Solving the profitability equation
An increase in data demand is prompting mobile service providers to revisit network strategies. Their current spectrum assets, and the enhanced capacity features of their 3G networks, won’t support increasing loads.
The network evolution, answering a new balance of data and voice services, shall solve the profitability equation of cost and revenue-per-megabyte—driven by the need for improved scalability, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Operators are asking key evolution questions:
- How do you recommend I evolve my wireless network capacity and coverage to be as cost-efficient as possible and make the best use of my existing and new spectrum?
- How can you help me limit the end-to-end complexity (more users, technologies and applications) when I will have three radio technologies to manage?
- What are the tools that Alcatel-Lucent provides so that I can do more with less money?
- Should I shutdown my 2G network and when?
- Should I skip the upgrade path to 3G+ or the opposite?
- Should I focus on the 3G evolution capabilities and wait until LTE is fully up and running?
- How does the evolution of the ecosystem impact my network—devices, applications and content?
Based on the Alcatel-Lucent High Leverage Network approach to architecting tomorrow’s network, we can help you define the most relevant paths while optimizing your:
- 2G strategy
- 3G strategy
- LTE strategy
- Spectrum and re-farming opportunities
- Investment and sustainability options
