- Underpins Nokia Networks’ leadership and expertise in multivendor SON for 2G, 3G and LTE
- Cuts operators’ opex by adding automation and agility to rapidly changing mobile network deployments and day-to-day operations
- Operators will benefit from native multivendor functionality, profound mobile network expertise and Nokia Networks’ global services scale
Espoo, Finland – 13 July 2015
Nokia Eden-NET combines the best Self Organizing Networks (SON) functionality from the now-completed Eden Rock acquisition and Nokia Networks iSON Manager in one solution. This initiative boosts Nokia Networks’ unwavering focus on providing the best-in-class multivendor SON capabilities. It also responds to operators’ need to simplify, improve agility and efficiency of rapidly changing networks operations.
The new solution is based on both Eden Rock’s Eden-NET and Nokia Networks iSON Manager. It combines the best functionality of both solutions proven to offer substantial improvements to the performance and reliability of mobile networks through automated processes. Thanks to its unique open framework, the solution will allow operators to both customize and create new SON modules to remedy operator-specific pain points. Like no other solution before it, this will provide needed agility and boost industry-wide SON innovation.
With the successful integration of both portfolios, Nokia Networks has accelerated feature availability by some 6 to12 months and provides the broadest portfolio of SON modules with superior proven algorithms. This is an important step towards its vision to enable self-aware networks for personalized experiences.
