High-Performance Site Solution

Up with mobile broadband
coverage and capacity

Smart devices are a boon and a bane for communication service providers (CSPs).

They offer rich opportunities and account for much of the industrys growth but

they pose great challenges for CSPs hard-pressed to meet skyrocketing demand.
On top of the ever increasing laptop user traffic, smart devices generate unprecedented
levels of data coupled with hugely increased mobility, forcing CSPs to cope with surging
traffic and spiking subscriber demand by deploying added resources, such as carriers
and new base stations.

The bandwidth/ cost crunch

The conventional approach to tackling
the bandwidth challenge is to

Find new sites

Efficiently increase spectrum
Improve indoor coverage
Add new resources to legacy sites

But these options are not always

available, financially feasible, or even
practical. Conventional approaches
failed to extend both capacity and
coverage at the same time, so past
attempts to improve performance
involved a trade-off between the two.

Mobile broadband
everywhere
It takes a smarter network to satisfy
fast-growing user and traffic demands
and deliver mobile broadband
everywhere, to keep everyone connected
all the time. Nokia Siemens Networks
has developed such an innovative and

intelligent solution to handle data traffic

growth. Called the High-Performance
Site Solution or HPSS for short, it is
engineered to improve GSM, WCDMA,
and LTE network performance, treating
subscribers to true broadband and a
high-end mobile experience.

Have it all:
GSM, WCDMA & LTE
Based on the Flexi Multiradio BTS, an
award-winning base station featuring
GSM, WCDMA and LTE capabilities
rolled into the same hardware, HPSS
pushes far beyond the boundaries of
conventional networks capabilities by
expanding the traditional three-sector
setup to six sectors. This six-sector
site configuration constitutes a major
advance in performance and efficiency.
And all this power comes in an ultra
compact package augmented with
modern dual-sector and multiband
antenna technology.

Twice as much for

GSM and EDGE

Technical data
Radio technologies

GSM, EDGE, WCDMA, HSPA, I-HSPA, LTE

Installations options

Modular base station for indoor and outdoor installation;

floor, wall, pole, mast mountable; supports distributed and
feeder-less site setups

Frequency bands

High-Performance site solution is geared to support multiple

bands, for example: 850, 900, 1800, 1900, 1700/2100, 2100,
and 2600 MHz. Availability depends on market and operator
requirements.

Typical capacity

Up to 6+6+6+6+6+6 GSM or 4+4+4+4+4+4 WCDMA or

1+1+1+1+1+1 LTE at 20 MHz or flexible combination of
the above technologies.

Base station configuration

2 Flexi 3-sector RF module (or 6 Remote Radio Heads)

+ 1 system module for GSM/EDGEor WCDMA/HSPA or LTE.

with utmost efficiency

Typical power consumption

GSM: 691 W, 1+1+1+1+1+1, 20W per carrier @ 50% load

WCDMA: 840W, 1+1+1+1+1+1, 20W per carrier @ 50% load

Output power

360W

Ingress protection class

IP65

Whats more, HPSS can boost base

station capacity for WCDMA and LTE
by as much as 80 percent. This high
capacity gain has already been proven
in live networks for WCDMA which has
also revealed a 40 percent greater
coverage per base station, thanks to
higher-gain antennas, taking network
performance and user experience
to a new level. This extraordinary
improvement comes courtesy of a
streamlined design with twice as many
resources and higher order sectorization,
bringing the total number of sectors to
six, each with dedicated power amplifiers.

Supported antennas

All main antenna vendors are supported,

i.e. Kathrein, TenXC, Andrew and Argus

Paired with our spectral efficiency

enhancing features and dual-sector
antennas, HPSS
Provides twofold the capacity
for GSM and EDGE
Doubles the capacity of traffic
channels
Increases signaling capacity, which
is such a crucial resource for serving
the demands of smart devices
Taking mobile broadband coverage
and capacity up a notch or two, HPSS
clearly outperforms the conventional
base station.

What can this solution do

for CSPs? HPSS
Provides cost-effective means of
delivering the mobile broadband
coverage and capacity required to
satisfy growing demand for bandwidth
Vastly improves GSM, EDGE, WCDMA,
and LTE network performance
Boosts signaling capacity to
better serve smart devices
Enables high-end mobile
broadband services
Provides better coverage with fewer sites

Smart and streamlined

HPSS leaves a very small footprint
indeed, with the most compact variation
comprising just three lightweight Flexi
Multiradio modules one system module
connected via fiber to two radio modules.
Despite taking up such little space and
weighing less than 75 kg, this ultra
compact setup produces an impressive
360 watts of output power.

Multiple technologies
and frequencies
Several prominent antenna makers
already offer dual-sector antennas.
One antenna element supports two
sectors, so solution featuring this
breed of state-of-the-art antenna
can accommodate several additional
frequency bands. Our HPSS combines
compact Flexi Multiradio Base Station
hardware and three antennas to make
the most of these capabilities and
operate multiple technologies and
frequencies simultaneously.

Stepping up to a
smarter network
Alongside cost-efficiency, convenience,
and performance power, one of the
greatest advantages of HPSS is that
the entire package is rugged and
robust enough to be sited outdoors
close to antennas. This field-proven
outdoor design maximizes CSPs
benefits: For one, the proximity to
antennas further improves performance.
For the other, because HPSS is so
easily deployed outdoors, CSPs
can capitalize on further cost-saving
opportunities by removing cabinets
and indoor sites.

Why HPSS?
In a nutshell, the Nokia Siemens
Networks High-Performance Site
Solution enable CSPs to build smarter,
streamlined and more cost-efficient
networks to master the capacity and
coverage challenge, and bring services
to market faster, at lower expense,
and with far greater quality.
