“By 2015, we expect to live in a broadband-IP world with five billion people ‘always on’ and therefore Nokia Siemens Networks is committed to protecting customer investments and continue to implement leading EDGE technology. Dual Carrier software upgrade is an easy and extremely cost efficient step to bring broadband user experience to GSM/EDGE networks”, says Ari Lehtoranta, Head of Radio Access Business Unit, Nokia Siemens Networks.

Operators can serve their customers even better using the Dual Carrier solution as the demand for data services and connectivity is immense , proven by the steep increase on data services consumption in 3G/HSPA networks today. With this solution, 3G/HSPA operators can offer service continuity for their 3G services.

Nokia Siemens Networks GSM/EDGE BSS is operational in 260 operator networks in 117 countries offering services to more than 1.5B subscribers. Nokia Siemens Networks is the indisputable no. 1 in EDGE with 125 public EDGE references.

“When 80 to 90 percent of a mobile operator’s energy is used by their network, we have to take drastic measures to decrease the energy consumption as much as possible,” said Anne Larilahti, Head of Environmentally Sustainable Business, Nokia Siemens Networks. “Nokia Siemens Networks continues to change the game with our award-winning Flexi platform and we are pleased that we are receiving this validation all around the world.”

“We thank CTIA for adding the Green category to this year’s line-up of awards, calling attention to the importance of this issue for our entire industry,” said Larilahti.

Built with over 90 percent materials, the Flexi Multiradio Base Station compared to conventional base stations is only 20 percent of the size and weight of a conventional base station, and it delivers an additional 40 percent in energy savings on top of the previous Flexi platform’s 70 percent reduction in power consumption. The power consumption of a typical three-sector base station site running GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA or LTE simultaneously is about 790W – the equivalent of a small kitchen appliance – and pushes an impressive 60W output per sector for maximum capacity and coverage.

The CTIA Emerging Technology Awards program is designed to give industry recognition and exposure to the best wireless products and services in the areas of mobile consumer electronics and applications; enterprise and vertical market technology; 4G and network infrastructure; and environmentally friendly hardware and services. Nearly 300 applications were submitted in 18 categories and reviewed by a panel of 30 recognized members of the media, industry analysts and executives. Products were judged on innovation, functionality, technological importance, implementation and overall “wow” factor.
