Pre-Conference Workshop – 17th October 2011
SON Today - Key Learnings from Different Networks
Led by: Nokia Siemens Networks

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:

With the roll out of LTE, networks are becoming invariably more complex with three generations of technology (2G, 3G and LTE) co-existing. Yet adding a network layer doesn’t necessarily mean adding another layer of cost. The introduction of the self-organizing network (SON), which pulls together elements such as Automated Neighbour Relations, Load Balancing and network optimization, is automating a large number of everyday tasks, making them easily repeatable and more quickly implemented. This workshop will provide insights into SON today and learnings from its deployment in different networks.

• View live network simulations featuring technical deep dives
• SON Business Impact Analysis using Use Case examples
