NSN Voice core

e2e NSN solution

Berlin, Germany September,10, 2013

Berlin, Germany September, 9, 2013

Successfully completes LTE live voice services using

customers own equipment and network in IFA trade
show.

Deutsche Telekom has invited consumers to feel the

difference with Voice over LTE (VoLTE) at this years
IFA electronics show in Berlin (6-11 September), a
showcase supported by commercial NSN technology.

With good co-operation with Vodafone Germany NSN

was able to provide live VoLTE call with customers own
equipment located in Germany.
Hartmut Kremling, CTO Vdf Germany was very
impressed of the outcome: I had to say wow when I saw
the live demo of Voice-over-LTE at our booth, powered by
technology from NSN, where we are the first to show this
as a live service in Germany utilizing Vodafone own
network resources.

16

Our Voice over LTE solution offers a clear evolutionary

path for providing VoLTE, and this demo is further
evidence of the commercial readiness of NSN, said
Susanne Fettig, DT GCBT head at NSN.

NSN innovation on VoLTE core solution

All world largest LTE network subscribers are on the NSN IMS and HSS today
Unique IMS deployment experience with respect to scaling, geo-redundancy
support, overload handling and over 40 different 4G/LTE UE types integrated
January 8th, 2013

Building a very fast growing

LTE/IMS network is different from
CS or fixed networks
Very heavy signaling load in LTE
Aggressive and vendor specific
UE behavior
Unusual situation in the network
may cause huge signaling storms

NSN innovation in the core solution:

IMS/HSS base UE priority handling
during high load and signaling storm
HSS overload protection in the IMS
HSS intelligent rate control to identify
mad peer network elements
IMS programmability for UE integration

According unique learnings NSN have already implemented significant number of

enhancement to VoLTE core elements
The key challenges apply all VoLTE deployments
