Automatic CP Resource Allocation Initial Automatic Resource Allocation (GSM&UMTS)
BSC6910 allocates automatically processing resources when adding a NodeB, BTS, Cell or Signaling link such as SCTP. No manual configuration required.
HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD. HISILICON SEMICONDUCTOR
Automatic Resource Reallocation (UMTS Only)
When adding more boards to expand capacity or some NodeB or Cell becoming hot spots, the system will adjust the distribution of NodeB/Cell in the EGPUa boards.

BSC6910
According to Current Analysis: “Huawei’s 3GPP Controller is a leader in the marketplace.” “Huawei’s proactive innovations make a compelling argument for the potency of Huawei’s solutions”.
RNC in Pool Load sharing were launched in Italy TI
July, 2014, “one BSC6910 + Two BSC6900“ RNC in POOL were launched successfully in Italy TI. New BSC6910 and RNC in POOL load sharing solution bring a result of the CPU load down from a high load 58% to 49% , This is a new solution for RNC expansion without split . Next , TI would make more RNC in POOL in TI networks, and RNC in POOL Node Redundancy would be used too. Background Brief: Telecom Italia, TIM, TIM Brasil, Olivetti, Telecom Italia Sparkle are the main brands of Telecom Italia Group who is the one of biggest operator of Italy. New RNC 1 RNC 2
RNC in POOL were launched in Manx Telecom July, 2014, two BSC6910 & RNC in POOL were launched successfully in Manx Telecom, Britain. BSC6910 and RNC in POOL Node Redundancy solution features“10s” disaster recovery after a RNC failure, whereas the traditional solution needs at least 3~5 hours 。 RNC in POOL solution are recommended global. More than 10 operators ordered this solution , for example T-Mobile, VDF , China Unicom and other big operators would used later. Background Brief: Manx Telecom is the No.1 operators of Isle of Man.
