Mobile softswitches are todays most efficient way to handle mobile voice. They offer several advantages. They lower the running costs of a network, cutting operational expenditure (OPEX) up to 70 percent by reducing the number of sites, as well as transmission bandwidth requirements. They also enable communications service providers (CSP) to invest now in systems that can be evolved easily and cost-effectively to meet changing network requirements in the future. Efficient new radio technologies such as High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) are paving the way for Voice over IP (VoIP) in mobile networks, and with the arrival of Long Term Evolution (LTE), which is a full Internet Protocol (IP) technology, circuit switched voice will gradually be replaced. However, the co-existence of both technologies will be a reality for some time to come. With Nokia Siemens Networks mobile softswitch, the MSC Server System (MSS), CSPs can build a platform that will support the new opportunities offered by VoIP and multimedia. They can also improve efficiency immediately, reaping the significant OPEX savings that mobile softswitching brings. And in the longer term, CSPs can eliminate the need for huge additional investments as services evolve in the future.

Built-in resilience
Our mobile softswitches offer robust performance based on state-of-the-art processing capacity that is continuously being improved, as well as scalable system architecture and well-proven smooth overload handling capability. High capacity is not enough on its own. It must be counterbalanced with carrier grade resiliency at the element, system and network levels. We have taken all these aspects into account, playing our part in helping our customers offer the highest reliability services. With our MSS, system performance does not degrade even when all subscribers have a prepaid Intelligent Network (IN) service. It also offers high availability, as a result of multiple layers of resilience that extend from the element level right up to disaster recovery capabilities throughout the network.

that even the existing circuit switched voice roaming ecosystem is fully re-usable for LTE voice and can ensure smooth service continuity in any network environment. The new functionality is LTE Access Controller (LAC), which is part of MSS/NVS system. LAC provides policy control and Quality of Service (QoS) to LTE access, which are needed for carrier grade voice services. Investments in Fast Track VoLTE are fully re-usable when upgrading network architecture to IMS, thus reducing capital expenditure (CAPEX) in the long term. The transition from Fast Track to IMS based VoLTE architecture is supported, meaning the entire investment in the Fast Track solution is re-used and transferred into the IMS architecture. One Step VoLTE For CSPs with existing IMS deployment, the Nokia Siemens Networks One Step VoLTE solution is the most beneficial network architecture, allowing IMS and MSS/NVS to complement each other in the network. Moving to LTE from an existing IMS deployment, CSPs can smoothly introduce One Step VoLTE by adding VoIP to existing mobile user base. Furthermore, CSPs with no IMS environment can immediately introduce One Step VoLTE by introducing IMS and VoLTE at the same time.
Opening up
Hardware platform The Nokia Siemens Networks mobile softswitching system is based on an open software architecture supporting a common hardware platform. This allows CSPs to achieve lower costs by taking advantage of the latest hardware developments, lower power consumption and higher density. With other related network elements based on the same hardware, operational and logistical costs can be kept as low as possible. IT environment MSS/NVS software enables the gluing together of the mobile softswitching system with IT environments. This allows CSPs to benefit from the wide variety of applications available in the web environment and the ability to use assets across mobile and IP domains. Open interface is based on SOAP/ XML and further allows the vertical integration of the mobile softswitching system into business processes (for example a user can receive an SMS notifying when the postman is nearby and able to deliver mail). To ensure security, the interface is based on the Secure Telecom Asset Exposure (STAE) layer which resides between network elements and third party applications. Connecting the mobile softswitching system with IT allows CSPs to open new business fields towards third party applications and to further differentiate from their competition by offering new services and integration capabilities.
