Nokia Introduces the World's First GSM Dual Band BTS
September 09, 1997
Fast capacity increase by integrating GSM 1800 Transceivers (TRXs) into existing GSM 900 Base stations
Today's interactive networks, providing total mobility, GSM internet access and other advanced mobile services, all place increasing capacity demands on GSM networks. Nokia is continuously working on developing various solutions with which GSM operators can meet this demand easily, flexibly and as cost-effectively as possible. One solution for operators to increase capacity, is to implement a dual band network. To satisfy this market need, Nokia today introduces a new, unique product, the Nokia GSM 900/1800 Dual Band BTS (base station). This provides the possibility to integrate GSM 1800 transceivers (TRXs) into an existing GSM 900 Base station (BTS).
The Nokia GSM 900/1800 Dual Band base station is designed to incorporate both GSM 900 and GSM 1800 TRXs into one cabinet. The increased flexibility available with this all-in-one solution offers a wide range of new revenue generating opportunities for operators. With one cabinet incorporating both frequency spectrums, new site acquisition is minimised and additionally, space can be saved on existing sites.
"Fast and flexible capacity increase is proving to be a constant headache for network operators," explains Olli Oittinen, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Radio Access Systems. "The Nokia GSM 900/1800 Dual Band BTS is one solution for operators to reduce this capacity headache easily and cost effectively, as well as increasing revenue possibilities. It is the world’s first Dual Band BTS to gain full type approval."
Nokia offers total GSM systems, with everything from digital mobile phones to transmission to switching. Having supplied GSM technology to 61 operators in 33 countries Nokia ranks as the world's largest supplier of GSM 1800 networks and as one of the two leading suppliers of GSM 900 networks.
