Nokia Siemens Networks provides Long Term Evolution (LTE) for 700 MHz and
1.7/2.1 GHz spectrum bands in North America.
LAS VEGAS, March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- CTIA Wireless 2008 -- Nokia Siemens
Networks' LTE solution for radio and core networks will enable operators to
deploy WCDMA/HSPA and LTE in all major frequency bands, including the 700
MHz and 1.7/2.1 GHz bands that are of particular importance in North
America. The solution is comprised of the new Flexi Multimode Base Station,
Mobility Management Entity (MME) and System Architecture Evolution (SAE)
Gateway. The Flexi Multimode Base Station is the newest member of the
small, modular and energy-efficient Flexi Base Station family, making full
use of the software defined radio concept, which simplifies the path to
LTE.

As demand for mobile data increases exponentially, the rationale for
evolution toward flat, all-IP network architectures will become more
evident if operators are to sustain profitability. Nokia Siemens Networks
is the innovation leader in flat mobile network architecture, and is the
only supplier currently providing the standardized pre-LTE solution,
Internet-HSPA, which is commercially available now. I-HSPA can be an
initial step in implementing a flat, cost effective all-IP network that is
compatible with all legacy HSPA devices and provides an evolution to LTE
with just a software upgrade.
"License winners from auctions in the U.S. and Canada will be eager to
deploy new networks and services as quickly as possible," said Sue
Spradley, President, Nokia Siemens Networks, North America. "We are
confident that Nokia Siemens Networks' LTE solution will enable service
providers to deliver high-speed wireless services in the near term, while
providing investment protection in the form of a cost efficient software
upgrade to LTE in the future."
Nokia Siemens Networks' LTE solution is appropriate for new entrants,
incumbents with existing GSM/WCDMA/HSPA and CDMA network operators,
allowing them to provide Internet services via mobile broadband at speeds
comparable to DSL. LTE is slated to be a true global roaming technology as
an evolution option for operators with a WCDMA/HSPA network or a CDMA
network.
The end-to-end LTE/SAE solution is comprised of best in class network
elements and a comprehensive set of services optimized for the 700 MHz and
1.7/2.1 GHz bands. The services enable an operator to efficiently build,
operate and transfer networks and to provide business and technical
consulting on market entry, service innovation, service benchmarking, and
spectrum clearing.
The LTE solution was launched globally in February at Mobile World
Congress. Nokia Siemens Networks will demonstrate LTE at CTIA Wireless
2008. Stop by Booth 3026 for more details.
Nokia Siemens Networks delivers radio access solutions to over 300
customers in 120 countries. With the mission of optimizing the operator
total value of ownership in mobile broadband, Nokia Siemens Networks is a
forerunner and a solution provider for all flat, data optimized and
scalable radio architectures such as Internet-HSPA, WiMAX and LTE.
