The Nokia IFH is simply a software upgrade to the base station system requiring only some additional network planning. Nokia IUO implements a two-layer network structure within the GSM network, where one layer provides seamless coverage and the other high capacity. Alternatively, frequency hopping can be used to improve only quality if the existing frequency plan is retained. The dynamic layer selection of Nokia IUO, based on the interference levels, guarantees good quality call connections in all conditions.
Operators can enjoy combined capacity and quality gain in their existing base station sites.
Soft Capacity, the smooth entry to microcellular The Nokia Soft Capacity solution is a continuously evolving combination of powerful software solutions which increase network capacity by using the available frequency bands more efficiently. As the capacity of existing sites can be increased through Nokia Soft Capacity features, investment in new sites can be postponed until absolutely necessary, freeing up capital for other purposes. Nokia Soft Capacity solutions can be used simultaneously in both the macro and micro layers, boosting capacity and improving quality in each layer so the operator can take the most out of its network. Available since 1995, it has been successfully implemented in several macrocellular and microcellular networks. Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is a broad-scope telecommunications company supplying mobile phones, mobile and fixed telecommunications networks, data communications solutions, multimedia terminals and PC monitors.
