Compare and Contrast :- Mobile Networks(GSM/CDMA) and CISCO Wireless-Mobility

Hi,
I am a CCNA certified Electronics and Communications Engineering Graduate from India.
Nowdays the market here is up in mobile networking driven by companies like Nokia-Siemens Networks, Ericsson, etc.
Wireless Mobile Networks are all geared up for 3G UMTS(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) architecture.(in GSM).
* My question is how are the above mentioned networks different from the Cisco Wireless Mobility concepts?
* What is common in them?
I know that these mobile networks are converting to packet-switched systems from legacy circuit ones.
* Does cisco come in only as a backbone Routing and Switching hardware providerfor this area,
  Or does it offer a complete Unified End-to-End Solution in this domain?
is the difference just size??

Neal,
I do not think that in a forum like this we will be able to provide you a full answer. I recommend that you contact your Cisco account team as they will be able to work through all of the details to your design and fill the requirements of your customer.
A few things for you to look into and ask your account team.
The CDMA2000 1x RTT gateway is the PDSN this gateway is very similar to the GPRS gateway
The MWR 1900 is designed for an IPRAN network design and may or may not fall into what you have describe but your account team can help you with that
The Cisco MAR3200 is a mobile router that is designed to route between various radio access methods such as CDMA or GSM or WLAN etc. It will also do mobile IP.
Cisco has an extensive solution range for both the access gateways and back end services such as service selection authentication accounting and billing.
What you are asking for can be done using Cisco products but, it is a complex network design so please contact your account team for full details.
I am sorry I could not answer your question 100% but hope I have given you enough leads to get the design sorted
David

    hi i have an iphone 4 that needs to be updated but my phone is using the cellular company simple mobile via gsm chip and my phone isnt jailbroken will this mess up my phone.

    If your iPhone is truly unlocked - purchased as unlocked through Apple
    or through wireless provider that sells unlocked iPhones or unlocked
    by a wireless provider, then the update should not mess up your iPhone.
    If your iPhone was jailbroken or hacked to change wireless providers,
    then the update will relock it to the original wireless provider if you are lucky
    or turn it into a useless brick if unlucky.
    Back up first to protect against glitches or other problems.

  • GSM & CDMA and the unlocked 4s - Technical or Business based limitation?

    So there are many threads about the GSM & CDMA with CDMA only being available on a locked phone and that GSM roaming is at the indulgence on the carrier. I am in Canada so the carrier choices would be different.
    My question is whether this is a technical limitation or based (presumably at the request of Verizon in the US) on official CDMA carriers not wanting the 4S to be used on different networks? Will an unlocked 4S never be able to have CDMA enabled or is there no legitimate way to do it? (I am not looking for "sure someone will be able to jailbreak it and turn it on" - though I guess this would answer the technical question, more along the lines of if 6 months down the CDMA is no longer officially locked but you bought your unlocked phone too soon, too bad or you.)
    As for why I am asking: I need to wade through Canadian carriers and their plans and figure out which way to go if I get a 4S.

    Existing GSM iPhones will not work on CDMA networks because they don't have the right type of cellular radio. It doesn't matter if they're locked or unlocked. It would be like trying to get an FM signal on an AM only radio. It's just not possible.
    The iPhone 4S has both CDMA and GSM capabilities. CDMA phones are not locked in the same way that GSM phones are. But, technical details aside, Sprint phones will not work on Verizon's network and vice versa. It's not clear, to me at least, how this will all play out with the 4S.
    AT&T has only ever sold locked iPhones which they won't unlock. I haven't heard that they plan on doing any differently. The unlocked GSM iPhones that you can buy at the Apple Store can use any GSM SIM.
    So if I'm a Verizon iPhone 4S user, would I be able to use the 4S if I went to Ukraine and bought a SIM card from an MTS store for their network?

  • Mobile Network Home Folders and Leopard

    How does one connect to a Snow Leopard server using mobile home folders using Leopard client?  I am not finding the join preference in the account system preference.
    Thanks for your help.

    In the Utilities folder, Open Directory Utility and join there, make sure your network interface's DNS server is pointed to the Open Directory server.

  • Since upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5 it won't keep registered for my mobile network ...and provider doesn't know if its the sim or the handset...anyone else had this problem?

    performed the update yesterday and now my iphone won't stay on orange either says searching or no network and at the min orange won't help me

    My wife and I are BOTH having the exact same issues!  Some of the text messages that come through are just showing the 1. area code, and 2. the last 4 digits of the phone number.
    I thought it was weird when she showed it to me on her phone.  Now mine has started doing it too. 

  • Updated to iOS 7.1.2 and my data network drops in and out every 30 seconds

    Anyone else having this problem? I've tried restarting my phone but it didn't resolve the issue.

    Thanks, but this did not work either.
    The problem seems to have resolved itself overnight though..

  • S860 and X2, Google not connecting on mobile network.

