Smartphone GSM network optimizationBusiness aspects

Value proposition• Optimize HW expansion and SW upgrade (features

and releases) to follow the smartphone traffic trend• Minimize Operator investment in tech competence

development• Minimize the Churn improving network quality for

smartphone• Minimize traffic loss removing bottlenecks

Market trends and driversData booming is not limited to 3G networks

but it is also affecting the 2G networks especially in countries where the 2G is still the most used technology. The smartphones are driving this trend and it is also expected a continuos growth in the market of this kind of phones

Challenges and opportunities• Data traffic and signalling produced mainly by

smartphones, tablets and dongle is heavily impacting the GSM network capacity causing bottlenecks, congestions, low troughput and network end users unsatisfaction

• The Operator must spend OPEX (time, human resources, competence development, churn) and CAPEX (HW and SW) to follow all these challenges

• NSN opportunity is to support the Operators to solve the above issue providing: smartphones profiling, capacity forecast for smartphone traffic & signalling, network optimization for CAPEX optimization and churn reduction

Positioning• GSM operators (LAT, APAC, MEA, China)

expecting to launch or already launched smartphones

Differentiation• Depth knowledge of NSN network system and feature• Proprietary NPO Tools
