<h1>Nokia Base Station Subsystem quality</h1>

<p>All Nokia Base Station Subsystem (BSS) network elements
and their software are planned and produced according to specific quality
standards. Nokia BSS consists of reliable high-quality network elements and
transmission. The high quality of service is improved by efficient supervision
functions, reliable alarm system, automatic recovery, and redundancy functionalities.
In order to run the network effectively, that is, to minimise costs and maximise
the service quality to the mobile subscriber, the operator needs to know certain
characteristics about the performance and the service level of the BSC and
the radio network.</p>

<h2>Documentation</h2>

<p>The quality of Nokia documentation is ensured by several
procedures in its development. In addition to testing, the quality of documentation
is ensured by reviews and inspections. The terminology used in Nokia documentation
is based on the recommendations of ITU-T and the applicable standards of ETSI,
ICE, ISO, and GSM.</p>


<p>Nokia Electronic Documentation (NED) is easy to use and
it includes all the needed software for browsing the documents.</p>

<h2>Operation</h2>

<p>The quality of service, as observed by the mobile subscribers,
is one of the most important areas to successful GSM network operation. Nokia
NetAct helps the operator to detect, for example, service-related problems
by providing the means to analyse measurements dealing with call attempts,
dropped or blocked calls, and handover failure rates in real time.</p>


<p>Nokia NetAct also provides the operator with tools to manage
the quality level of services. With the tools it is possible
to set objectives for the desired level of quality and measure the quality
of service by monitoring real-time data and long-term trends. There are also
tools for planning and implementing corrective actions, so that the operator's
network meets the market requirements.</p>

<h2>Services</h2>

<p>After the network launch, one of the most demanding tasks
is to manage the fast growing and continuously changing network. To maintain
the high quality of service and good network performance under all circumstances,
Nokia Planning Services provide its clients with a comprehensive set of assessment,
analysis, and development services.</p>
