaded networks
  • Increased throughput for every consumer with ICT
  • Increased customer satisfaction and retention; expanded subscriber base

Increased network capacity

  • Accommodates more voice and data users with fewer base stations
  • Higher sector data capacity
  • CAPEX and OPEX savings as capacity efficiency delays infrastructure deployment and operating costs—dramatically lowers the cost per Mbyte
  • Proven gains that have been tested on several major operators’ networks:
    - Base station logs recorded gains
    - Up to 60% capacity gain on the network

Expanded coverage

  • With improved signal—wider, consistent coverage

Ease of deployment

  • Attractive price/performance—exceeds performance of other enhancement technologies at a fraction of the cost, making it viable to deploy in high- and low-end devices
  • Easily deployable in existing mobile device designs—requires no form factor changes
  • Only universally applicable solution—achieves ubiquity from a solution that operates in all carrier frequencies
