Customers of Latvia’s largest mobile operator can now enjoy ultra-fast broadband with speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps) for accessing services, including reliable video streaming, real-time gaming, and movies-on-demand. Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT) has commissioned Nokia Siemens Networks to deploy an LTE network in the 1800 MHz spectrum band with its end-to-end LTE solution including radio access equipment and evolved packet core.

“With the increased adoption of smart devices, customers expect the best communications experience with super fast broadband connectivity, and that’s what LTE offers,” said Juris Binde, president of Latvijas Mobilais Telefons.

“The launch of 4G services in Latvia is a milestone as it will bring new opportunities for both LMT’s individual and enterprise customers,” added Jan Lindgren, head of TeliaSonera global account team at Nokia Siemens Networks. “This development will help the operator play a vital role in the growth of the Latvian telecom market.”

The LTE radio network is based on NSN’s Flexi Multiradio Base Station, and the company also supplied its Evolved Packet Core (EPC), allowing the operator to manage the expected increase in data traffic. LMT has been able to optimally manage its network, especially the newly introduced EPC and LTE radio networks with NSN’s enhanced NetAct network management system.
