<h2>Equipment</h2>

<p>The stabile, reliable, and high-quality Nokia equipment
reduces operation and maintenance costs. To achieve these characteristics,
the best commercially available components and the latest cutting-edge technology
are used in Nokia equipment. The equipment also goes through a comprehensive
integration and system testing before leaving for the customers.</p>


<p>Quality, reliability, and availability are enhanced in
many ways in Nokia BSS. The DX 200 network elements use 2N or N+1 redundancy
on all critical functional elements. There are also several standard and optional
redundancy possibilities available for the BTSs. In the transmission, network
redundancy can be achieved by loop protection. In addition, the modularity
of the equipment and the use of a hot standby unit in the event of a failure
enhances equipment reliability.</p>


<p>Built-in redundancy functionalities and efficient supervision
functions in the Nokia network elements minimise the time spent in maintenance.
In addition, the reliable network elements and the automatic fault detection
and recovery procedures result in less site visits. As a result, the network
maintenance is more cost-effective.</p>


<p>Nokia equipment also has an accurate alarm generation,
as well as monitoring, statistics, and fault recovery systems. With the aid
of these systems less time is consumed in fault localisation and recovery.</p>
