The agreement will build a network that is ready to meet future consumer demands,” says Henrik Clausen, chief executive officer for Telenor in Denmark.

Starent Networks will be providing Telenor Denmark with the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) for the 2G and 3G/UMTS networks and Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving Gateway (SGW) and Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) for the 4G/LTE network on the ST series platform.
