France Telecom and Motorola demonstrate seamless mobility
France Telecom and Motorola have publicly demonstrated Network Controlled Seamless Mobility, one of the results of the companies’ seamless mobility strategic partnership signed in January 2005.The collaboration aims at developing and deploying new and innovative integrated services using a wide range of devices, applications, and wireless access networks and technologies for the enterprise and consumer space.
The France Telecom and Motorola labs research teams have collaborated on several projects including Network Controlled Seamless Mobility. It is said to offer the operator a solution that enhances its service quality, optimizes the use of network capacity and achieves a greater end-user experience.
The result of the development shows that seamless mobility can be experienced with a wide range of applications while the handover is controlled by the operator network with IP protocols. In this solution, the handover decision is managed with centralized information regarding radio link conditions, access networks load, application quality of service (QoS) needs, user preferences, and operator policies.
The demonstration showcase video streaming from a remote application server to the A910 Motorola handset where a seamless handover between EDGE and WiFi occurs at the optimized instant for the network operator and user.
