Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa Sp. z o.o. (PTC), today announced it has concluded the selection process of a vendor who will supply equipment for the development of its third generation mobile network.

Several months of technical, organisational and economic analysis led to the appointment of Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group (Siemens mobile) as the supplier of advanced UMTS technology, which will initially be implemented in the Warsaw area. Similar procedures will be applied in the future to choose suppliers for network development in other cities.

PTC operates Poland's largest wireless network. It is the only Polish operator to have presented ready
solutions for third generation mobile telephony already in 2001 and 2002, when it demonstrated a
range of UMTS capabilities, starting with voice transmission through live video broadcast.
