Motorola Develops Self-Organising LTE Network

Motorola has announced the launch of its Long Term Evolution (LTE) self-organizing network (SON), which automates previously manual steps involved in planning, deploying, optimizing and operating the network. In addition to lowering the cost of planning and deploying LTE, Motorola says that the algorithms and features of the LTE SON solution will help the operator dynamically optimize its network for best performance and make it simpler and easier to manage.

"LTE promises to bring extra capacity and lower cost per bit," said Paul Steinberg, chief architect, wireless infrastructure, Motorola Home & Networks Mobility. "With our advanced SON, Motorola helps operators get the best performance from their network while lowering their operating expenses to deliver true mobile broadband to the masses. Motorola's advanced SON can really make an impact on delivering operational savings over the lifetime of the network while simplifying the move to LTE."

In addition, backhaul and interconnect will be automatically configured, and QoS should be self-established and autonomously optimized.
