Nokia launches revolutionary switching equipment to more than double subscriber capacity
October 26, 1998
For the Nokia High Capacity GSM system
Nokia today expands its mobile switching product family by launching new, high capacity products as part of the Nokia High Capacity GSM system. Launched at the PT/ExpoComm exhibition in Beijing, China, the DX 200 "i-series" products offer the market's highest capacity.
The DX 200 "i-series" products will bring significant savings for network operators, reducing required site size by up to 60 per cent and offering up to a 70 per cent power saving thanks to a new compact design. The DX 200 "i-series" Mobile Switching Centre (MSCi) more than doubles existing capacity and is capable of handling up to 400,000 subscribers.
Operators can also fully use sophisticated features, such as Intelligent Network (IN)-based services, as Nokia's switches can operate at maximum capacity even if all the calls in the network require an IN service. Nokia's MSCi is built to cope with the most demanding mobility management traffic generated in the most dense city networks.
The DX200 "i-series" also includes high capacity products for the Home Location Register (HLR) capable of supporting 1.2 million subscribers.
"All new DX 200 "i-series" products work seamlessly with existing DX 200 mobile switching equipment," explains Sauli Salo, Senior Vice President, Mobile Switching, Nokia Telecommunications. "With Nokia's expanded range of complementary high-capacity products for urban and rural networks, plus transit switching, the DX 200 "i-series" will give GSM operators complete flexibility to optimise their growing networks."
Nokia offers total GSM systems, with everything from digital mobile phones to transmission and switching as well as extensive services and network management solutions for building, efficiently operating and developing these networks. Having supplied GSM technology to 74 operators in 37 countries, Nokia ranks as the world's largest supplier of GSM 1800 networks and one of the two largest in GSM 900. The world's first GSM call was made through a Nokia network in 1991
Nokia is the world's leading mobile phone supplier and a leading supplier of mobile and fixed telecom networks including related customer services.
