TST (Taiwan Star Telecom) has chosen Nokia’s end-to-end (E2E) solution to expand the coverage and capacity of its LTE network to support subscriber growth. The new solution will also enable TST to offer narrowband Internet of Things (IoT) services, as well as prepare TST to migrate to 5G services in the future. The expansion will enhance network quality and improve the user experience. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Nokia 5G-ready solutions selected by TST include:
The AirScale eNodeB solution, which introduces the Nokia AirScale Remote Radio Head (RRH). This will help TST to cost-effectively create the capacity they need with more flexible cell sizes. The diverse deployment options include macro, mini-macro and small cells for dense urban spots, grey/white spots, indoor and stadium coverage.
The 7750 Mobile Gateway (MG) and Cloud Mobility Manager (CMM) for expansion of the packet core.
The 7750 Service Router for IP backbone expansion, due to its reliability, high capacity, and 5G compatibility.
The Smart Plan Suite (SPS), which provides a full policy and charging solution and paves the way for 5G monetization.

You just read about Nokia. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Elenion Technologies built Silicon photonics and coherent optical modules. What became of it?
Elenion Technologies brought Silicon photonics and coherent optical modules to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nokia. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Nokia today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
