Huawei launches world's first multi-mode Base Station Controller
Bangalore: Huawei Technologies launched the world's first convergent Base Station Controller (BSC) which integrates both the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) BSC and the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) RNC (Radio Network Controller) into one multi-mode controller. The component was launched at the Huawei Mobile User Congress in Munich, Germany. The new equipment will enable operators to achieve the full convergence of multi-mode wireless networks, including greater efficiency with operation and maintenance, radio resource management and transmission resource management. The product has been specifically designed to support multiple wireless systems via a single uniform access network and integrate radio bearers for voice, narrowband data and mobile broadband into one network element. "Convergence and scalability have become ubiquitous links in our value chain and the launch of the world's first multi mode BSC is another key step towards a fully converged network evolution for operators," said Wan Biao, President of Huawei wireless product line. "With one purchase decision, operators can now realize the optimal benefits of ownership from a cost and time efficient solution for multiple network investment protection and enhanced performance." Huawei also launched two software-defined radio (SDR) enabled RRUs (Radio Remote Units) with dual-transmitter capability. The first RRU supports GSM/UMTS/LTE (Long Term Evolution) technologies by using the same 1800M/1900M/850M/900M spectrum and is the only SDR enabled RRU product to have received standardization by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. The second SDR enabled RRU can provide UMTS/LTE services while using the same 2100 MHz spectrum. Huawei's SingleRAN solution is software configurable according to different traffic models to have more GSM or UMTS capacity. Operators such as O2, China Unicom, America Movil and TeliaSonera were among the first to adopt this optimal, long-term solution.
