A new, two-year deal between Nokia Siemens Networks and TeliaSonera will modernize TeliaSonera’s GSM and 3G networks in Finland and help roll out new LTE services.
The companies say NSN’s 4G/LTE radio equipment is helping customers in Helsinki take advantage of “super-fast" mobile broadband services. TeliaSonera was the first operator in the world to offer its customers LTE services back in 2009. NSN will provide TeliaSonera with its Flexi Multiradio Base Stations and NetAct network management system for the network upgrade.
"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."
