Nokia Networks, Ooredoo show 0 times faster upload with Centralized RAN at ITU event in Qatar

Doubles average uplink capacity across a cell

Extends smart phone battery life due to less interference

Doha, Qatar - At ITU Telecom World 2014, Doha, Qatar, 7-10 Dec 2014, Nokia Networks and Ooredoo demonstrate, how uplink capacity can significantly increase with Centralized RAN. During large events in stadiums, there can be more uplink than downlink traffic as people upload pictures and videos. Nokias Centralized RAN links multiple LTE base stations to work directly with one another and doubles the average uplink capacity across a cell.

Higher upload speed, longer battery life

Multiple base stations provide coverage over a small area. This creates considerable interference from mobile devices, reducing network capacity and impairing service quality. Centralized RAN reduces interference between neighboring cells and allows up to 10 times faster uploads at the cell edge. Battery life of smart devices last longer as they dont need to transmit at high power to cut through the interference.
