Video Over QCI2 with Intra-QoS Loading - Latency
QoS features are already fully
implemented in ALU product, QCI class
management validated in real network
enables delivering high quality VoLTE and
Video and preserving excellent end user
experience (< 20ms Latency for Video)
Delivering the most field-hardened, highest performing LTE system in the world

ALCATEL-LUCENT VS COMPETITION IN LTE NETWORKS
Lower UE Tx power, reducing noise
rise and preserving battery life
Better setup times lead to better
end user experience
Alcatel-Lucent superior scheduler implementation provides end user and sector
throughput benefit for Uplink and Downlink, optimized for multi-users:
