Motorola Introduces New CDMA EV-DO Base Site Controller
Motorola has announced the availability of a new IP-BSC-DO, a scalable EV-DO Base Site Controller (BSC) platform aimed at CDMA operators who are upgrading their DO broadband data capacity. The new IP BSC provides 12 times the site capacity and IP data session capacity compared to the first generation DO BSC, while using significantly less floorspace.
The new IP-BSC-DO is expected to be available for commercial shipment to operators worldwide in Q2 2008.
The new product utilizes custom application software integrated into emerging telecom industry standard ATCA hardware platform technology to provide a highly scalable and cost efficient BSC solution.
“The increased capacity and bandwidth of Motorola’s IP-BSC-DO significantly reduces the number of EV-DO base site controllers an operator needs to operate their network,” said Darren McQueen, vice president, Home & Networks Mobility, Motorola. “This means they can trim both capital and operational expenses while delivering an enhanced broadband experience to their customers.”
Motorola’s IP-BSC-DO combines EV-DO packet controller functions (PCF) with the operations and maintenance controller in a single Motorola platform for CDMA2000 EV-DO. The functions of the IP-BSC-DO include CDMA2000 EV-DO traffic and signaling control and routing between a Radio Access Network (RAN) and the Packet Data Serving Node (PDSN), authentication of users attempting to access the EV-DO system, and operator management of the IP-BSC-DO.
