Siemens sets up 3G/UMTS mobile network for Telefónica Móviles in Spain
January 16, 2004
Siemens mobile is to equip Spanish mobile operator Telefónica Móviles
with 3G/UMTS technology. Telefónica Móviles has selected Siemens and Ericsson
to provide equipment for the second phase of their 3G/UMTS network construction.
A long-term partnership has been agreed with the two suppliers, and work
on setting up the network in Spain will start very soon. By 2005, around
8,000 base stations will have been installed. Telefónica aims to invest
around one billion euros in the 3G/UMTS network by 2006. With this contract,
Siemens mobile has managed to win Telefónica Móviles as a new customer
for third generation mobile phone infrastructure.
Siemens mobile is supplying and installing all the infrastructure components
required to set up the 3G/UMTS radio network. Telefónica Móviles wants
to start offering its first commercial 3G/UMTS services in 2004. In the
first phase of the network construction, around 1,100 stations were set
up by the end of 2003. Siemens was not among the suppliers involved in
the first phase.
"We are particularly pleased with our 26th 3G/UMTS order, as with Telefónica
Móviles we have managed to win the largest Spanish mobile operator as
a new 3G/UMTS customer", comments Lothar Pauly, Board Member of Siemens
Information and Communication Mobile. "We are thus reinforcing our leading
position in next-generation mobile networks."
