Nokia Self-Organizing Networks software to enhance network reliability for BT
- BT mobile division, EE, the UK’s largest 4G and 5G network, to deploy Nokia’s Self-Networks (SON) to reduce network cost, complexity and support enhanced reliability and service; deal confirms Nokia as BT’s biggest vendor in the UK.
- Nokia SON helps manage growing network complexity to create flexible solutions that automate operations across diverse eco-systems and address network issues more cost-efficiently.
With Nokia SON, EE can overcome network complexity to create
flexible solutions that better manage its network, as well as automating operations
across diverse eco-systems to minimize and address network issues more
cost-efficiently. Through intelligent automation, Nokia SON can better prevent
issues from developing to deliver a better customer experience, as well as
operational cost savings.
Nokia SON is automating key network operational tasks and
specific SON modules, such as the relationship management of neighboring radio
cells, to ensure error-free handovers. This supports end-users with a better
user experience by reducing dropped calls and interruptions.
Utilizing a Software Development Kit (SDK), EE will be able
to create custom SON solutions that are agile, intuitive, and cost-effective to
manage its unique multi-vendor, multi-technology network environment without
needing to outsource contractors.
Nokia SON has helped over 100 communications service
providers globally improve network reliability cost-efficiently.
Nokia’s ongoing collaborative partnership with EE’s parent
company, BT, takes a continuous development approach to ensure the latest
analytical procedures are incorporated into BT’s internal systems and
processes.
Steve Holmes, RAN Design Director of BT, said: “We see
immense opportunities for the ways in which Self-Organizing Networks can
support our mobile network to deliver the best experience possible for our
customers. Networks are complex ecosystems, with different vendors,
technologies, and layers; automating some processes helps to overcome these
difficulties. The result will be networks with enhanced customer reliability
and service as well as reduced energy consumption. We see our strengthening
partnership with Nokia as key to realizing these objectives.”
Mark Atkinson, SVP, Radio Access Networks PLM at Nokia,
said: “As mobile networks become more complex, maintaining high network quality
and reliability through intelligent automation is paramount. As BT prepares to
further its 5G deployment, Nokia SON streamlines automation needs, allowing
network issues to be resolved effortlessly and to maintain reliable service
without the need for outside contractors.”
