Company also introduces new Network Cloning service to simplify network modernization
Nokia Siemens Networks is showcasing its groundbreaking Liquid Net architecture at Broadband World Forum 2011 in Paris this week. The company is also making its 100G DWDM platform*, which forms part of Liquid Net, commercially available from today. Liquid Net is a comprehensive approach to telecoms networks that allows unused capacity in one part of a network to be allocated instantly wherever and whenever it is needed. Nokia Siemens Networks is also introducing its Network Cloning service for faster network upgrades at the event.
The various components of Liquid Net provide flexibility across networks to adapt to changing customer needs instantly using existing resources more efficiently. This optimizes capital investment and allows operators to offer new revenue opportunities. Liquid Net uses automated, self-adapting broadband optimization to remain constantly aware of the network’s operational status, as well as the services and content being consumed, to ensure the best user experience. It consists of three areas: Liquid Radio, Liquid Core and Liquid Transport.
“Liquid Net is a significant milestone in our efforts to help operators prepare for a world where it is difficult to predict demand, and the boundaries between hardware and software, and network and cloud, are increasingly blurred,” said Bosco Novak, head of Customer Operations, Nokia Siemens Networks. “This new world demands flexibility and agility which, until now, has been nearly impossible for operators with conventional, monolithic, rigid networks. Liquid Net’s intelligent and fluid use of network resources allows operators to deliver a superior broadband experience at all times.”
Bosco Novak will speak on ‘The Innovation Renaissance’ at Broadband World Forum on Wednesday, September 28 at 09:05 CET. Novak will explain why now, more than ever before, telecoms innovation is vital to support today’s rapidly changing economies and societies.
Nokia Siemens Networks will also unveil its new Network Cloning service, part of its Total Expertise approach in services. This approach supports telecom operators in adapting to new trends, market expectations and customer demands with speed, flexibility and agility. The service is the first of its kind in the telecom industry for Radio Network Controller (RNC) upgrade and modernization. It upgrades older RNCs quickly and with minimum disruption to the network, helping telecom operators achieve faster time-to-market, risk-free data migration and improved efficiency. With this service, the time taken to upgrade an RNC is cut from months to days, and operational costs for a modernization project can be reduced by up to 50 percent.
Visitors to Broadband World Forum 2011 will also get a first view of Nokia Siemens Networks’ commercially-ready 100G optical transport platform. The platform boosts the transmission capacity of optical fiber networks by 150 percent over existing 40G channel rates without compromising reach and performance. The 100G platform is part of the company’s Liquid Transport architecture and forms the basis for efficient and cost-effective DWDM optical transport.
Nokia Siemens Networks can be found at exhibition stand L1 at the event. Experts from the company will be available for one-to-one sessions with current and future customers.
