TeliaSonera Finland and Nokia Siemens Networks have signed a contract to create a 3G radio network on the 900 MHz frequency. The new network will extend TeliaSonera Finland's 3G coverage and will enable mobile broadband services in the remote areas of the country and help further increase service quality in bigger cities.
Nokia Siemens Networks will provide a full WCDMA/HSPA 900 radio network system to TeliaSonera Finland, including its energy-efficient Flexi base stations and high capacity RNC 2600 radio network controllers. The new network will support fixed-mobile migration in the rural areas and save operational costs for the operator.
"Our customers demand high-speed high quality 3G service wherever they are. Nokia Siemens Networks' WCDMA/HSPA 900 solution will enable us to extend 3G coverage to the more remote areas of the country in a cost-effective way, extending the latest mobile broadband services to a growing number of customers," said Esa Rautalinko, CEO, TeliaSonera Finland.
"Our cooperation with TeliaSonera goes back a long way. We are extremely happy for this great opportunity to provide additional quality and coverage with state-of-the-art technology to TeliaSonera Finland and its customers," says Jan Lindgren, Head of TeliaSonera Customer Team, Nokia Siemens Networks.
