Motorola has launched its Long Term Evolution (LTE) advanced self-organizing network (SON) solution, designed to help operators reduce operational expenses from day one of the deployment of their LTE network.
Motorola’s advanced SON is a 3GPP Release 8 standards-compliant solution that draws upon the company’s history in network autonomics (self-management) research and expertise in planning, deploying, optimizing and managing commercial wireless networks. It includes a host of advanced features, improved architecture and leading algorithms that go beyond specifications in the standards.
The solution is being demonstrated this week at the LTE World Summit in Berlin.
Motorola says SON automates previously manual steps involved in planning, deploying, optimizing and operating the network, hence lowering the need for new operation and management resources typically required to manage an additional network technology (2G, 3G, plus LTE). In addition to lowering the cost of planning and deploying LTE, the advanced algorithms and features of Motorola’s LTE SON solution will help the operator dynamically optimize its network for best performance and make it simpler and easier to manage, according to the company.
