Sprint Selects Nokia Siemens Networks to Deploy Its Subscriber Data Management
Solution for Sprint's WiMAX Broadband Network Services
As Sprint continues to rapidly build out its XOHM WiMAX Broadband Network,
Nokia Siemens Networks' Subscriber Data Management (SDM) solution will enable
Sprint to offer its customers a higher level of personalized broadband
services.

IRVING, Texas and HERNDON, Va., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Sprint has chosen
Nokia Siemens Networks to implement an innovative subscriber database solution
that will simplify operations and provide a more individualized service to
enhance the customer experience. The solution, which includes the Apertio
One-NDS (Network Directory Server), will enable Sprint to operate a Subscriber
Profile System (SPS) based on a single, real-time common subscriber database,
eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple databases and reducing
administration and cost. Additionally, the capability to efficiently integrate
new applications by plugging in extensions to the core data model on short
notice without service interruption gives Sprint greater agility to adapt to
changing markets.
