All-in-one mobile site solution boosts 2G, 3G and LTE network coverage and capacity

Nokia Siemens Networks High-Performance Site Solution lowers OPEX for operators.

Nokia Siemens Networks has today launched its High-Performance Site Solution aimed at allowing operators to cost- effectively and rapidly modernize and expand their mobile networks. The solution brings significant savings by increasing base station capacity by 80 percent and coverage area by up to 40 percent.

�The compact Nokia Siemens Networks High-Performance Site Solution brings much-needed extra capacity in the booming mobile broadband market without the need for additional antennas or physical space,� said Tommi Uitto, head of Wireless Access product management, Nokia Siemens Networks. �The small all-in-one solution can be easily installed in any location at lower implementation costs and enables operators to cost-effectively expand in markets where traditional sites are not feasible.�

At the core of the Nokia Siemens Networks High-Performance Site Solution is the capability to cost-efficiently enable a 6-sector site instead of the traditional 3-sector site used in most network rollouts today, which boosts capacity to handle data and voice calls by up to 80% per base station. Previously, increases in the amount of required equipment, cabling and antennas meant this was not feasible with traditional site models and base stations.

The solution consists of a combination of the market-leading, compact Flexi Multiradio Base Station, the latest dual beam antennas, and a �feederless� site model with the base station located next to the antennas. This enables a lean site and minimizes site and equipment costs. Furthermore, the 40% increase in coverage per base station means that fewer sites are needed to introduce mobile broadband to new areas.

The High-Performance Site Solution is LTE-ready and requires a simple software upgrade when deployed in HSPA networks. Its flexibility, however, ensures that it is also ideal for the modernization of GSM/EDGE networks.

Nokia Siemens Networks High-Performance Site Solution is part of and complements the company�s site solutions portfolio. High-Performance Site Solution is already available for WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ and Internet-HSPA.
