Nokia Deploys AVA AI Software Nokia Deploys AVA AI Software To Help NTT DOCOMO Enhance 5G Network PlanningNokia AI RF capacity planning software can predict RF capacityNokia announced
that it has deployedits Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Radio Frequency (RF) capacity planning software for NTT DOCOMO Inc. to help the Japanese operator efficientlyroll out its 5G network and to speedup radio frequency planning.
The AI RF capacity planning solution is part of Nokia’s AVA* software offering that delivers “intelligence everywhere.”It was customized based on DOCOMO’s requirements andcan predict RF capacity of 4G cells from BTS performance data; and simulate the best candidate locations of 5G cell and RAN hardware to meet required area capacity. The software supports DOCOMO’s ongoing work to achieve a clearer understanding of where its network is starting to get congested and where to plan network upgrades to prevent capacity bottlenecks. YoshitakaHiramoto, Director of RAN department at NTT DOCOMO, said:“We are striving to create new values and contribute to the resolution of social issues through communication technology to make our customers' lives more convenient and prosperous. To achieve this, efficient network construction is essential, and we expect incorporating Nokia's AI driven RF capacity planning software into our network capacity design work will help us to realize the construction of efficient networks.” John Lancaster-Lennox, Head of Market Unit Japan at Nokia, said: “Placing a 5G cell in the best location can be just as important as the technology itself. AVA’s AI driven capacity planning software gives DOCOMO a critical tool for better understandingnetwork capacity levels in order togive its customers an even better 5G experience.” Source: Nokia media announcement | |
