Nokia Siemens Networks has been selected by five mobile operators in India. Recent deals with Bharti Airtel, Datacom, Idea Cellular, Tata Teleservices and Uninor have made the vendor the dominant provider of packet core solutions for GSM and 3G networks. The packet core solution helps reduce the total cost of ownership and maximize future revenue opportunities for operators, while addressing growing bandwidth requirements.
"Our intelligent packet core solution converts bit pipes to smart pipes, allowing operators to offer rich mobile broadband services, and not just data connectivity. With this, operators can minimize data delivery cost while securing and maximizing data revenues. In other words, it helps them enter profitable mobile broadband," said Ashish Chowdhary, Head, Customer Operations East & Executive Board Member, Nokia Siemens Networks.
The solution includes fair use policies that enable operators to deliver consistent service quality to all subscribers, irrespective of their data usage. Operators can also generate additional revenue by prioritizing subscribers, services and applications with a 'bandwidth on demand' offering. In addition, operators can launch and scale up services much faster to address the exponential growth in data traffic as 3G gains popularity in India.
