Asiacell carries out major network optimization with Nokia boosting subscriber experience significantly in Baghdad
Asiacell uses Nokia’s end-to-end network optimization services for the multi-vendor network to improve network performance
Baghdad – Iraq: Asiacell is carrying out optimization of the entire multi-vendor network including radio access network (RAN), IP, transmission and core networks. It has commissioned Nokia for this major project to be completed later this year. The ongoing network optimization has already resulted in significant improvement in the network performance. Once the project is completed, Asiacell’s subscribers in the city of Baghdad will be able to enjoy an overall superior network experience and better data throughput.
As part of the project, Nokia assesses and fine tunes the network performance parameters, and tests new features leading to a significant improvement in customer experience.
Improved network performance will allow Asiacell to improve customer loyalty and increase its appeal among new potential subscribers. Besides, the operator will be able to better utilize the network resources. Asiacell subscribers in Baghdad have already started experiencing an improvement in the speed and overall quality of services over the last month.
“This is a timely and crucial project for us. It not only improves the quality of services for the subscribers, but also allows us to pave the way for introducing 4G technology by assessing potential network limitations and conveying rectifications. Further, we will be able to differentiate our services based on enhanced quality of services. Nokia’s proven expertise and position as a global technology and professional services leader will help us provide world-class network experience to our subscribers,” says Amer Sunna, Chief Executive Officer, Asiacell.
“We are thrilled to work with Asiacell to help them improve the network experience of its subscribers in the crucial Baghdad region. We are confident that end-to-end optimization of this multi-vendor network will play a key role in enabling Asiacell in offering the best-in-class 4G services soon,” Says Danny Atme, head of Growth – Middle East at Nokia.
Nokia has proven track record on end-to-end network optimization capabilities and provides operators with the most comprehensive approach for optimising their radio access, transport, and core networks and enhancing the data experience for subscribers. The company is the first to apply predictive analytics to network planning and optimization for high-bandwidth applications, allowing operators to uncover real insight into their network and benefit from cost and operational efficiencies now and in the future.
