While operators will support market demand by quickly deploying new radio technologies, such as LTE, they must continue to support the existing GSM, EDGE, UMTS and HSPA networks for many years.

Rather than building a complex "vertical"network of separate radios, the need is for a "horizontal"integrated radio network that supports voice, narrowband data and mobile broadband.

Based on the concept of customer-oriented innovation, Huawei presents the 4th generation BTS, which features multiple radio access technologies (RATs) convergence, multiple carriers on one radio carrier (RC), green, and all IP.

Huawei initiates the convergent SingleRAN network, where all the RATs can be applied to a type of BTS. SingleRAN makes the technology choices and network evolution simple, to greatly reduce access to the site, the equipment room building, transmission and other ancillary costs of the OPEX.

"Huawei is the only manufacturer that has deployed the latest-generation base station on a large scale. Its SingleRAN solution, which is based on its fourth generation base station platform, supports network multi-mode convergence and evolution while reducing total costs of ownership for operators." --In-Stat

Allowing operators a first-time opportunity of truly deriving the ultimate benefits of ownership, Huawei’s SingleRAN solution will help operators establish a “maintenance-free” infrastructure that is critical to market and industry recovery.

With an enhanced single service platform, quality of service can be maintained, new applications quickly introduced, end user appeal and ARPU increased, and competitive strengths enhanced. Huawei’s SingleRAN truly affords our expanding wireless world a viable solution that is “One for All.”

With around 10,000 of Huawei fourth-generation base stations deployed by O2 in Germany, the TCO savings are much improved and the smooth evolution capabilities are quickly proving to be a winning combination.
