Now a Liquid Technology by Nokia Siemens to address network congestion problems

‘Necessity is the mother of invention.’ The need of resolving telecom network congestion has inspired Nokia Siemens Network to come up with a brand-new Liquid Technology. The development is likely to ease the problem and do market a world of good.

Telecom operators globally are facing deficit of network capacity post the emergence of smartphones and tablets. The problem emerges due to high-speed video buffering on these devices in peak hours. With passage of time and rapid developments on smartphones/tablets front, the problem has aggravated.

According to Times of India article, the networks at city centers stay completely occupied and with traditional technology, operators are left with no option but to buy new base stations for the centers to release the pressure. 

The world’s No. 2 mobile gear manufacturer after Ericsson provides resources across mobile and broadband networks. With arrival of new technology, the problem is expected to resolve gradually. Already telecom equipment manufacturers use standard servers that ultimately bring in good margins from particular manufacturer.

According to Phil Twist, Marketing Head at NSN’s Network Systems Unit, the new technology ensures optimum use of capital. It invests in total network load but not in peak levels, he stated.
Meanwhile, the new network software reduces the dependency on dedicated equipment by providing majority of the required features.

The new Liquid technology from Nokia Siemens Network is likely to release pressure exerted on it by Ericsson along with Chinese players like Huawei and ZTE, which are offering extremely cheap and strong hardware.

Overall, the 50-50 venture of Nokia and Siemens finally seem to be generating results. With this, NSN is likely to pose some serious competition to Ericsson and other rivals, which have been making its life difficult.
