Indosat Subscribers Can Now Enjoy Faster Mobile Broadband
Operator selects Nokia Siemens Networks to enhance its 3G network, and reduce carbon footprint
Subscribers of PT Indosat Tbk, the second largest cellular operator in Indonesia, can now experience faster downloading and browsing on their smartphones. Nokia Siemens Networks enhances Indosat’s networks to deliver faster, congestion-free services for speeds of up to 42 Mbps. The vendor also enables Indosat to reduce its network energy consumption by 50%.
“We are proud to launch the fastest Internet access service, providing DC-HSPA+ speeds of up to 42 Mbps per user. This makes us the first Asian operator and the second in the world to do so,” said Harry Sasongko, president director & CEO, Indosat. “Besides fast downloads for users, Indosat also creating a ‘green telco’ through network modernisation that reduces power consumption, increases efficiency, and contributes to an eco-friendly environment.”
As part of the enhancement, Nokia Siemens Networks has provided its latest 3G network software to support up to 42 Mbps download speed. The vendor has deployed its SGSN to ensure effective traffic offload. In addition to this, the vendor has implemented Flexi Multiradio Base Station to facilitate a quicker migration to LTE, while keeping its carbon footprint greener and extremely cost-effective. While the network in Surabaya has already gone live at the end of May, the network in Medan will go live at the end of this month.
“The increased adoption of smartphones has led to an exponential surge in data traffic worldwide, and Indonesia is no exception to this fact. Indosat’s decision to offer faster browsing speeds will help the operator maintain its market leadership,” said Richard Kitts, president director of PT Nokia Siemens Networks Indonesia. “Our solution to strengthen Indosat’s network enables its subscribers to enjoy a faster mobile broadband experience.”
The Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi BTS is not only globally recognized for its energy efficiency, but also for operating at much higher temperatures than other similar products available in the market. In addition to this, Nokia Siemens Networks energy solutions offer a fast, cost-effective and efficient way for CSPs to transform the way energy is used to run the network, regardless of whether it is a new power supply system, a customer upgrade, or a total renewal of existing telecom equipment power supply. /Nokia Siemens Network
Huawei Leads Industry With its SingleRAN Solution
Record shipments of over 1.5 million transceivers within 24 months of its launch
CommunicAsia 2009 - Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ("Huawei"), a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that it has shipped over 1.5 million transceivers (TRXs) for its fourth-generation base stations (BTS) - more than any other company in the world. This significant milestone was reached nearly a year earlier than expected, demonstrating the enormous demand for innovative next-generation wireless network solutions.
Huawei’s unique SingleRAN solution enables operators to achieve full convergence of multi-mode wireless networks, including base stations, base station controllers, sites and operation and maintenance management. As a core component of its SingleRAN solution, the fourth-generation BTS supports multi-mode radio access networking (GSM, TD-SCDMA, UMTS, LTE, CDMA and WiMAX), and incorporates green optimization and All-IP technologies, providing a truly convergent solution for network operators.
"Network convergence - including the smooth evolution to future technologies and the total cost of ownership savings it brings - has become a very real requirement for mobile operators," said Mr Peter Jarich, Research Director with Current Analysis. "Today, many operators can claim multi-standard base station solution, embracing 2G through 4G, and 3GPP as well as 3GPP2 technologies. Huawei has led the most recent charge, with enviable momentum being the result."
With the rapid development of various wireless standards, the need to support multi-mode technology is expected for a long period of time. Thus, cost of investment, operation and maintenance will invariably increase as operators would have to operate two or more networks simultaneously.
Mr Wan Biao, President of Huawei Wireless Product Line expects demand for Huawei’s SingleRAN solutions to further garner momentum in 2009 as more operators begin to capitalize on its superior value proposition. He said: "Huawei is committed to creating maximum value for our customers and the record breaking shipment of over 1.5 million transceivers is a testament to our focus on customer-centric innovation. We are excited to be now working with so many leading operators worldwide and we will continue to respond quickly to their requirements with solutions that integrate innovation, quality and value."
Huawei’s fourth-generation BTS are being used by more than 20 leading operators in 100 countries. In March 2008, Telefonica/O2 chose Huawei to expand and upgrade its mobile network in Germany and Huawei has assisted in the replacement of existing base stations and the planned deployment of more than 8,000 fourth-generation BTS. In August 2008, T-Mobile used approximately 4,500 Huawei fourth-generation BTS to modernize their existing 2G network in the Czech Republic. Insa/PR
