TeliaSonera has signed a contract with Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) for the full upgrade of its existing Finnish GSM and 3G network and roll out of LTE services. Under the terms of the two-year deal, NSN will provide its Flexi Multiradio Base Stations and NetAct network management system for the full radio network modernisation. TeliaSonera already provides LTE services in the central part of Helsinki.
Under the two-year agreement, Nokia Siemens Networks will modernize
TeliaSonera Finland’s existing GSM and 3G networks, and roll out new
LTE services. TeliaSonera was the first operator in the world to
commercially launch 4G services − now its customers in the central part
of Helsinki can enjoy super-fast mobile broadband services, thanks to
Nokia Siemens Networks’ 4G/LTE radio equipment.
"Our first and foremost focus is on constantly improving the
quality, speed and coverage of our mobile networks for our customers.
Our current 4G services rollout in Helsinki is in line with this
objective,” said Claes Nycander, CTO and SVP of Mobility Services at
TeliaSonera. “We have selected Nokia Siemens Networks to fully
modernize our existing radio networks, and roll out 2G, 3G and 4G
services. This will allow us to ensure the best end-user experience
while enabling us to be the leader in services and technology.”
“TeliaSonera’s first 4G services rollout globally has witnessed a
huge success, generating great interest among users globally. We are
excited to continue our partnership with the operator for subsequent 4G
network launches and network modernization,” said Jan Lindgren, head
of TeliaSonera global account team at Nokia Siemens Networks. “With our
industry-leading technology and fast network rollout capabilities,
this will significantly improve network quality and increase data
speeds for mobile broadband users.” Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will provide its award-winning Flexi Multiradio Base Stations and NetAct network management system for the network modernization. About Nokia Siemens Networks
