Symena, a leader automatic cell planning and optimization technologies across the network life cycle from planning to SON, announced today that it has joined the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance (NGMN), a global initiative founded by the world’s top mobile operators and dedicated to the ongoing development of innovative technology and standardization guidelines for next generation of mobile networks.

The NGMN Alliance is a forum to share, assess, and drive aspects of mobile broadband technologies focusing on LTE and its evolution. The vision of the NGMN Alliance is to provide a platform for innovation by moving towards one integrated network for the seamless introduction of mobile broadband services. In addition, this network will coexist with other networks while it facilitates smooth migration from, and is capable of replacing, existing networks.

“We are pleased to announce our participation in the NGMN Alliance.  We look forward to making innovative contributions to the next generation of mobile wireless networks,” said Dr Thomas Neubauer, Managing Director of Symena.  “In many respects NGMN is setting the pace of innovation particularly where it comes to SON for LTE and other standards.  Our participation in the Alliance will assist us in understanding the needs of the world’s leading operators.”

“We are delighted to welcome Symena as partner of NGMN.  Symena is one of a growing number of sponsors in the category of ‘small and entrepreneurial enterprises.’  We look forward to their active participation in the Alliance’s programs,” said Dr. Peter Meissner, Operating Officer of NGMN Ltd.
