GSM EDGE Access

The Alcatel-Lucent 5078 Signaling Transfer Point (STP) is a fully functional, compact STP that protects service providers' investments in new services, network convergence and applications by supporting any-to-any connectivity and by enabling integration of existing network nodes in evolving infrastructures. With the Alcatel-Lucent 5078 STP, mobile and fixed service providers gain a cost-effective, redundant and scalable in-house alternative to larger, more costly systems and third-party Signaling System 7 (SS7) wholesalers. They benefit from greater control over their SS7 networks and can...

The Alcatel-Lucent 9100 Multi-Standard Base Station (9100 MBS) offers increased deployment flexibility, better radio performance and highly compact design. The 9100 MB allows service providers to deploy GSM alone or a combination of GSM and UMTS/LTE networks together -- all in the same cabinet.

Compact and modular, the Alcatel-Lucent 9110 Micro Base Station adapts to current and future needs by providing from two to twelve TRXs. A simple software download enables it to support GPRS and EDGE.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9125 Compact Transcoder for mobile networks provides service providers with higher performance, greater flexibility and better voice quality. It delivers total performance that's totally future-proof, all packed into a compact standard rack.

Base station controllers (BSCs) are among the most important elements of a radio network. They are the physical link between the switching center and base stations. They provide control of handovers, frequency use, and signal power control for every mobile user. BSCs need to be able to handle a great number of base stations and therefore their capacity has very important consequences on the cost of network deployments.

The Alcatel-Lucent 9159 Network Performance Optimizer (9159 NPO) is a powerful performance management monitoring and reporting tool for GSM/EDGE radio networks. This product replaces the previous generation of radio-network-engineering tools: 9156 RNO, 9157 LASER and NPA.
