Nokia Siemens Networks Launches "Liquid Net"

Nokia Siemens Networks today announced the launch of  Liquid Net a "new way to deliver broadband".
 

Liquid Net builds on the principles of Nokia Siemens Networks Liquid Radio architecture3.

It adds Liquid Core and Liquid Transport functionality to the network which can be implemented either separately in multi vendor environments or in concert across an operator’s entire network to bring the full benefits of Liquid Net to bear.

Liquid Net will now allow operator to set up its network to self-adapt to meet capacity and coverage requirements based on demand. The new approach also aims to significantly improve the quality of broadband services worldwide.

Nokia Siemens Networks has created Liquid Net2, to free-up unused capacity and allocate it instantly across the whole network wherever and whenever it is needed.

Liquid Net uses automated, self-adapting broadband optimization to deliver services and content to ensure the best customer experience by always being aware of the network’s operational status and the services being consumed.

In addition, Liquid Net channels traffic in the transport network along the path of least resistance and lowest cost between operator sites.

Nokia, Siemens stumble in latest telecom venture hurdle

Nokia and Siemens are moving to restructure a joint venture in telecommunications networking equipment after failing to acquire a controlling stake in it.

Telecom giant Nokia and conglomerate Siemens are moving to restructure a joint venture in telecom networking equipment after failing to acquire a controlling stake in it.

The Wall Street Journal reports that four-year-old Nokia Siemens Networks, which is unprofitable and lost almost $1 billion last year, may instead require the infusion of more cash by both companies.

A quick play-by-play:
One private-equity group, which included Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and TPG Capital, dropped out of the auction awhile back. 
 
Attempts to sell a controlling stake to a consortium that includes Gores Group and Platinum Equity are stalling. 
 
Nokia Siemens seems wary of striking a deal because the latter firms are known for investing in distressed assets.

It’s an even 50-50 split in the venture between Nokia and Siemens, but the former has four of the seven board seats.

The issue? The $3 billion business has been an albatross on Nokia’s back for the better part of a year, adding to its known smartphone woes. Despite solid revenue figures for three straight quarters, the venture has posted significant operating losses – €686 million last year, €1.6 billion the year prior.

It’s also facing considerable competition from Ericsson. Meanwhile, an impatient Siemens is waiting in the wings and could very well take control of the venture to get things moving.