    I live in Sweden. Had my S860 for 3 years and it has been working fine but some months ago it was not connecting on mobile network with crome and play store. Restart and it could work for some time the it was gone again. At the same time Hotspot, skype and OS update is working fine. Got a new sim card i november but it did not help. This was going more and more bad and finally it did not work at all. Tried to reverse OS a few steps back and still not working. So i tought that it was something to do with hardware. Now i bought a Vibe X2. Away from sweden for the moment (Saudi Arabia) but this one does the same when I try to connect. OS update working but Crome says ssl error and Play Store just wont connect. Saw some forums said it might be time and date that was wrong so i tried to change to local format but it was the same. My S860 i was waiting for 6 month before i could buy it (not for sale in Sweden) in Saudi. Haas been very pleased with it so now when it has been messing with me i had no problem to buy a new Lenovo phone. This time just waiting 3 month before i could buy it in Saudi. Hope this is something I can get some help to solve. /Nils

    Hi Ragge
    Can you tell me your firmware build number(for the S820 and Vibe x2) and Baseband version(for the S820)?Settings->About phone....
    ''Had my S860 for 3 years and it has been working fine.....Sorry, checked and it is a S820 i have.''
    The S820 has been relesed in May 2013.
    ''Tried to reverse OS a few steps back...''
    How did you do that?.
    Can you install THIS ->Open the app->MTK Settings->Telephony/BandMode->SIM 1(Do the same for SIM2) and make a screenshot(Power&Volume-) ->post the screenshot here.Thanks

  • HT4199 What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and the bars come up but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    What does it mean when I click on my wifi name and it show I'm on my wifi, but the network keeps thinking and the ipad says, Safari cannot open this page because it is not connected to the internet. ?

    When you click on the WiFi network name, have you also provided the password for accessing the network?  You should get a dialogue box asking you for the security information the first time you connect.
    If you are not able to connect, you might want to go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings.
    Then go back to Settings > WiFi and select your network name again and make sure the security information is now entered correctly.
    If you still cannot connect, power down the router, wait a few minutes, power up the router, with the iPad powered down the whole time, and after the router has had several minutes to stabilize power up the iPad.  See if it now connects correctly.

  • Mail- Images color and contrast?

    Why is it that Apple forgot color management in the Mail program. I am a photographer and I have my images approved by the client via email. Shoot to CaptureOne Pro then Process raw to tiff open in Photoshop and the color and contrast match convert to Jpeg and attach to email and it looks muddy in the email. Clients respond to me image looks flat what is wrong with it. All my clients use Adobe 1998 color space. I have to tell them to open it in photoshop and they always say "Oh thats better"
    Am I missing the option to use Adobe 1998 instead of sRGB in the mail program? Some of my clients use the Jpegs for placement in their layouts so I need to keep the Adobe 1998 color space and not convert it to sRGB just so it will look right in one of a series of programs.

    Why is it that Apple forgot color management in the Mail program.
    I assume because images are sent as attachments which appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default with the Mail.app which is not the same with all email clients.
    If you send such attachments to a recipient using Windows Outlook or Outlook Express, the attachments will appear as attached files only which must be opened separately in order to view.
    I don't believe the majority of people that use the Mail.app need it to be used in such a fashion and I don't believe any email client has anywhere near Photoshop's color management capabilities since this is not what an email client is primarily designed for.

  • Connecting my z10 to my local mobile network

    I bought a Z10 and tested it with my sim card from Vodafone UK and T-Mobile UK, and it worked. However, when I insert a Mauritius emtel sim card, the mobile network switches off and when trying to activate, it remains on the 'activating mobile ' status. Is it because the emtel network is not yet a registered Z10 supported network?

    Hello jpyoung,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    You will not be able to connect to these services with a BlackBerry Z10 smartphone on this network, as it is not yet supported by this mobile service provider.

  • Z10, no bbm over mobile network

    My Z10 (10.3.1) does not connect to BB services when not on wifi.  Ie there is not bb icon on the top right of the screen when on mobile network. What's curious to me at least, is that on the mobile network, bbm video and voice calls work, just not the messages. Once on wifi, the bb logo appears and all is well. I contacted my provider (Telus) and they suggested that is was a sim problem or a phone problem. I had the sim replaced and it did not solve the problem. This occured today July 26 and its been about 9 hours like this. How can I get bbm to work again please?  ( I am currently upgradeing to OS 10.3.2.2 Thanks

    Did you finish running the setup wizard on boot up? Are you on O2 PAYG or monthly? I am on o2 monthly and didnt have any issue. On the wizard selected mobile network as well and in a moment a pop up would show up asking which network/monthly/payg options.

  • HT201274 Can a Sprint Iphone 5 work with T-mobile network? How can one unlock with the MSL code? Sprint is not abiding by the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.  FCC will only enforce if we file more complains.

    Can a Sprint Iphone 5 work with T-mobile network? How can one unlock with the MSL code? Sprint is not abiding by the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.  FCC will only enforce if we file more complains.

    T-Mobile is a GSM network whereas Sprint is a CDMA network. They are incompatible. Sprint is not obliged to unlock a phone that is still under contract. Their phones may not be capable of being unlocked.

  • Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and  both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey

    Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and  both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..

    A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.
