August 20, 2008

 

 

 

Nokia’s Services & Software unit grows and focuses its efforts

 

Continued growth in investments in key Internet services areas

 

Espoo, Finland – Nokia’s Services & Software unit today announced plans to refine parts of its global research and development activities. While Nokia continues to grow its investments in consumer Internet services, the unit plans to integrate some of our content delivery services into a single service to create a better experience for consumers and to continue increasing investments into key initiatives. Nokia’s Internet services strategy continues unchanged with a focus on key service areas such as music, games, messaging and location based services.

 

Nokia has started today relevant local employee consultations to discuss these plans. These plans concern approximately 200 employees – approximately half in Finland - working in the Services and Software unit. The aim is to find alternative solutions and work for as many employees as possible within Nokia, at which the company has a good track record from previous years.

 

“This year we plan to hire more people into the Services & Software unit than the number of affected employees, so we expect that many employees will be able to transition to new jobs within Nokia,” said Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President, Services & Software. “We have made great progress with the initial offering this year and I see great potential going forward as we bring context aware Internet services to people’s pockets. These changes will strengthen our offerings and enable us to accelerate the delivery of new Internet experiences to market.”

Press Release

Jakarta, Indonesia - 4 August, 2008

 

Indosat builds for growth with future-proof mobile network solution

 

Softswitch from Nokia Siemens Networks delivers flexible capacity, efficiency and high-value service applications

 

Indosat, Indonesia’s leading communications services provider, has responded to unprecedented subscriber growth in its mobile network with the deployment of a mobile softswitching solution that will allow it to meet future capacity demands and offer customers reliability and added-value services.

 

In response to the growth, Indosat has taken a first step towards an all-IP environment with the deployment of Nokia Siemens Networks’ mobile softswitch solution that will also expand network coverage and capacity, and ensure optimal network quality.

 

Indonesia’s low mobile penetration offers Indosat tremendous potential for further subscriber growth. To that end, Indosat’s selection of a mobile softswitching solution brings additional benefits such as the ability to widen network coverage, flexible capacity management, utilize IP backhaul, and create a call-prioritization feature for high value customers.

 

Johnny Swandi Sjam, President Director of Indosat said: “Indosat acknowledges and continuously strives to address the challenge of improving our services for our loyal customers. We believe that with Nokia Siemens Networks, renowned for their efficient and reliable solutions, as our partner, we can meet this challenge. Thus, we are able to provide complete communications solutions to our customers and ultimately retain Indosat’s leadership in the market.”

 

Arjun Trivedi, Head of sub-region Indonesia for Nokia Siemens Networks, said: “The Indonesian telecommunications market is seeing tremendous traffic growth. Our future-proof technology is designed to meet a demanding mobile environment as users become more data-hungry. Our reliability, combined with a best-in-class services capability, will allow Indosat to meet market demand and work towards an all-IP environment – the ideal platform for today and tomorrow.”

 

To ensure network efficiency and stability, Nokia Siemens Networks will also provide a broad range of services including replacement and relocation of old equipment, network design, new equipment implementation and project management as well as training and maintenance for all products and solutions included in the deal.

 

Nokia Siemens Networks has developed a strong track in the supply of mobile softswitching supplier worldwide, with close to 200 customers for its mobile softswitching and over 120 live networks. The softswitching contract extension deal cements Nokia Siemens Networks’ position as Indosat’s leading infrastructure vendor.

 

Indosat continues to monitor, control, analyze and manage their services and network with the Nokia Siemens Networks multi-technology service and network management solutions.

Press Release

London, U.K. / Espoo, Finland – August 27, 2008

 

UK’s largest 3G mobile network integration appoints technology partner

 

Mobile Broadband Network Ltd. (MBNL), the network collaboration joint-venture between T-Mobile UK and 3 UK, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks as technology partner for 3G network integration. Nokia Siemens Networks will provide a network consolidation solution, bringing environmental benefits, cost savings to the operators and improvements for customers.

 

Nokia Siemens Networks has been selected as the 3G radio network infrastructure supplier for the consolidation of the two operators’ 3G radio access network infrastructure under MBNL, in the process creating the UK’s most extensive 3G network providing near complete population coverage by the end of 2009.

 

The contract has been awarded by MBNL, the 50:50 joint venture formed at the beginning of 2008 between 3 and T-Mobile UK to supervise the creation and operation of the joint network on behalf of both companies. The network consolidation agreement will significantly increase both operators’ 3G network quality and coverage, accelerate the provision of new high-speed mobile broadband services and deliver substantial cost savings as well as environmental benefits.

 

The first integrated cell site was commissioned in early February. Since then MBNL has concluded a pilot in the Leeds and Bradford area which successfully validated that the network consolidation technology will deliver the desired benefits focused on achieving nationwide 3G coverage.

 

Emin Gurdenli, Technology Director at T-Mobile UK, said: “We are now moving ahead with the large scale consolidation of cell sites. A key objective was to ensure that we achieve scale and integrate quickly and smoothly, minimizing costs whilst quickly expanding coverage so as to enable a much improved service experience for our growing number of mobile internet and broadband customers. We believe that with Nokia Siemens Networks as our principal technology partner, MBNL will deliver on its objective of creating what will be Europe’s largest HSDPA network in record timescales.”

 

Graham Baxter, Chief Technology Officer for 3 UK, said: “High-speed mobile broadband is going to be a key enabler for both consumers and businesses looking for convenient access to Internet-based services wherever they are. This innovative network collaboration agreement will help to accelerate the adoption of new services in a timescale each of us could not have achieved on our own. It also enables us to cost effectively meet customer demand for wider coverage, faster speeds and greater capacity that is starting to arise as mobile devices become the most cost-effective and convenient route to access the Internet.”

Although masts and the 3G access networks are being combined, each company’s core network and T-Mobile’s 2G network will not be shared. Both parties will retain responsibility for the delivery of services to their respective customers and use their own frequency spectrum. Nokia Siemens Networks’ industry-leading radio access solution will replace most of the two operators’ communications stations across the UK and equipment at the remaining sites is being upgraded and reconfigured for higher quality and capacity. The solution, featuring energy-efficient Flexi base stations from Nokia Siemens Networks, will allow a reduction the number of sites in the network by about 30 percent.

 

As well as network infrastructure, Nokia Siemens Networks will deliver project management, network deployment and managed spare parts capability, as well as care services to maintain network performance and increase its efficiency.

 

“This contract is an endorsement of our successful partnership with the two companies and we are committed to supporting them in their growth objectives as well as simplifying the network and reducing their operating costs. Our role in creating the UK’s largest 3G network underscores Nokia Siemens Networks’ leadership in managing advanced and complex network integration projects for the benefit of our customers,” said Spencer Rigler of Nokia Siemens Networks.

 

Synergies in network operations will be achieved thanks to the leading-edge Multi-operator Radio Access Network (MORAN) solution from Nokia Siemens Networks, allowing their networks to function independently. There are several benefits of this unique technology including full flexibility while merging the two networks, the re-use of existing infrastructure and the reduction of the number of sites.

 

In addition to cost savings and improved network quality, the integration will also deliver environmental benefits as the Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi base station helps achieve power savings at site of up to 70% compared with traditional 3G equipment.

 

Nokia Siemens Networks is the market leader in network consolidation solutions and this contract further strengthens this position. Over the past several years the company has gained substantial experience in building and operating shared networks. Today, the only shared networks in commercial operation are implemented with Nokia Siemens Networks technology that offers the complete range of network sharing methods for 2G and 3G – from simple site sharing to a fully managed network.
