Huawei and Qualcomm have completed Europe’s first multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) field trial, carried out in conjunction with Telecom Italia. The trial, which was conducted by means of Huawei’s MBMS solution, together with handsets powered by Qualcomm’s MSM7201A chipset, demonstrated MBMS service deliveries of between 128 kbps and 256 kbps under various indoor and outdoor MBMS channel conditions.
Test results also indicated that in some conditions, MBMS technologies enabled greater service reception and capacity than expected, thus enhancing MBMS’s potential within the commercial network environment.
