MARKET VIEW
IP-based UTRAN cost is much less than ATM-based UTRAN Pseudo-wire is used to transport ATM over IP (one IP
backbone) Prepares mobile operators effectively for a future evolution to native IP in the mobile network (HSPA+, LTE solution) Single IP network for the Transport Plane, the Control Plane, and the Operations and Maintenance Plane
3G in China : Three licenses China Mobile: TD-SCDMA China Telecom: Pursue CDMA2000 EV-DO path (however choose LTE for 4G) China Unicom: Choose 3G WCDMA
WCDMA vendor: Alcatel-Lucent, in fact Alcatel Shanghai Bell (ASB) WCDMA HSxPA product: last version with hybrid Iub & Iu-PS over IP Core network: Huaweis MSTP solution
