Ericsson has signed license agreements for LTE essential patents. The company said it is a strong advocate for reasonable aggregated royalties and will take a lead role in licensing its technology to promote a healthy market. This builds on Ericsson’s present global licensing program for GSM/WCDMA, now composed of more than 80 agreements and generating significant revenue.
Ericsson claims to hold the industry’s strongest LTE patent portfolio with a substantial number of standard essential patents that are key to developing 4G/LTE products. http://www.ericsson.com

You just read about Ericsson. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Redback Networks built Broadband edge routers and subscriber management. What became of it?
Redback Networks brought Broadband edge routers and subscriber management to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Ericsson for US$2.1B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Ericsson today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about LTE. Here is what it replaced:
WiMAX (802.16) served 2001–2015. What ultimately replaced it?
WiMAX (802.16) oFDMA-based fixed/mobile broadband: base stations scheduled uplink/downlink slots to subscriber stations across wide channels with carrier-grade QoS - on the losing side of the LTE ecosystem. Its job passed to LTE — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
