Alcatel-Lucent 9370 RNC
Best in class Node B support combined with strong footprint efficiencies continue to give Alcatel-Lucent a claim to a strong RNC offer. The lack of a roadmap plan for integrated GSM/UMTS support could leave some operators disappointed. (7/29/2009)

Ericsson RNC 3820
Given the weak performance of its RNC 3810, a successor RNC for Ericsson was inevitable. The 3820 fills this role, though still needs to be market proven and could be trumped by the upcoming Evo Controller 8000. (7/29/2009)

Huawei BSC6900 UMTS
Huawei’s new RNC promises lots of capacity and throughput. Putting aside the imminent arrival of dual-mode GSM/UMTS operations, the flexibility of data capacity allocation and form factor issues (size and rear access) weigh heavily on it. (7/29/2009)

Nokia Siemens Networks WCDMA RNC2600
With strong capacity in an efficient footprint, NSN’s RNC2600 is a compelling offer. The upcoming mcRNC, however, puts customers in an awkward positioning of moving on the proven controller now or waiting for something much better next year. (7/29/2009)

- Buying Criteria
- Capacity and Expandability
- Reflects the number of Node B base stations that are supported by a single Radio Network Controller (RNC), the range of expansion options, call capacity, and packet data capacity.
- Density and Footprint
- Reflects the economic impact of a Radio Network Controller (RNC) solution in terms of space requirements and efficiency. The size of the unit, floor space footprint, and installed height factor in the consideration. In addition, the density of the solution is evaluated by examining the total number of Erlangs supported for the space volume required.
- Core Network Flexibility
- Backhaul network flexibility evaluates types of transmission options connectivity to the Radio Network Controller (RNC) as well as to the MSC. The number and types of different interfaces are evaluated along with architectural strengths and weaknesses.
