Algérie Télécom launches LTE commercially over NSN network

Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN) has announced deploying North Africa’s first commercial LTE network in Algeria for the state-owned operator, Algérie Télécom.

Under the contract, NSN provided its Single RAN Advanced solution based on its high-capacity, scalable Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station for the majority of the LTE network. In addition, it deployed its cloud-ready NetAct for efficient network management across technologies. The company’s comprehensive services including network planning and optimisation, network implementation, and care services such as hardware and software services ensured the speedy and smooth rollout. In addition, NSN provided a security solution, which included a solution from Juniper Networks, in order to protect both the operator’s network assets and end users’ privacy.

NSN counts 141 LTE and TD-LTE network references worldwide.
