Brazil’s operator Oi Brasil has selected Nokia Solutions and Networks to supply the infrastructure for its LTE network. In addition to that, NSN will also upgrade the operator’s GSM and 3G networks across the country. 

Under the contract, NSN will transform Oi Brasil’s network in several regions to a Single RAN system based on its Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station for GSM, 3G and LTE. As part of the core network, the company will provide its Liquid Core based Evolved Packet Core platform. In addition, NSN will also deploy its Subscriber Data Management Platform (SDM) including New Technology Home Location Register (NT-HLR) and One-NDS subscriber data management system for a centralized database repository independent of the application used.

The scope of the deal also includes network planning and optimization, systems integration and care services, including hardware and software services.
