 "Nokia Siemens Networks To Deploy Andrew RF Aluminum Cables In India")
Communications enabler Nokia Siemens Networks’ vision of five billion people connected by 2015 involves smart connectivity, an innovative concept that will provide powerful solutions for heterogeneous networks.
To deliver on this vision, Nokia Siemens Networks has appointed Andrew, the CommScope division that is a global player in communications products and systems, to supply its aluminum radio frequency (RF) transmission line cable in India.
The deployment of Andrew’s HELIAX FXL aluminum cable and related products is part of Nokia Siemens Networks’ focus on innovation, in support of a significant wireless network expansion in the Indian market. Andrew was chosen in part for its site-kitting capabilities and its ability to ship directly from its Goa manufacturing facility.
“We are actively seeking innovative ways to help our customers increase network efficiency and improve operational costs,” said Michael Kuehner, head of India sub-region, Nokia Siemens Networks. “We chose HELIAX FXL aluminum cables for this project for its ability to achieve these benefits, and Andrew because of its legacy and track record in cable solutions.”
HELIAX FXL aluminum cables are easy to install, given their flexible properties that allow for greater bending and minimise tower loading. The cables are also environmentally friendly and ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant—making them more efficient to recycle—and offer a more stable raw material cost.
Furthermore, the patented micro-cell dielectric technology and triple-bonded construction of HELIAX FXL cables reduces the possibility of water ingress, which is believed to be the single biggest reason for cable failure and interruption of site service. These innovations all add up to lower life cycle costs for operators, while ensuring that network performance is at optimum levels.
HELIAX FXL is part of the new HELIAX 2.0 family of wireless transmission line systems from Andrew. Its lightweight aluminum outer conductor is made to exacting specifications that provide the conformability and flexibility necessary for demanding installations without sacrificing electrical, mechanical or environmental performance. HELIAX FXL has a smoothwall design that enhances proper first-time connectorisation. The smoothwall design has a triple-bonded architecture with a closed microcell foam dielectric that is nearly watertight once the EZfit connectors are properly installed.
