Ericsson presents the Mobile@Hometm concept

With the Mobile@Hometm concept your mobile phone will be powered with wireless Bluetoothtm and the speed of fixed IP access. Mobile@Home gives you up to 700 kbit/s on your mobile phone.

Mobile@Home is a fixed-mobile convergence concept using the fixed network to carry present and future mobile services (e.g. video mail and Internet access) all the way to the home or office. By combining the high bandwidth of the fixed access network with the wirelessness of Bluetoothtm, Mobile@Home makes it possible to deliver high bandwidth to the mobile phone.

"Mobile@Home provides high bandwidth and seamless service meaning, the same services are available both at the office and at home," said Jørgen Yde Jensen, President, Ericsson Diax A/S "Mobile@Home gives you the personal phone where you have one number, one phone everywhere. This does not only support the trend of home offices but it also provides convenience by making all services available everywhere. It is a solution that will revolutionize the perception of what is possible with your mobile."

Using Mobile@Home requires a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and a Bluetooth Home Base Station (HBS) placed at the home or office. Through fast IP access (ADSL, Cable Modem etc.) the HBS connects into the standard Mobile Core Network through a Home Base Station Controller (HBSC). It is possible to connect three voice channels and four data channels simultaneously. When connected to the HBS data rates of up to 700 kbit/s are available.

The HBSC connects into the existing GSM/UMTS core network. The interfaces used between the HBSC and the mobile core network are all standard interfaces, which means that all mobile services are available.

The principle is to get seamless services between the Home Base Station and the public mobile network and to reuse the existing mobile roaming and hand-over procedures from the public network.
