Nokia Siemens Networks is the global industry leader in UMTS-HSPA development. With over 180 3G
radio network references worldwide, the company supplies 18 of the 25 biggest 3G operators globally and
connects over half of the world's UMTS-HSPA subscribers.
Nokia Siemens Networks is also leading the industry in flat network architectures, underscored by its
innovative 3GPP-standardized Internet-HSPA (I-HSPA) technology. Enabling cost-efficient scaling of the
network with rapidly growing data traffic volumes,
I-HSPA works with all 3G devices, improving user experience by reducing latency, and paving the way
towards LTE.
� At Mobile World Congress 2010, Nokia Siemens Networks demonstrated the world’s first HSPA+
data call with a peak throughput of 112 Mbps. At CeBIT 2010, Deutsche Telekom together with
Nokia Siemens Networks conducted an HSPA+ data call with a peak throughput of 42 Mbps over
a standards-based UMTS network.
� December 15 th 2010 Nokia Siemens Networks together with T-Mobile USA announced a Long
Term HSPA Evolution initiative driving the future HSPA peak data rates beyond 650 megabits per
second (Mbps). The features under the Long Term HSPA Evolution umbrella are expected to be
part of 3GPP Release 11 aiming to make it available for commercial deployment by 2013.
At the heart of the company’s radio evolution is the Flexi Multiradio Base Station. The small, modular,
energy-efficient and award-winning base station makes full use of the software defined radio concept and
covers GSM-EDGE, UMTS-HSPA and LTE technologies – all running concurrently in a single unit. The
LTE-ready Flexi Multiradio Base Station has been shipped to 200 operators worldwide.
Nokia Siemens Networks is at the forefront of LTE research and technology development and a
frontrunner in 3GPP. Since making the first LTE call using commercial hardware and standards-compliant
software in 2009 (3GPP Rel-8), Nokia Siemens Networks was running LTE trials with over 25 operators
across the globe and had already been selected by 19 operators for commercial LTE deployment,
including the LTE pioneers TeliaSonera and Deutsche Telekom.
