TD-LTE

For operators seeking a way to offer 4G services leveraging TDD spectrum – either as complement to existing networks or as an efficient standalone network – Nokia Siemens Networks TD-LTE delivers.

Nokia Siemens Networks has carved out a clear leadership position in LTE and we are committed to long-term support of both the Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and the Time Division Duplex (TDD) protocols. We have spearheaded LTE development, building an exceptionally experienced R&D team dedicated to creating innovative, future-proof and class-leading solutions for operators in all markets. The result is a high performance, cost-effective TD-LTE solution based on our flagship and award-winning Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station.

The Nokia Siemens Networks end-to-end TD-LTE solution begins with our high capacity Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station. To give you maximum flexibility, it’s built with a broad range of radio options, such as our newest TD-LTE 6 Pipes radio and TD-LTE 8 Pipes radio, and includes the industry’s highest capacity baseband – the Flexi Multiradio system module. Only the Flexi Multiradio combines an integrated transport module, LTE-Advanced capability, and is capable of delivering up to 10Gbps capacity in a Liquid Radio baseband pool architecture. The RAN solution is backed by our Flexi NG Enhanced Packet Core (EPC), as well as a compelling broad range of TD-LTE devices, management software and end-to-end services. The Nokia Siemens Networks TD-LTE solution includes a number of unique features that dramatically expand capacity and coverage – for example, our 6 sectors capability delivers up to 80% more capacity and 40% more coverage than typical 3 sectors systems.¹

Our Smart Scheduler capability enables up to 40% lower TCO by enabling more simultaneous subscribers in a given site.² It also includes another key differentiator – our interference mitigation techniques (IMT) software. In field trials using our TD-LTE commercial solutions, TD-LTE IMT delivered more than 100% improvement in downlink and cell throughput and 35% improvement in uplink throughput – resulting in fantastic user experiences with fewer sites deployed.³

As demand for access to ever-faster broadband networks continues to build, you need solutions that will support and enhance your TD-LTE network to satisfy subscribers. Nokia Siemens Networks’ award winning LTE Device portfolio provides products you can rely on to provide the highest quality of broadband network service.
