T-Mobile Updates German Subscriber Database Platforms

T-Mobile Germany has chosen Nokia Siemens Networks to implement a subscriber database solution to simplify its operations. The Nokia Siemens Networks solution for Common Network Subscriber Management, which already supports some 15 million users of T-Mobile's MMS application, replaces T-Mobile's legacy multiple databases with a single common database featuring open interfaces and real-time capabilities.

In the next phase, T-Mobile will replace its legacy Home Location Registers (HLRs) by deploying new next-generation dataless HLR application servers provided by Nokia Siemens Networks.

"We are happy to be working with Nokia Siemens Networks to radically streamline our network and service architecture with its best-of-breed subscriber management system," says Joachim Horn, CTO, T-Mobile. "The deployment of this system is part of our ongoing efforts to redesign our network over the next few years, staring first with multimedia messaging, continuing on with HLRs and other applications to follow."

In addition to the Nokia Siemens Networks dataless Home Location Register, the solution also includes the realtime subscriber database platform provided by Apertio.

Besides implementation of the new system, Nokia Siemens Networks also provides professional services like database management support, subscriber migration, network and application integration, security services and maintenance.T-G
