Flexi Zone – What’s the Industry Saying? NSN’s Flexi Zone is definitely the most ambitious hetnet proposal we’ve seen coming out of Mobile World Congress so far.... .... it has huge implications for the heterogeneous networks (or het-nets) of the future Current Analysis Flexi Zone offers a compellingly holistic view of small cells that will set a standard for competitors Flexi Zone, combining a laundry list of buzzwords (i.e., SON, small cells, WiFi, and backhaul) in one compelling, cohesive package
Rethink Wireless
One of the highlights of the MWC announcements is the unveiling of its most ambitious approach yet to the mobile RAN, called Flexi Zone.
NSN’s Flexi Zone is an ambitious and groundbreaking solution for the densification of macro networks.” ABI Research compared Flexi Zone to ALU’s lightRadio, Ericsson’s HetNet portfolio, and Huawei’s AtomCell. His commentary cites two reasons why the Flexi Zone is superior to competition: 1) “Flexi Zone is unique in being able to distribute baseband computing resources intelligently and based on demand.” 2) “NSN has tackled backhaul by using a novel zone architecture…”
Flexi Zone [....] is by far the most innovative approach taken by any of the tier one OEMs 27 04/07/2014 Confidential
