IPv6 in MOBILE NETWORKS
In October 2000, Ericsson was the first vendor to
demonstrate the use of IPv6 in a GPRS network in
a cooperation with BT Wireless and SmarTone of
Hong Kong.

Ericsson, BT Wireless, and SmarTone in Hong Kong staged the world's first successful end-to-end
demonstration of IPv6 - the next-generation Internet Protocol - in a mobile network. The SmarTone trial
was built on Ericsson's network-enabling IPv6 systems and know-how, in conjunction with BT Wireless'
research and development activities. Ericsson has a long-term cooperative relationship with SmarTone in
the Hong Kong operator's infrastructure development.

We trialed IPv6 on SmarTone's mobile network,
including GPRS and wireless LANs. We also
tested other scenarios, such as roaming between
fixed and wireless networks, and IPv4/IPv6
interworking - all successfully.
IPv6, with its 128-bit address base, will provide
address space enough to accommodate an IP
address for every imaginable Internet-ready
device to come. IPv6 enables network architects
to address many important IP-related issues in
addition to the IP address shortage, such as
security, quality of service, mobility,
multicasting, and network management.

Ulf Ewaldsson, Deputy Managing Director of
Ericsson in Hong Kong, says, "IPv6 will enable a
new level of end-to-end IP-based services and
applications. It is an important part of the Ericsson
vision, with billions of devices that are constantly
on-line, providing the user with an uninterrupted,
personalized and location-independent
experience."
SmarTone's Chief Technical Officer, Stephen
Chau, says, "It is crucial that we begin trialing
IPv6 on our network as soon as possible, so that
we can gain solid knowledge and insight into the
potential it brings to the development of mobile
Internet applications and services."
