 B12 GSM release –Value proposition

KEY BENEFITS

• CAPEX gains and Better Voice Quality with A (UP) over IP

• Lower site cost (Smaller footprint), BSC CAPEX & Power consumption
TCO savings and lower A/A-ter transmission OPEX with 2800 TRX & 12 600
REDUCTION Erlang per BSC cabinet
• Deliver more voice channels and data throughput per site with up 36
TRX per SUM and 4 E1 per SUM
• Reduced transmission OPEX with Native IP in the BSS
• Reduced TRX CAPEX in Multi-RAT context with MSR

KEY BENEFITS
DIFFERENTIATE
ON VOICE • Improved spectral efficiency and TRX CAPEX with Voice services over
Adaptive Multi-user channels on One Slot (VAMOS)

KEY BENEFITS
DIFFERENTIATE
• Reduced MFS Capex: support of new boosted GP board allowing
ON DATA
more processing power. Target is to support twice the same amount of
traffic

 9130 MFS – GP boosted

• Due to an increase of GPRS traffic on some GSM customer

networks, a new board more powerful is expected
-> ALU answer : GP boosted
• Target is to support twice the same amount of traffic with no QoS
degradation
• Ater GCH equity algorithm’ has been designed on boosted GP to
optimize TDM connectivity usage and allow taking profit of
processing improvement at constant connectivity
• Mix of Legacy GP and boosted GP allowed

Lab results
Improvement on Boosted GP capacity and TBF throughput - tested with high signalling
Trafic model – high WAP, Messenger (Chat) ratio:
• Gb Throughput and average TBF throughput

• Usage of GCH

LR13-B13 GSM release: Value proposition (candidate)

• Lower controller site cost with the support of the lightRadiotm Cloud Element
(LRCE) in GSM: 4000 TRX per BSC & Packet integration

• Lower O&M expenditure with the support of the lightRadiotm O&M converged
platform

• Enhanced radio performance (Output Power, frequency span) with the latest
Improve radio module generation: SB-RRH
Operator
Efficiency • Transport cost reduction with the extension of IP transport to all radio modules
and new IP BSS features (Candidates: 1588 PTP and SyncE for synchronization)

• Reduced RNP/NPO OPEX (Candidates: call trace enhancements, automatic BCCH

frequencies observation and one hour RXQual reporting in RMS)

• Exploit your GSM Network at minimum cost thanks to MOCN (Multiple Operator
Core Network), allowing for BSS sharing by several operators

• Increased voice calls privacy with A5/4

Capturing
value • Higher Machine to Machine (M2M) packet traffic with the 3GPP MTC (machine
type communication) feature
