Sprint deploy WiMAX broadband towards 4G

As Sprint continues to rapidly build out its XOHM WiMAX Broadband Network, Nokia Siemens Networks’ Subscriber Data Management (SDM) solution will enable Sprint to offer its customers a higher level of personalized broadband services.

Sprint has chosen Nokia Siemens Networks to implement an innovative subscriber database solution that will simplify operations and provide a more individualized service to enhance the customer experience. The solution, which includes the Apertio One-NDS (Network Directory Server), will enable Sprint to operate a Subscriber Profile System (SPS) based on a single, real-time common subscriber database, eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple databases and reducing administration and cost. Additionally, the capability to efficiently integrate new applications by plugging in extensions to the core data model on short notice without service interruption gives Sprint greater agility to adapt to changing markets.

The platform also will support a host of IP and IMS-based services and applications over the XOHM WiMAX network.

“As Sprint paves the way for 4G, we are pleased they have chosen our one-of-a-kind solution to manage and unify their subscriber data,” said Sue Spradley, Head of North America for Nokia Siemens Networks.
