Nokia Siemens Networks triples CDMA base station capacity

| December 7, 2011 08:58 UTC | 0 comments | source

 

Nokia Siemens Networks today announced the addition of 1X Advanced to their current portfolio of CDMA base station technologies.

When 1X Advanced is fully deployed, it will allow network operators to improve call quality, coverage and energy efficiency. This new technology will also be able to handle three times the volume of voice and data traffic, eventually resulting in more users being able to access a base station at even higher speeds.

Nokia Siemens Networks says that for operators to receive all of the above, they’ll just need to upgrade a board on existing base stations. The new 1X Advanced boards will ship in volume by the end of this year.
