Flexi Zone solution from Nokia Siemens Networks awarded for innovation

Organization of Small Cell Forum commended the innovative design and technological solution of the concept of small cells, created by an expert in the field of mobile broadband

The company Nokia Siemens Networks has received the highest award of Small Cell Industry Awards 2012 in the category "Design of network elements for small cells, and technological innovation." Organization of Small Cell Forum noted the complex created by Flexi Zone * for the use of innovative concepts Hot Zone. This concept allows for cost-effective deployment of small cells in order to increase network capacity for mobile broadband in overload conditions.

"Undoubtedly, created Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Zone solution differs courage. It goes beyond the traditional deployment of small cells, allowing for the creation of adaptive cluster of access points. Most importantly, the system has been developed to solve the practical problems faced by network operators HetNet **, such as the suppression of harmful interference, engineering handover and transit links, "- said Peter Jaric (Peter Jarich), director of the service department research firm Current Analysis.

Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi Zone announced the decision on the Mobile World Congress 2012. Decision Flexi Zone was established on the basis of architecture developed by Liquid Radio and consists of several hundred small interconnected low power, using a common pool of resources that flexibly manages gatekeeper. Like clusters of access points that support multiple radio standards are in addition to makrosotovoy network that provides the best coverage and maximum capacity where it is needed at the moment. Flexi Zone solution enables local unloading Internet traffic by 80% by reducing the cost of transport and packet core network. Through the management interface, simplifying the organization of transit channels and significantly reduce operating costs can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by 50% compared with the addition of new sites or deploying traditional systems based on the hundreds of small pico-and microcells.

"This award reinforces the commitment Nokia Siemens Networks provides operators with cost-effective solutions for the organization of small cells, allowing to increase the network capacity and expand coverage in areas with a high concentration of users - said Randy Cox (Randy Cox), head of products for small cells in Nokia Siemens Networks . - With Flexi Zone subscribers in congested "hot zones" will enjoy a much better quality of mobile broadband services. "

Award Small Cell Forum Industry Awards established in 2009. It is awarded for outstanding achievements in the field of small cells and their contributions to the development of this technology.

On the organization of Small Cell Forum

Organization of Small Cell Forum, formerly known as Femto Forum, encouraging the widespread introduction of systems of small cells www.smallcellforum.org.

Small cell is a wireless access point, a low power operating in unlicensed frequency spectrum and have intellectual disabilities, their operation controlled by the operator network. Such systems provide improved coverage and increase network capacity and are designed for both home and corporate environments, as well as for work in public places in both urban and rural areas. They use a variety of technologies, ie notions femtocells, pikosoty, microcell and metrosoty. Small Cell Forum members are more than 140 companies, including 67 operators representing more than 2.9 billion users of mobile networks (47% of all subscribers in the world), as well as suppliers of telecommunications equipment and software, content providers, and young innovative enterprises.
