Sonera To Launch 3G Mobile Communications Services In Finland On
September 26
August 31, 2002
The services to be launched by Sonera on September 26 are among
the first 3G mobile communications services. The services will initially
operate primarily on the present mobile communications network (GSM/GPRS)
on account of the technological delay and also on the UMTS network
within the coming months. Sonera is at the forefront of launching
3G services, making roll-out and the transition between technologies
as smooth as possible.
The development of UMTS technology is progressing, but not yet
completed. The services Sonera will launch on September 26, 2002
can be used with the Java enabled MMS phones available on the market.
“In spite of the delay and slower overall start in UMTS technology
deployment globally, we continue to be in the vanguard of the development
of next generation services. The services that we will launch in
September will be the first step, after which we can continue with
the development work. These services represent an important milestone
on our way from the second generation of mobile communications to
the third one,” says Anni Vepsäläinen, Executive Vice President
responsible for Sonera’s 3G mobile communications project.
Since January 1, 2002, Sonera’s UMTS network has been operational
in limited areas within the Greater Helsinki area, Tampere, Turku
and Oulu. The network opened at the beginning of this year is the
first UMTS network in Europe that covers several towns. A limited
commercial pilot is planned for the first quarter of 2003. Commercial
UMTS mobile communications will be started on Sonera’s network in
2003 as soon as there is a sufficient number of UMTS enabled terminals
available and this is feasible in view of the maturity of the network
technology. Sonera estimates that more extensive UMTS markets will
be opened in the years 2004 and 2005 in Finland.
