Telefónica will be deploying Nokia Centralized RAN and small cells technologies at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia as part of its aim to meet the increasing demand for data and uplink throughput during games.

According to Nokia, its Centralized RAN technology, built on the company’s Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station solution will help Telefónica ease any build-up of network congestion by combining multiple base stations that co-operate with one another to turn harmful interference into useful traffic. Nokia Flexi Zone Small Cells and Nokia Flexi Lite Base Stations enable enhanced capacity and better coverage at hot spots, inside and outside the stadium. In addition, the deployment covers Network planning and optimization services for seamless interworking of all parts. 

Joaquín Mata, Network Technology and Operations Director at Telefónica Spain
Telefónica remains committed to building a cutting-edge network infrastructure in Spain, using innovative solutions that offer outstanding service quality in spite of exceptional circumstances. With Nokia, we will improve mobile broadband performance at Mestalla Stadium so our customers can share content easier.

Agustín Menchén, Telefónica Spain account head for Mobile Networks  at Nokia
Major events impose high demands on mobile operators, but with the right vendor and solutions, it is possible to meet the needs of large numbers of people in small areas. Nokia Centralized RAN will help Telefónica build a denser LTE network to deliver higher capacity and more robust services.
