StarHub selects Nokia Siemens Networks

The first phase of StarHub's LTE network is expected to go live by the end of 2012, covering key business areas. As part of the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will also modernize StarHub's GSM network, helping the operator reduce power consumption generated by network equipment by up to 50%.

"We are constantly looking at ways to provide our subscribers the greatest mobile broadband experience, and Nokia Siemens Networks has the best solutions for it. With the launch of LTE, we will be able to increase our data capacity and offer improved speeds. We have also been looking to modernize our GSM network for some time and with the Nokia Siemens Networks Single RAN platform, we'll be able to do that efficiently while building the LTE network," said Neil Montefiore, Chief Executive Officer, StarHub.

"With spectrum being a scarce resource, it needs to be optimally utilized. The increasing use of smartphones and data hungry applications is putting a huge pressure on existing spectrum making refarming a viable option for operators. By allocating existing GSM spectrum to LTE, StarHub can cost-efficiently offer 4G mobile broadband services to its customers," added Paul Tyler, Head, Asia-Pacific region, Nokia Siemens Networks.

Furthermore, Nokia Siemens Networks will also upgrade its NetAct network management system to enable a consolidated and effective monitoring, management and optimization of StarHub's LTE and GSM networks.
