Finnet selects Nokia for EDGE in Finland
January 15, 2004
Finnish network operator Finnet Networks has chosen Nokia's EDGE system
to offer data service that is on average three times faster than GPRS.
The service, currently undergoing public trials, uses Nokia EDGE-capable
base stations provided under an agreement signed earlier this year.
Finnet, which operates a GSM/GPRS network for mobile service provider
DNA Finland, is working closely with Nokia and the Octopus project, a
EU-funded development project, to test new innovative services over the
live EDGE network.
With the trials, Finnet is gaining valuable hands-on experience of Nokia's
EDGE network and EDGE terminal equipment. DNA benefits by collecting customer
feedback on service performance, which will be crucial for faster and
smoother nationwide rollout of the new services over EDGE.
The Nokia equipment was employed as part of the Octopus project, which
provides a forum for partners to test and use new mobile services. Nokia,
Finnet and DNA are all partners in the project, which is owned and operated
by the Finnish city of Oulu.
"EDGE is clearly an interesting alternative for enhancing our customers'
mobile data experience, which is why we are evaluating EDGE as part of
our future service portfolio," says Riitta Tiuraniemi, Director, Mobile
Networks, Finnet Networks Ltd. "Our trial EDGE network is the first public
showcase of the attractive data services that our customers will be able
to engage in. We are very satisfied with Nokia's system and its support
and expertise in trialing services over EDGE."
"We are very pleased to be deeply involved in Finnet's EDGE network,"
says Jukka Pietarinen, Account Director, Nokia Networks. "We have enjoyed
the close cooperation in this project, which enriches and strengthens
our long partnership with Finnet. We feel this forms a good foundation
for the future cooperation also with WCDMA 3G and service platforms.
