Singapore's M1 awards Nokia deal for WCDMA and GSM/GPRS expansion and
enhancement
December 8, 2003
Mobile operator M1 of Singapore has awarded Nokia a contract to supply
equipment and services for the second phase of its WCDMA 3G network rollout.
In addition, the deal includes GSM/GPRS equipment to enhance GSM coverage
and GPRS capacity.
Under the contract, Nokia will supply expansion and enhancements to M1's
WCDMA 3G network, including core network and radio-access equipment, and
services including project management, implementation, and network optimization
consultancy, as well as the Nokia NetActTM network and service management
system. GSM/GPRS equipment to be suppled includes GSM radio-access network
equipment and GPRS core enhancements for capacity expansion. The Phase
2 WCDMA 3G and GSM/GPRS enhancement deliveries start immediately.
"M1 is confident in Nokia's leadership in GSM/GPRS/WCDMA technologies
following the successful rollout of Phase 1. This new order for infrastructure
with Nokia will be instrumental for the roll out of our 3G network beyond
the central business district," said Neil Montefiore, M1's Chief Executive
Officer.
"As we continue to experience growth in GSM voice GPRS data traffic,
this Phase 2 expansion will help M1 to meet the growing needs of our customers,
enhancing our coverage in new suburban towns and along the new Mass Rapid
Transit (MRT) train lines," added Montefiore.
Marko Kytoharju, Account Director, Nokia Networks Asia Pacific said,
"We are happy to have played a part in the recent M1 3G lifestyle showcase,
with the successful Phase 1 rollout. Nokia, as sole network supplier,
is working very closely with M1 towards the successful delivery of a commercial
WCDMA 3G launch in 2nd half of 2004."
