Nokia Siemens Networks High-Performance Site Solution Up with mobile broadband coverage and capacity

Smart devices are a boon and a bane for communication service providers (CSPs). They offer rich opportunities and account for much of the industrys growth but they pose great challenges for CSPs hard-pressed to meet skyrocketing demand. On top of the ever increasing laptop user traffic, smart devices generate unprecedented levels of data coupled with hugely increased mobility, forcing CSPs to cope with surging traffic and spiking subscriber demand by deploying added resources, such as carriers and new base stations.

The bandwidth/ cost crunch

The conventional approach to tackling the bandwidth challenge is to Find new sites Efficiently increase spectrum Improve indoor coverage Add new resources to legacy sites

intelligent solution to handle data traffic growth. Called the High-Performance Site Solution or HPSS for short, it is engineered to improve GSM, WCDMA, and LTE network performance, treating subscribers to true broadband and a high-end mobile experience.

But these options are not always available, financially feasible, or even practical. Conventional approaches failed to extend both capacity and coverage at the same time, so past attempts to improve performance involved a trade-off between the two.

Have it all: GSM, WCDMA & LTE

Based on the Flexi Multiradio BTS, an award-winning base station featuring GSM, WCDMA and LTE capabilities rolled into the same hardware, HPSS pushes far beyond the boundaries of conventional networks capabilities by expanding the traditional three-sector setup to six sectors. This six-sector site configuration constitutes a major advance in performance and efficiency. And all this power comes in an ultra compact package augmented with modern dual-sector and multiband antenna technology.

Mobile broadband everywhere

It takes a smarter network to satisfy fast-growing user and traffic demands and deliver mobile broadband everywhere, to keep everyone connected all the time. Nokia Siemens Networks has developed such an innovative and

Twice as much for GSM and EDGE

Paired with our spectral efficiency enhancing features and dual-sector antennas, HPSS Provides twofold the capacity for GSM and EDGE Doubles the capacity of traffic channels Increases signaling capacity, which is such a crucial resource for serving the demands of smart devices Taking mobile broadband coverage and capacity up a notch or two, HPSS clearly outperforms the conventional base station.

Technical data Radio technologies Installations options GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, I-HSPA, LTE Modular base station for indoor and outdoor installation; floor, wall, pole, mast mountable; supports distributed and feeder-less site setups High-Performance site solution is geared to support multiple bands, for example: 850, 900, 1800, 1900, 1700/2100, 2100, and 2600 MHz. Availability depends on market and operator requirements.

Extending WCDMA/LTE capacity and coverage with utmost efficiency

Whats more, HPSS can boost base station capacity for WCDMA and LTE by as much as 80 percent. This high capacity gain has already been proven in live networks for WCDMA which has also revealed a 40 percent greater coverage per base station, thanks to higher-gain antennas, taking network performance and user experience to a new level. This extraordinary improvement comes courtesy of a streamlined design with twice as many resources and higher order sectorization, bringing the total number of sectors to six, each with dedicated power amplifiers.

Smart and streamlined

HPSS leaves a very small footprint indeed, with the most compact variation comprising just three lightweight Flexi Multiradio modules one system module connected via fiber to two radio modules. Despite taking up such little space and weighing less than 75 kg, this ultra compact setup produces an impressive 360 watts of output power.

Stepping up to a smarter network

Alongside cost-efficiency, convenience, and performance power, one of the greatest advantages of HPSS is that the entire package is rugged and robust enough to be sited outdoors close to antennas. This field-proven outdoor design maximizes CSPs benefits: For one, the proximity to antennas further improves performance. For the other, because HPSS is so easily deployed outdoors, CSPs can capitalize on further cost-saving opportunities by removing cabinets and indoor sites.

What can this solution do for CSPs? HPSS Provides cost-effective means of delivering the mobile broadband coverage and capacity required to satisfy growing demand for bandwidth Vastly improves GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, and LTE network performance Boosts signaling capacity to better serve smart devices Enables high-end mobile broadband services Provides better coverage with fewer sites

Multiple technologies and frequencies

Several prominent antenna makers already offer dual-sector antennas. One antenna element supports two sectors, so solution featuring this breed of state-of-the-art antenna can accommodate several additional frequency bands. Our HPSS combines compact Flexi Multiradio Base Station hardware and three antennas to make the most of these capabilities and operate multiple technologies and frequencies simultaneously.

Why HPSS?
In a nutshell, the Nokia Siemens Networks High-Performance Site Solution enable CSPs to build smarter, streamlined and more cost-efficient networks to master the capacity and coverage challenge, and bring services to market faster, at lower expense, and with far greater quality.
