Si.mobil - Vodafone starting with EDGE technology from Siemens
December 10, 2003
Slovenia is successfully on its way into the third mobile generation:
As one of the first network operators in Eastern Europe, Si.mobil - Vodafone
is starting its commercial EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution)
services, hence ringing in a new era in Eastern European mobile radio.
The network was delivered and set up by the mobile arm of Siemens AG-
Siemens mobile for short.
By January 2004 the new high-speed network will be installed in Ljubljana
and Maribor and their surrounding areas, commercial operation will begin
by the end of March 2004. With this order, Siemens mobile has now already
been awarded eight orders for equipping mobile operators in Europe, Asia,
North- and South-America with EDGE technology.
Bojan Dremelj, CEO of Si.mobil said: "Together with Siemens mobile we
made a plan how to step from 2G network to 3G network. We are one of the
first EDGE adaptors in Europe and prepared for the start into a new mobile
generation."
Christoph Caselitz, President of the Networks Division of Siemens mobile
commented: "EDGE is an excellent solution for Slovenia on its way into
the third mobile generation. We are allowing Si.mobil to offer mobile
services at an early stage and create acceptance for further broadband
services."
The contract between Siemens mobile and the Slovenian mobile operator
Si.mobil - Vodafone for delivery of EDGE technology (base stations, switching
technology, hardware and software components) was signed in July 2003.
Just six months later the new network is going into operation. By January
2004, Slovenia's capital Ljubljana and the metropolitan area of Maribor
will have access to the new technology. Full commercial operation is scheduled
for the end of March 2004. The order for delivery of EDGE technology represents
a significant success for Siemens mobile's business strategy for the economic
region of Central and Eastern Europe. Siemens mobile has already been
supplying mobile technology to the Slovenian network operator since 1997.
EDGE is an extension of GSM and allows data transmission at four times
the speed of GPRS. This means that mobile phone users can already transfer
videos to their phones, listen to the radio online, and surf mobile on
the internet or send e-mails. With regard to the third mobile generation,
mobile operators can already offer high-quality data services at an early
stage and hence create acceptance for the introduction of other applications
onto the market. With this order, Siemens mobile has now already been
awarded eight orders for equipping mobile operators in Europe, the USA
and Asia with EDGE technology.
