Liquid Radio

Capacity demand on mobile networks is booming. There are growing numbers of different technologies to coordinate and more radio access points to manage. There is also more fluctuation of demand as smartphone, tablet and other smart device users switch applications and devices at different times and places. We understand you need to be able to meet the constantly changing capacity and coverage demands of mobile broadband users in the most cost-effective way. 

Nokia Siemens Networks Liquid Radio adapts the capacity and coverage of your networks to match fluctuations in user demand. It maximizes network performance and minimizes operating costs by automating operations.

Liquid Radio advances the conventional structure of base stations and repositions their components in new ways to achieve unprecedented scalability. The radio frequency elements and the antenna become active, sized and positioned according to need, while baseband processing is pooled and situated in a remote location.

Nokia Siemens Networks Liquid Radio is built on Single RAN Active Antenna Systems, Baseband Pooling and Unified and SON-enabled Heterogeneous Networks.

Single RAN Active Antenna Systems

We help you direct coverage exactly where users need it with beamforming, which increases capacity by up to 65% and lowers site costs. Our active antenna system supports multi-radio and multi-band access and minimizes radio frequency losses. Our Self Organizing Networks (SON) solution for active antenna automatically optimizes and steers the beams according to the actual traffic mix, traffic location and user demands in different time of the day.

Baseband Pooling

With us, you can centralize the digital signal processing typically done at base stations and share it with several sites or pico cells. This can release up to 80% of unused baseband capacity by ensuring capacity is dynamically matched with the needs of end users as they change over time.

Unified and SON-enabled Heterogeneous Networks

We’ll enable you to integrate all your radio network elements, no matter what their cell size, technology or frequency, with automated management and seamless interworking. We can help you manage a complex set of networks as one single network, with an emphasis on superior customer experience.
