Our goal is to create value for customers by providing solutions tailored to their specific needs. We deliver cross-network solutions and services for a converging world in which the traditional boundaries between wireless and fixed line communications are blurring. For example, we’re currently expanding mobile, fixed line and intelligent networks on a common platform for Bharti Airtel, India’s leading private communications company.

Optical networks are the backbone of advanced telecommunications.
We aim to offer end-to-end solutions for public-sector and corporate customers. Working closely with a number of Siemens Groups, we bundle highly reliable and secure communications technologies to create complete, customer-specific solutions. Collaborating with Siemens Transportation Systems, for example, we’ve developed an end-to-end communications solution for the railway industry. We’ve also won a contract to supply a GSM-R wireless communications system for the world's longest high-speed rail link which connects the Chinese cities of Hefei and Nanjing.
Our innovations help customers increase profitability and cut costs. But our goal is not only to maximize customer value. We’re also committed to reducing resource consumption and enhancing the energy efficiency of our products and production processes throughout the product lifecycle. For instance, we’re making the transport of our products more ecofriendly by reducing their weight and size. We take back equipment in order to recycle materials or ensure their ecofriendly disposal. Through remote network planning, optimization, management and maintenance, we're reducing employee travel. Our growing use of statistical databases is making on-site tests increasingly unnecessary. We’re cutting the power consumption of our networks during off-peak periods and optimizing battery back-up times. And we’re mitigating the environmental impact of our products even further by reducing the number of base station sites and antenna masts in operation.
