Radio technologies are becoming more dominant in traditional wireline areas of telecommunications service.
Wireless access technology can offer vital benefits in terms of flexibility, mobility and speed to market for operators and customers. It will continue to mature and develop as wireless standards are created and evolve to provide higher performance and more bandwidth.
There is an opportunity for huge growth for mobile revenues as the developed economics of fixed line business stagnates or falls.

In the mobile arena, there are some significant developments, W-CDMA (3G) is now being deployed operationally and is evolving in accordance with the step releases of standards. Customer migration from GSM is now prominent.
Particular challenges facing the current mobile operators are:
- Improvement of the performance of 3G networks to GSM service levels
- Evolution of their 3G networks to the new 3GPP releases
- Migration from circuit switch (CS) technology to packet switch (PS) technology for all traffic including voice.
Praxis specialists can assist operators to meet these challenges by provision of formal business planning, systems integration, systems engineering, validation, verification and testing capability.
Meanwhile, from a different source, a new mobile wireless access standard, WiMax, has emerged and is beginning to attract great interest. The WiMax standard includes many advanced radio techniques that hold the promise of high performance networks.
Radio networks demand a distinct range of skills and competences in their design and operation. Praxis specialists have the necessary breadth and depth of experience in the design and deployment of radio access networks for success.
Our specialists have designed and deployed radio networks using point-to-point, point-to-multipoint (PMP) and mobile technologies. Our strong capability is directly relevant and applicable to creating WiMax based businesses.
We feel that our experience in wireless spectrum planning, technology and market trialling and full-scale deployment of PMP and mesh access networks makes the difference. |
