Huawei Provides Tata Teleservices with MSC Pool Boost

Huawei，a leader in providing next-generation telecommunications network solutions for operators around the world, today announced that they have improved the performance, reliability and disaster resilience of the Tata Teleservices network in Mumbai, India by implementing Huawei' s MSC Pool solution. The solution transformed three existing sets of CDMA mobile soft-switches into one MSC Pool without having to make any modifications to other parts of the network. For Tata, a leading telecommunications operator in India, this means that their 1.5 million subscribers in Mumbai are provided with improved service and higher reliability, regardless of where they travel in the metropolitan area.

In addition to gains in reliability, the operator-controllable load balancing addresses the problem of unevenly distributed traffic loads in geographical areas, adjusting the ratio of subscriber quantity to traffic volume between the three MSC. This approach can reduce total network capacity demands by up to 20% and significantly reduce CAPEX.

As part of Huawei' s All-IP convergence strategy, its innovative MSC Pool enables operators to build Safe, Optimized and Value-added core networks. The MSC Pool solution has been put into commercial use by 23 leading operators worldwide, serving more than 100 million subscribers.
