Corporate Security As A Service

: Allowing operators to offer fixed and mobile SecAAS to their corporate users to meet industry regulation, and retain key corporate accounts.

Machine to Machine Security

: Providing operators with network-centric security to protect embedded device networks and applications from unauthorised access, command and control messages and security attacks.

“With operators’ networks now the gateway to voice, text and data communications, it is critical they do everything within their power to keep their customers safe from the increasing number of sophisticated mobile security risks,” says Gareth Maclachlan, Chief Operating Officer, AdaptiveMobile. “It has become clear that a ‘piecemeal’ or client-centric approach to protecting networks and subscribers is simply no longer sufficient and with many operators now handling machine to machine data traffic in addition to the consumer and corporate data services, only our holistic, multi-bearer approach to security can provide complete peace of mind.”

Nokia Siemens Networks launches industry’s first TD-LTE ‘6 pipes’ remote radio head | Nokia Siemens Networks

Nokia Siemens Networks launches industry’s first TD-LTE ‘6 pipes’ remote radio head | Nokia Siemens Networks:

Nokia Siemens Networks has introduced a Liquid Radio-based ‘6 pipes’ remote radio head* that uses the company’s unique pipe approach to offer unprecedented flexibility in delivering TD-LTE.

“Our new, high-capacity 6 pipes remote radio head is a great addition to our TD-LTE RAN (Radio Access Network) portfolio and promises to take the TD-LTE experience to the next level,” said Tommi Uitto, head of the LTE radio access business line at Nokia Siemens Networks. “In addition to enabling a more flexible approach to TD-LTE, the new product delivers much higher throughput and lower latency than other offerings, to enable higher data speeds. Subscribers can thus enjoy the same level of mobile broadband, anywhere and everywhere, no matter what applications they’re using.”

By covering three sectors with a single radio head**, operators can reduce site costs by up to one-third. It is the first remote radio head that can support a 6-sector TD-LTE site to deliver 80% more capacity and 40% more coverage as compared to traditional 3-sector sites. This enables higher data speeds, and reduces total cost of ownership by 40%.

Nokia Siemens Networks’ pipe concept offers a cost-effective, future-proof alternative to the current ‘path’-based approaches, allowing more flexible allocation of sectors, carriers and transmit and receive channels by a base station. It can do multiple configurations, starting with a simple, low-cost, 3-sector site configuration and scaling to a high-capacity, 6-sector site configuration, when needed. Further, a simple software upgrade offers a smooth evolution path to LTE-Advanced.

Nokia Siemens Networks’ 6 pipes remote radio head is based on the company’s Liquid Radio*** architecture, which self-adapts coverage and capacity based on subscriber demand. The offering’s unique 6 pipes beamforming feature mitigates signal loss due to interference****. This helps deliver up to 50% higher data speeds and improved coverage, compared to 4 path radio heads, for subscribers in high-density areas, both indoors and outdoors. This feature also eliminates the need for additional sites, and reduces CAPEX, OPEX and site costs.

The offering is 3GPP standardized and is now commercially available globally.

1X Advanced feature for CDMA2000 offers superior voice quality, expands data services

A new feature from Nokia Siemens Networks allows CDMA operators to offer significantly improved voice quality and coverage, and expand their mobile broadband services, while protecting their network investments. Nokia Siemens Networks is expanding its CDMA2000 portfolio with the launch of 1X Advanced technology, which can triple existing base station capacity when fully implemented. Operators can use this additional capacity to handle much greater volumes of voice or data traffic in dense metros or to improve coverage.

Nokia Siemens Networks’ 1X Advanced feature can expand base station capacity in a more energy efficient and cost effective manner. The company’s 1X Advanced capable equipment is more power efficient for a given amount of traffic than existing 1X solutions. Implementation is economical, with a simple board upgrade to the existing base-station. Operators will be able to realize even greater performance with future software upgrades.

“We see 1X Advanced as the next step in the evolution of CDMA2000, and are fully committed to investing and building our capabilities in this technology,” says Scott Mottonen, head of the CDMA/LTE business line at Nokia Siemens Networks. “As subscriber demand can be quite extreme and variable over time, CDMA operators must be able to improve network performance while keeping costs low. 1X Advanced satisfies this need by offering a cost-effective upgrade of existing network assets, while vastly enhancing quality of experience.”

Nokia Siemens Networks’ 1X Advanced capable equipment will be commercially available by the end of 2011.

Renewable energy powers Vip mobile in central Serbia | Nokia Siemens Networks

Renewable energy powers Vip mobile in central Serbia | Nokia Siemens Networks:

Vip mobile, the youngest of Serbia’s three mobile operators, is running a base station powered by solar and wind energy as part of a trial into renewal energy. The site provides coverage to several kilometers along the Belgrade-Nis highway that has no electricity grid connectivity. The operator is using Nokia Siemens Networks’ Energy Solutions, which can reduce the use of diesel generators at sites by as much as 90%.

“We are committed to extending network connectivity to under-served areas of the country, while ensuring the environmental impact of our overall operations remains limited. Renewable energy addresses these requirements by minimizing our reliance on diesel generators to power telecom infrastructure in areas with limited or no grid connectivity,” said Rene Schiefer, head of Access Network at Vip mobile. “Nokia Siemens Networks brings strong understanding of telecom network power requirements and management to provide a solution that helps us lower carbon dioxide emissions.”

The Off-Grid Site Solution provided by Nokia Siemens Networks uses solar panels, wind turbines, deep cycling batteries, alongside diesel generators for backup, and a “Green Energy Controller” that manages these components. The solution typically reduces the diesel generator runtime from 24 hours to an average of less than 3 hours per day.

As part of the six-month trial, Nokia Siemens Networks has enabled remote energy management of the site through its NetAct network management platform. This enables Vip mobile to monitor all green energy components anytime and eliminates the need for physical visits to install and maintain new software. The solution increases site reliability by ensuring round-the-clock power availability, providing return on investment in less than three years.

“Nokia Siemens Networks is committed to helping telecom operators reduce the cost of running their networks and strengthen their credentials as environmentally responsible organizations. With more than 80 percent of an operator’s total energy consumption taking place in the network, there is a large scope for them to minimize both their energy costs and carbon footprint by tapping renewable energy. Our Energy Solutions optimize this potential and provide a cost-effective transition to more energy-efficient networks,” said Josef Fuhl, head of the customer business team for Austria at Nokia Siemens Networks.
