Nearly 700,000 users in Shanghai already benefit from VoLTE technology
SHANGHAI – Nokia and China Mobile at Mobile World Congress Shanghai showcased an end-to-end voice-over-LTE optimization technology, which has already allowed the Chinese operator to rollout high-quality voice services over 4G in Shanghai.
Working with Shanghai Mobile, China Mobile’s regional subsidiary, Nokia applied its technical and professional services expertise to combine big data collection, storage and processing capabilities to develop an analytics platform monitoring signaling data across the network.
Nokia said the VoLTE optimization technology allowed Shanghai Mobile to expand its service from hundreds of precommercial users to the more than 700,000 subscribers. The vendor also said the optimization of the Shanghai Mobile’s VoLTE service in Shanghai is underpinned by the platform, which enables end-to-end performance management and assurance across a multivendor core and radio network. Intelligence analytics are used to identify issues in real time, such as the setting up of a new mobile device.
During Mobile World Congress Shanghai, the companies used real data from Shanghai Mobile’s network to demonstrate VoLTE performance management, KPI monitoring, network troubleshooting and service optimization.
“In future, the Nokia AVA platform will enable us to replicate this with other operators across the globe to ensure the fast roll out of commercial VoLTE services,” added Dennis Lorenzin, head of mobile networks planning and optimization at Nokia.
