Highlights

architecture and platform, StarHubs

UTRAN network is weak in support of IP

and HSDPA technology and its network

in-service performance is unsatisfactory,

such as sleeping cells/blocked cells. Any

upgrade of these facilities would be

very costly and the investment involved

would be unrecoverable. After in-depth

deliberation, StarHub chose Huawei as

its sole UTRAN supplier to replace the

existing unsatisfactory vendor. StarHub

launches the 7.2 Mb/s HSDPA network

in 2007.

" We have been impressed by Huaweis 3G technology roadmap, especially

their ability to deliver next-generation wireless applications and services quickly.

We are confdent that Huaweis solutions will help us deliver an enhanced 3G

experience to our customers. "

Quick and cost-effective

delivery

It was vital for StarHub to launch the

HSDPA service at the promised time

once it had been announced. Since

Huaweis ultra-compact, standard-

design BBUs do not require special

equipment rooms, StarHub was able

to easily adapt them for GSM cabinet

usage, or could simply install them in

passageways, staircases, basements,

or in a variety of other small spaces. It

signicantly reduces operators CAPEX

and OPEX because of its small size,

low power consumption, and excellent

coverage capability.

Utilize the existing IPbackbone to achieve savingsof transmission

HSDPA services can consume much of

the transmission bandwidth of base

stations. So, StarHub plans to make full

use of its existing broadband networkresources as it continues to expand

its new 3G network. In following this

road, StarHub will leverage Huawei

s Iub IP transmission solution, ready

for deployment one year ahead of the

competition.

Huaweis distributed Node B enables IP

transmission and offers a wide range

of tailored Iub IP transmission solutions

to suit different IP RAN networking

applications. By adopting this solution,StarHub can easily save operators

between 4090% on transmission costs.

The uBro supplies standard

UMTS access with at

architecture and IP

transmission.

As most data applied indoor, operators,

deploying Huaweis uBro solution and

June 2007, more than 1,000 sites

are on the air.

February 2007, StarHub selects

Huaweis HSPA solution to upgrade

its 3G mobile network in Singapore.

Milestones

the compact Femtocell equipments,

offer users the standard indoor UMTSaccess which making users enjoying

better indoor coverage and avoid

blinds spots without terminal change.

Huaweis Femtocell is an absolute plug

& play equipment which means auto

conguration and easy distribution.

Proting from mature IP technologies,

Huaweis uBro solution can ensure

security of telecom level and QoS, and

smooth migrate to future by at IP

network architecture.
