Nokia Siemens has launched an array of new products to enhance mobile communication efficiency and address emerging communication challenges to Kenyan users. The products are designed to boost the communication architecture for individual users and enterprises currently realizing broadband era in the country.
Nokia Siemens has made a big push into mobile broadband networks with the introduction of Liquid network solutions. At the same time the company introducing a quality of service mechanism, sale outage compensation, charge@once unified charging system on the social media platforms and the liquid transport technologies.
The range of products shows Nokia Siemens interest in shifting the growing broadband demand capacity served on traditional bottled up platforms to newer and fluid environments. Here is a brief look of technologies Nokia Siemens are offering:
Quality of service mechanism
This utility creates an opportunity for telcos operators to create revenue by offering dedicated bandwidth to various user applications. With the Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, operators are able to assign various network resources to different paid up services occupying the bandwidth.

Self organizing network environments
Communication traffic is usually channeled along the path of least network resistance to get to where it is needed. Self organizing network environments hands over people making calls from one unreliable cell to the next one.
They provide an automatic scenario for cell stations to react to user behavior that constantly change their network areas by increasing coverage angles.
By using parameters generated on the quality of an areas’ network,  these self organizing network environments reduces manual efforts to manage capabilities in relocating existing capacities in smaller geographical areas.
With self organizing network environment, many of today’s network scalability and cost constraints are removed; they help in sale outage compensation.
Charge @Once Unified charging system
According to Nokia Siemens stats, there are more than 450 million registered social networking users world. This means about 40% of worldwide internet users are currently engaged in social networks, Nokia Siemens Charge @Once unified feature enables Facebook and other social media users to subscribe for applications from their smart phones and pay through an IM environment.
This charging system offers rating and charging of content, events and sessions in circuit and packet switched networks which are in depended of the payment platform i.e. Mpesa, Yu cash or Airtel money.
It is modular, highly scalable and flexible, ensuring competitive advantage through its customer-centric approach, enabling cost savings, and providing open interfaces for a smooth integration into your existing charging and billing.
 
Liquid transport
Today’s network capacities and services are bottled up; they are frozen in individual radio cells, in separate core applications and stuck on transport layers. This hampers the ability of communication service providers to deliver broadband to the right places. Nokia Siemens breaks this conventional capacity and resource limitation by transmitting more flexible and fluid optical data over long distances using optical technology.
Liquid transport is about flexibility in optical IP networks brought about by having the right balance between network layers and a mix of packets and optical traffic.
Overall, Liquid transport unleashes frozen network capacity into a reservoir of resources that can flow to fulfill unpredictable demand, wherever and whenever people use broadband.
