[April 25, 2013] M1 selects Nokia Siemens to improve voice core network Tweet Apr 25, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- M1, a provider of mobile and fixed communications in Singapore, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks, a data networking and telecommunications equipment company, to strengthen its voice core network and expand its 3G network by implementing its Liquid Core and radio networks, and refarming the GSM 900MHz band. "With this latest investment, our customers can look forward to better mobile experience, and indoor and outdoor coverage. Our network resiliency will be further enhanced with this modernization," said Patrick Scodeller, COO at M1. "A vital business mantra for all operators is to provide the best service experience to their customers, but what is equally vital is doing so cost efficiently," said Paul Tyler, head of Asia Pacific, Nokia Siemens Networks. "We have well understood the exact requirements of M1 and will provide our advanced Liquid Core platform and refarming service, which are cost efficient, and help increase revenue for the operator." Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will reportedly provide its Single RAN (radio access network), which is based on its energy-efficient Flexi Multiradio Base Station, coupled with its Multicontroller RNC and Liquid Radio software. As part of the Liquid Core portfolio, the company will also provide its ATCA-based open Mobile Switching Center Server (MSS) and open Media Gateway (MGW) to ensure the resiliency and operational efficiency of the operator's voice core network. This modernization will ensure an all-IP network for M, said Nokia Siemens. In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks will provide its Subscriber Data Management Platform (SDM) including New Technology Home Location Register (NT-HLR) and One-NDS subscriber data management system for a centralized database repository independent of the application used. The company will also provide a range of services to M1 such as network implementation, network optimization, and a full set of care services including hardware and software maintenance and competence development, added Nokia Siemens. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
