Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets)

Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets)

Deliver a high quality mobile broadband service using a hybrid network with unified control and optimization.

To enable the highest quality experience for demanding smartphone users, your network must have a low number of devices per cell. Users also have to be as close to the base station as possible. All this requires small cells. However, large cells are the most cost-effective way to serve fast-moving users and rural homes.

The best way to meet these differing requirements is with our Heterogeneous Network solution which deploys a mix of technologies, frequencies, cell sizes and network architectures to optimally respond to rapid changes in customer demand.

We can help you manage this hybrid network as a unified whole so that customers can be steered to the best cell for their speed, application and device. Our Heterogeneous Network saves power by switching off layers at times of low traffic, reduces cost by organizing itself without intervention and maximizes efficiency by managing interference and power levels automatically.

What Nokia Siemens Networks can offer:

Flexi Zone
Flexi Zone is set to become the benchmark for a new kind of solution. Multiple, locally managed access points are used to create a network of interconnected small cells that helps operators to add coverage and capacity to existing macro networks.

Smart WLAN connectivity solution
Selectively offload traffic from mobile to Wi-Fiaccording to your network needs, with a 3GPP standards-based solution that integrates mobile and Wi-Fi networks. Your subscribers experience faster data connections, and your mobile network’s capacity is preserved.

Femto solution
Benefit from 3G Femto mass market consumer premises equipment (CPE) using our standardized interfacefrom certified vendors worldwide. It comes with the plug-and-play access subscribers have come to expect from fixed-line broadband.

The business benefits

  • Improve the coverage of your network
  • Increase the network capacity to match user demand
  • Enhance the user experience for your customers
  • Lower the cost of delivering mobile broadband services
