Nokia service to transform network optimization in the cloud era
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Nokia enables new agility and flexibility in network planning and
optimization (NPO) by combining cloud technologies with global expertise,
proven tools and methodologies
* NPO Transformation service will reduce operator complexity, shorten planning
and optimization by up to 40 percent, and free up proactive resources for
other tasks
* Assessment provides comprehensive view of operational performance and
efficiency

Espoo, Finland - Nokia is to launch an NPO Transformation service, leveraging
its global planning and optimization expertise, innovative software tools and
proven methodologies to provide operators with greater agility to meet customer
demand and tap into new business opportunities.
As operators take advantage of the opportunities offered by 4.5G and 4.5G Pro on
the path towards 5G, they are tasked with simplifying the network operations of
multiple legacy radio technologies. The Nokia NPO Transformation service will
help them do this, reducing the time spent on network planning and optimization
by up to 40 percent and freeing resources to focus on proactive customer-centric
tasks.
The service includes an operational assessment which uses value stream mapping
and a task model, developed from Nokia's extensive experience in conducting
transformation projects with multiple operators. The assessment provides
operators with a clear view of their current performance, measuring variables
such as productivity, capital expenditure, and the level of customer
satisfaction. Armed with this data, Nokia can then work with an operator to
define its goals in these areas and put in place a detailed transformation plan
focused on roles, processes and tools.
With access to a plethora of automated technologies and analytics, Nokia can
also provide operators with an in-depth view of network conditions over time,
allowing them to move away from reactive, labor-intensive network operations to
a more predictive approach. With tools such as the recently launched, cloud-
based AVA platform, Nokia can enhance knowledge of the customer experience,
allowing operators to make the most of existing infrastructure and to prioritize
future investments more efficiently.
Nokia is trialing the use of new technologies such as drones to cut the time,
cost and manpower spent on traditional drive- and walk-testing. One customer
trial used drones for optimizing network performance in a sports stadium. Nokia
is also using minimization of drive-testing features to provide a more rounded
view of the network over a longer period of time than can be gained by
traditional drive-tests. 3D Geolocation offers a more detailed alternative, with
the ability to correlate data on radio conditions and application performance,
and unlock hidden insight about the mobile experience for subscribers inside
high rise buildings. Where tasks such as site acceptance require traditional
drive-testing activities, Nokia is using automization to speed up data
processing.
Dennis Lorenzin, head of Network Planning and Optimization at Mobile Networks in
Nokia, said: "By leveraging Nokia's global scale, tools and its wealth of
expertise in network planning and optimization, operators can take advantage of
cost structures and technologies that may not otherwise be available to them.
The Nokia NPO Transformation service offers operators a comprehensive, step-by-
step approach to free them from many of their daily planning and optimization
tasks, allowing them to focus on their strategic business goals."
