Press ReleaseEspoo, Finland February 13, 2012
Nokia Siemens Networks marks major milestone in Packet Core for
mobilebroadbandFirst vendor to deploy one billion packet core
subscriber licenses*; leads LTE-ready packetcore deployments
globally
Over 285 operators in more than 115 countries around the globe
use Nokia SiemensNetworks packet core offering* to serve the fast
growing demand for mobilebroadband. Of these, over 100 operators
use the companysLiquid Corebased LTE-ready packet core**, and are
equipping their networks to support LTE andsubstantially reduce
overall core network cost of ownership. The company hasdeployed
over 2000 packet core network elements*** worldwide, and is the
numberone provider of LTE-ready packet core for GSM/ EDGE, HSPA,
LTE and Wi-Fi basedmobile broadband networks.
Mobile broadband data traffic is expected to grow nearly 2600%
by 2015, and withconsumer users set to outpace enterprise users,
operators must be able to support typicalconsumer usage patterns
such as video streaming, gaming and social networking, saidThorsten
Robrecht, head of Network Systems product management, Nokia
SiemensNetworks. Our packet core helps them to do this smoothly and
cost-efficiently. Further,operators can easily evolve their
traditional packet core to support LTE using their
existingLTE-ready packet core, and manage all subscriber services.
This helps maximize revenueswhile lowering cost of delivery of
mobile broadband.
Nokia Siemens Networks LTE-ready packet core offering is based
on its Liquid Corearchitecture. This helps operators better manage
unpredictable data traffic demand byflexibly allocating network
resources, and channeling capacity where needed. Operators canenjoy
tremendous hardware efficiency gains by reducing floor space by up
to 80%, reapsubstantial core network savings for e.g. by lowering
energy costs by up to 65%, andmaintain the overall quality of
subscriber experience.
The companys LTE-ready packet core solution supports GSM/EDGE,
HSPA/HSPA+ andWi-Fi and LTE/LTE-Advanced. With this, operators can
protect their network investmentsmore easily by evolving their
existing packet core networks to support the latest radio
accesstechnologies with a software upgrade. They can also evolve to
a cloud based core network
architecture, pool resources such as processing power and share
them among different corenetwork applications such as applications
of LTE-ready packet core, IP MultimediaSubsystem (IMS) and Mobile
Softswitching System.

Notes:*The number of subscriber licenses is not indicative of
and cannot be correlated to number of servedsubscribers on the
network as operators typically deploy more licenses than the actual
number ofmobile broadband subscribers on their network. This over
dimensioning varies by operator, and isdone to support roaming
subscribers, and also have additional capacity for growth.
**Nokia Siemens Networks LTE-ready Packet Core or Evolved Packet
Core (EPC) is part of the LiquidCore and a solution that manages
mobile broadband connectivity for subscribers data services
toInternet, operators own network or corporate networks. It is the
evolution of packet core for all existing3GPP mobile networks and
plays an essential role in migrating to next-generation mobile
broadbandusing LTE/LTE-Advanced and supporting complementary access
technologies such as Wi-Fi.
The EPC solution consists of Flexi NS (Network Server) and Flexi
NG (Network Gateway) andprovides unique flexibility with 4D
scaling. With convincing capacity in throughput, subscriber
densityand signaling, operators can manage the data traffic
explosion and millions of smart devices.Combined with unparalleled
service intelligence, operators can ensure superior end user
experienceand manage network resource usage to maximize their
revenues.
***Nokia Siemens Networks Packet Core comprises of a mix of
network elements, those initiallydeployed for supporting GSM/EDGE,
as well as LTE-ready packet core network elements such asFlexi NS
(Network Server) and Flexi NG (Network Gateway).
