Nokia Siemens boosts China Mobile IP networks security

With customer demand for converged services increasing each day, IP networks are emerging as the preferred platform. However, traditional IT security solutions are insufficient to address the challenges that come with an all IP network, and this posed a significant challenge for operators.

Nokia Siemens has worked closely with Jiangsu Mobile to understand and analyze its network security challenges and delivered a tailor-made solution which combines project management, network structure design, system integration and operation and maintenance to address the unique security challenges of communications networks.

In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks also provided Jiangsu Mobile with a security evaluation tool based on international standards, which will help the operator measure the effectiveness of its security system, and evaluate the return on its security investment.

With improved network security, end users will have access to higher-quality unbroken service with reduced risk of hacker attacks. Jiangsu Mobile will also benefit from increased network uptime, and reduced OPEX.

Steven Shaw, head of Service for Nokia Siemens Networks Greater China region commented, "Our strong legacy in the telecom industry, our understanding of consumer access trends and our innovative services model helped us go beyond IT and IP layer security, to address security challenges across the communication network—thus enabling higher security, and better service."
