3GPP ACCEPTS NOKIA PROPOSAL TO TO ADOPT IPV6 PROTOCOL.Nokia, Helsinki, Finland, a leader in the provision Mobile Internet and 3G networks, has made a significant step forward in opening up the benefits of future 3G services, in its work with IPv6 technology. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP GPP Government Performance Project GPP General Purpose Processor GPP General Physical Preparedness GPP Gambian People's Party GPP Good Pharmacy Practice GPP Gross Primary Productivity GPP Green Procurement Program GPP Generic Packetized Protocol ), the standardisation forum for 3G mobile systems, have accepted a proposal put forward by Nokia, to adopt IPv6 as the protocol for future IP multimedia services. This breakthrough agreement, accepted fully in the 3GPP S2 plenary session, will mean all Mobile Multimedia IP-based networks will support IPv6. Nokia is committed to implementing the IPv6 standard in its networks, and also has announced the world's first IPv6-based Mobile Packet Core Network. The Nokia 3G Mobile Packet Core elements SGSN SGSN Serving GPRS Support Node (Serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) The first high-speed digital data service provided by cellular carriers that used the GSM technology. GPRS added a packet-switched channel to GSM, which uses dedicated, circuit-switched channels for voice conversations. Support Node) and GGSN GGSN Gateway GPRS Serving/Support Node GGSN Gateway General Support Node (packet radio service) GGSN Gateway Gprs Support Node GGSN General Gprs Serving Node (Gateway GPRS Support Node) will be IPv6 capable from day one of commercial 3G operations, therefore providing an optimal basis for the evolution towards All-IP Core networks. IPv6 is a fundamental building block of future IP mobility networks, dramatically reducing the complexity of the existing Internet, currently based on an IPv4. However, in supporting operator customers' evolutionary plans, Nokia's 3G mobile systems will continue to support needed IPv4-based services. IPv6 provides vast Internet address space, making it possible to allocate an Internet address to practically every electronic device on earth, offering a clear advantage over the present IPv4 protocol. Furthermore, IPv6 technology brings the necessary security and quality of service, which the existing Internet is lacking today. Nokia sees the provision of increased address space offered by IPv6 as vital to building the Mobile Information Society, since every mobile device requires its own IP address to enable operators, service providers and end-users to reap the full benefits of new services and applications in the Mobile Information Society. Nokia is paving the way to the mobile information society with its innovative products and solutions. The company is the leading mobile phone supplier and a leading supplier of mobile, broadband and IP networks, related services as well as multimedia terminals.
