Long-Distance IP Video Call Based on 3GPP

ASIA : Huawei Technologies, a global supplier of telecom infrastructure and telecom service, announced that the company has made the IP video call between Beijing and Shenzhen with its WCDMA gears.

Huawei made the IP video call in its own WCDMA pilot networks located in Shenzhen and Beijing, using commercial WCDMA handsets and its R4 network equipment. This is the first R4-based IP video call on WCDMA ever made in China.

3GPP R4 is the first step of WCDMA towards an all-IP multimedia era. It enables the mobile video telephony service, which is one of the most popular applications in 3G, to be carried on the IP network. Leveraging soft-switch architecture, Huawei's WCDMA core network can substantially increase the efficiency of the whole network and reduce OPEX by a large margin. It can smoothly evolve to R5 and even R6, thus protecting the investment of operators.

"For the whole industry their task is they should act to bring people more convenient and efficient approaches of communications. More colorful while still affordable by the majority," said Mr. Yu Chengdong, Vice President in charge of research and development at Huawei. "Keeping this in mind, Huawei is making great efforts to realize the mostadvanced technology of 3G for our customers with the most cost-effective solutions."
