    • Hulbert Communications

      Jan 2016 - now
      Owner and Engineer

      Hulbert Communications provides expertise in 3GPP mobile communications systems. We have a strong background of 3GPP expertise, mainly in the core network but also in how resources requested by the core network are handled and maintained in the Access Network. Here we are looking at areas such as: - mobility and maintainability - Seamless handovers - also inter PLMN - QoS - the core network requests a QoS profile - how does the eNodeB fulfil that request and maintain it when a congestion situation is approaching, in the best way possible? - VoLTE - also while roaming, and inter PLMN handovers - How can the strengths of 3GPP networks be used by new user groups? Here we have been working in Public Safety for four years now. We have just concluded a contract with SES SA, Luxembourg, for the standardisation of the integration of Satellite Systems into 5G.
