 Best approaches to radio convergence

 5-band (800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz) and 3-mode (GUL) in 1- “By cooperating with local telecoms authorities, utilizing the
cabinet for one site rich LTE experiences from Vodafone Germany and Huawei, we
are confident that the project will be carried out successfully.”
——Hartmut Kremling, CTO of Vodafone Germany
Figure 5-2 Huawei SingleRAN Solution in Vodafone D2, Germany

Vodafone D2 has always been at the forefront of technology and has embarked in network modernization
to modernize its GSM and UMTS network into a combined GSM, UMTS and LTE RAN. The modernization
involves 23,000 sites to be deployed within 5 years. The deployment started in August 2010 and up till
March 2011, Huawei has successfully deployed more than 1000 sites on air. Moreover, Vodafone
launched Germany’s first LTE service on September 15th 2010 with Huawei.

The deployment involves the smallest footprint with 5 bands (800/900/1800/2100/2600) and 3 technologies
(GSM/UMTS/LTE) in 1 cabinet per site. This smart site solution drastically reduces the overall TCO saving
the overall site cost, operational cost and ancillary cost.

TeliaSonera: Expanding network with SingleRAN GUL

Requirements
 Total 7,600+ sites (70% Market share) covering Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger
 Swap 4000+ Vendor N GSM and UMTS sites
Benefits
 E2E solution modernized TeliaSonera’s legacy GSM/UMTS and LTE
networks
 TCO saving: SingleRAN with three features
 TeliaSonera can now meet rapidly increasing MBB requirements
"We are building a new world class mobile network in Norway with GSM,
UMTS and LTE access to offer our customers an enormous coverage and
speed improvement. We have selected Huawei to deliver the southern
part of the Norwegian network based on their high quality technology
and competitive total solution."
——Claes Nycander, CTO and SVP of Mobility Services at TeliaSonera.
Figure 5-3
Expanding network with Huawei SingleRAN in Telia Sonera
TeliaSonera, Norway made history by being the first LTE commercial network which was launched in
December 2009 with Huawei as the sole supplier of LTE and EPC during the commercial launch. The LTE
network performance has been outstanding with average throughput for downlink is 40Mbps and uplink is
35Mbps. Based on the success of the LTE network, TeliaSonera further awarded Huawei to expand the
LTE network and modernize their legacy NSN GSM and UMTS sites in the south of Norway about 7600
sites.
Facing intense competition from other operators, TeliaSonera chose to pioneer LTE deployment. Since
then, it has aggressively expanded its LTE coverage and at the same time modernized its GSM and UMTS
networks. The Huawei solution not only helped to prepare the network for the increasing MBB data traffic,
at the same time it helped rapidly reduce its overall TCO with 3 networks in one BTS.
7 Overall Summary
In this document, Huawei provides a comprehensive technical proposal of SingleRAN network
for Tangerine Limited. Overall description on the equipment features and highlight of solution
proposed. The benefit includes fast time to market, building up leading SingleRAN network with
cost effective investment, best network performance based on SingleRAN platform.

• More than “Single”
  Improved OM efficiency: It unifies the OM experience, view, and knowledge transfer.

After the SingleOM is deployed, configuration parameters, alarm types, and performance
counters of MBTSs decrease and performance, configuration, and fault management are
simplified. The unified OM ensures that OM knowledge transferred successfully for only
one time.
  Improved NBI integration efficiency: It unifies northbound interface and improves

integration efficiency. The number of NBI integration parameters decreases and the
transmission and IP addresses are unified.
 Unified hardware and improved efficiency in managing spare parts
• Spend less for best network
  One-equipment. One deployment is designed for 10 years’ viability and this can
reduce TCH’ Capex for a long time. Co-Auxiliary facilities save much Capex with so many
sites.
  Co-OAM. The exiting maintenance team can thus manage the more and more
complex GUL network, with OPEX saved by synergy..
  Industry leading 6-carrier technology, enable once for all hardware deployment, thus
minimize the OPEX cost due to future expansion.
Huawei earns reputations of being a fast-growing, innovative, responsible and experienced

vendor in telecommunication field, especially in the leading position in many technology
aspects. Huawei is confident that the offered products can bring an advanced, tailored and most
cost-effective mobile network to Tangerine Limited. We hope this offered package will lead to a
long-term cooperation between Huawei and Tangerine Limited. As an innovative and reliable
vendor in the telecommunication industry, Huawei is dedicated to deliver a robust, future-
oriented and cost-effective GSM&LTE system for our customer with the state-of-the-art
technology. A stable and long-term cooperation is the commitment that Huawei always believes
in.
We look forward to the opportunity to work with Tangerine Limited.
