Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) has come up with a new Dynamic Frequency and Channel Allocation (DFCA) feature based solution that promises to enable GSM service providers derive more from the limited spectrum and thereby improve on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters.

According to NSN the solution will particularly come in handy in growing mobile services markets such as India where millions of new subscribers are added daily but the spectrum at disposable with operators has remained the same for years.

“DFCA has immense potential to help operators address the challenge of ever increasing voice and data traffic,” said Prashant Agnihotri, head of GSM/EDGE product management, Nokia Siemens Networks. “It helps operators squeeze voice calls into less bandwidth, so it can be alternatively used for data, either through Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) or by re-farming the spectrum to Wideband Code Division Multiple Access/Long Term Evolution (WCDMA/LTE). It brings a substantial increase for operators in terms of potential earnings per base station site.”
