Telekom Srbija has choosen an energy efficient solution from Nokia Siemens Networks for further extension of its 2G and 3G networks. The leading Serbian mobile operator is expanding its high-speed mobile broadband service by extending and upgrading its 2G and 3G networks, strengthening its competitive position. Telekom Srbija’s mobile arm, mt:s, has chosen the industry’s most energy efficient mobile network from Nokia Siemens Networks for the project. The network extension will increase the mt:s network capacity and the availability of quality multimedia and data services across the nation, as customers in smaller Serbian towns in addition to residents of major cities will be able to enjoy mobile broadband.  The project, to be completed by the end of the year, covers 2G and 3G radio and core equipment, a broad range of services including network  implementation, integration and care as well as an upgrade of the network and service management solution to reduce dropped calls. Nokia Siemens Networks will extend the existing prepaid charging platform to allow mt:s to offer attractive loyalty programs to its subscribers. Nokia Siemens Networks radio access network is based on the advanced Flexi base station, the industry’s smallest and most efficient multi-technology node, providing significant operational savings and reducing power consumption by up to 70 percent, as compared to traditional equipment. The network, with High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology, offers faster and easier downloads and greater capacity to mt:s subscribers. The high-capacity packet core solution will let mt:s support a large number of mobile consumers, even if they are heavy users of data services. It can also be upgraded to prepare for the “flat architecture” that will be part of future Long Term Evolution mobile networks.
