Espoo, Finland- Nokia today
announced that TST (Taiwan Star Telecom) has chosen the Nokia
end-to-end (E2E) solution to expand the coverage and capacity of
its LTE network to support subscriber growth. The new solution will
also enable TST to offer narrowband Internet of Things (IoT)
services, as well as prepare TST to migrate to 5G services in the
future. The expansion will enhance network quality and improve the
user experience.
With their open and transparent mobile rates and
highest price-to-performance scores, TST continuously invests in
the performance of their mobile network in order to enhance the
customer experience and support the fast growth of their subscriber
base. With this upgrade, using the Nokia end-to-end 5G-ready
portfolio, they will expand their coverage in the 900MHz/2600Mhz
band nationwide.
The Nokia 5G-ready solutions selected by TST
include:
-
The AirScale eNodeB solution, which introduces
the Nokia AirScale Remote Radio Head (RRH). This will help TST to
cost-effectively create the capacity they need with more flexible
cell sizes. The diverse deployment options include macro,
mini-macro and small cells for dense urban spots, grey/white spots,
indoor and stadium coverage.
-
The 7750 Mobile Gateway (MG) and Cloud Mobility
Manager (CMM) for expansion of the packet core.
-
The 7750 Service Router for IP backbone
expansion, due to its reliability, high capacity, and 5G
compatibility.
-
The Smart Plan Suite (SPS), which provides a
full policy and charging solution and paves the way for 5G
monetization.
