Microcell Chooses Nortel Networks as Exclusive Core Network Equipment
Supplier
January 18, 2004
Microcell Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Microcell Telecommunications,
announced that it has chosen Nortel Networks as its exclusive supplier
for GSM and UMTS core wireless network equipment until December 31, 2006
under an amendment to a supply agreement signed in December 2001. This
amendment represents a value of approximately US$50 million (CDN$70 million).
The amendment gives Nortel Networks exclusivity for provisioning GSM
MSC (Mobile Switching Centre), HLR (Home Location Register) and call server
products. It will also allow deployment of a 'live' 3G wireless network,
enabling a service 'showcase' in Montreal using technology based on the
UMTS standard.
"The agreement allows us to unify and simplify our core infrastructure,
providing us with increased network efficiency," said Alain Rheaume, president
and chief operating officer, Microcell Solutions. "This will help us deploy
new services more rapidly and at lower cost in the future. In addition,
it will provide us with an opportunity to test and learn about third generation
services at minimal cost."
Nortel Networks has deployed 80 GSM/GPRS networks in more than 50 countries,
and is supplying GSM/GPRS systems to enable Wireless Data Network services
for more than 50 operators around the world. Nortel Networks is the industry's
only supplier with Wireless Data Networks operating in all three advanced
technologies - GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA2000, and UMTS. Nortel Networks is deploying
UMTS globally for a number of service providers, including Vodafone, mm02,
Orange, Telefonica, and T-Mobile across Europe, and AT&T Wireless Services
in the United States.
