France Telecom and Motorola Demonstrate a New Technology

France Telecom and Motorola publicly demonstrated this week an innovative Network Controlled Seamless Mobility. This 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 this project that permits simultaneously to the operator to have a solution that enhances its services quality, optimizes the use of network capacity and achieves a greater end-user experience.

The demonstration showcases 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.

The obtained results will serve the promotion of new standards. The jointly developed technology has been intensively tested in order to anticipate and set up the next generation of standards.
