NSN doubles downlink data rates at 1 GB/day

Building on its experience from the commercially-launched LTE-Advanced networks in Korea, Nokia Solutions and Networks is enabling operators to double data rates in FDD-LTE and TD-LTE networks. Additionally, NSN has announced to increase uplink and downlink data rate at 1GB per day.

With NSN’s LTE-Advanced carrier aggregation they can create larger bandwidths for subscribers by aggregating spectrum resources. NSN carrier aggregation works on paired spectrum allocations (FDD-LTE) and on unpaired spectrum allocations (TD-LTE).

Our Smart Scheduler has always been the crown jewel in our LTE implementation. Together with our innovative approach to carrier aggregation, we’ve proven to have the fastest and most efficient solution for enabling operators to launch their LTE-Advanced networks. Our hands-on experience with our operator customers in the world’s most advanced markets is a clear testament to that, said Tero Peltola, VP – LTE, NSN.

NSN has enhanced its Smart Scheduler to deliver up to 50% higher uplink data rates at cell edge and up to 20% more uplink cell capacity. The enhanced performance can be achieved on FDD-LTE and TD-LTE networks through a simple software upgrade on top of NSN Flexi MultiRadio Base Stations. NSN optimization services have gained valuable experience of optimizing LTE networks in advanced markets such as Japan and Korea, and can help to further fine-tune cell edge performance of the network
