SK Telecom, Nokia Siemens Networks Collaborate on Liquid Applications
Published on:
South Korea's SK Telecom is evaluating Nokia Siemens Networks' newly launched Liquid Applications in its LTE network.
As part of this collaboration, SK Telecom will evaluate Nokia Siemens Networks' newly launched Radio Applications Cloud Server (RACS), which enables Liquid Applications, in the first half of 2013. Liquid Applications adds functionality to base stations allowing them to act as content servers closer to the end-user and avoiding backhaul traffic.
The operator is focusing on realizing Service-Aware RAN (radio access network) as part of its evolution toward an upgraded network. Unlike traditional base stations that essentially only played the role of a communication pipe, Service-Aware RAN is an intelligent base station that provides customers with a unique mobile experience through a wide variety of customized services. Based on the diverse features of intelligent base stations such as localized processing, storage and access to real-time radio and network data, the operator expects to develop services and applications that deliver a contextualized and personalized experience to customers.
"Telecom providers are realizing that optimized transmission of data alone can no longer guarantee success in the market," said Dr Choi Jin-sung, Executive Vice President and Head of ICT R&D Division at SK Telecom. "SK Telecom will work closely with Nokia Siemens Networks to bring innovative changes to people's lives by developing and applying new network technologies."
