The IWPC workshop on self-organizing networks is in two weeks and we are excited about participating. Most of the people there will be talking about self-organizing networks for 4G LTE, which is all good and well, but we are also working hard on SON for 2G GSM networks.
Why fit a new idea like SON on an older technology like GSM? Because there are still places in the world that need basic 2G service and a lot of those places don’t have access to any technical staff.
