A key factor for success in today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing market is the availability of flexible and adaptive high-capacity platforms that can be configured and transformed easily through software.
Nokia Siemens Networks’ Multicontroller Platform is the leader of a new generation of radio network controllers and transcoders for GSM and 3G networks designed specifically to deliver that fundamental competitive advantage.
Our Multicontroller Platform products – Multicontroller Base Station Controller (BSC) and Multicontroller Transcoder for GSM networks and Multicontroller Radio Network Controller (RNC) for 3G networks – provide you with all the capacity you need to serve your subscribers. 200,000 Erlangs, 50 Gbps, and 30,000 cells are some of the striking capacity figures of this new generation of products.
Even the highest capacity, though, is useless when controllers cannot adapt to the changes in traffic volume and profile.
With our Multicontroller Platform products, you can flexibly change the configuration of each of your controllers via software. The result is impressively high capacity available where and when your network needs it most - for serving voice, data or signaling.
And you can ramp up extra capacity as you need it with our innovative modular architecture that lets you add modules easily at any time and choose the capacity level within each module with software-controlled licenses.
Our Multicontroller Platform also let you select the network topology that’s best for you - from highly centralized configurations with very high-capacity controllers located at a few main switch sites to widely-distributed arhitectures with several smaller controllers located close to remote base station clusters.
And you can move from GSM to 3G as needed, with a simple software upgrade.
Both Multicontroller BSC and Multicontroller RNC can be installed as extension modules to existing controllers - the Flexi BSC controller for GSM and RNC 2600 controller for 3G respectively.
By reducing power consumption down to a low 550W per module, for example 0.2W per managed cell for Multicontroller RNC, our Multicontroller Platforms reduce your OPEX.
With a compact footprint of only 0.2 m2, (177 mm high, 444 mm deep and 450 mm wide) our Mulitcontroller Platforms are easy to install.
The business benefits
- Protects your investment with with software upgrade from GSM to 3G
- Puts capacity where you need it most by allocating controller resources flexibly across the user and control planes
- Lets you start with minimal capacity and scale up in line with demand
- Saves OPEX by extending the life of your current GSM and 3G networks and reducing power consumption
Why Nokia Siemens Networks?
Our Multicontroller Platform product features the highest capacity and and highest peak data rates available today.
During 2011, we have demonstrated the impressive capabilities of Multicontroller RNC, at several industry events including a stunning 336 Mbps data call at PT Expo Comm in Bejiing, China.
A leading analyst firm notes the industry-leading capabilities of our Multicontroller RNC:
“[…]capacity at around 10,000 BTS, still well above its competitors. The Multicontroller RNC’s solid Node B scalability implies that fewer RNCs are required […]”
“[…]Multicontroller RNC promises Erlang support of over 200,000 and BHCA capacity of 30 million – figures that dwarf its major competitors.[…]”
“[…]Multicontroller RNC currently promises over 50 Gbps of data throughput. No vendor promises a higher level of throughput.[…]”
