Motorola to build 3G UMTS network in Portugal
January 21, 2004
Motorola’s Global Telecom Solutions Sector (GTSS) announced an agreement
to build a 3G UMTS network in northern Portugal. Motorola was awarded
the three-year deal by Optimus following a successful four-month network
trial. Optimus plans to deliver 3G services to northern Portugal by Q2
2004.
Motorola has extensive CDMA experience with over 60 deployed networks
ranging from the first commercial IS-95 network to our current CDMA 2000
1X networks. Coupled with Motorola’s network planning expertise, this
means that 90 percent of the UMTS network parameters are pre-optimized,
allowing an operator to rapidly deploy their network. This helps it allay
its fears of a rollout being delayed for performance reasons.
Motorola’s UMTS equipment, such as the compact Horizon 3G Base station,
is easy to install, enabling shorter deployment times and provides, for
example, a simple migration path to HSDPA. In addition, the high performance
of Motorola’s UMTS network solution offers a low drop-call rate that is
comparable to high-performing GSM levels and a seamless hand-over between
2G and 3G calls, providing users with excellent quality of service.
Pinto Correia, chief technical officer of Optimus, said: “Motorola has
been selected as our 3G supplier for several reasons: one being its ability
to integrate easily with other networks. For example, during the trial,
Motorola integrated its equipment with our existing UMTS core in less
than a week which is very impressive. Secondly, Motorola demonstrated
a very high quality of service which is critical for our customers.”
Margaret Rice-Jones, corporate vice president of Motorola and general
manager, GTSS EMEA, said: “Winning this 3G UMTS Optimus contract is a
major landmark for Motorola and reflects our growing success and commitment
in the European market for all types of mobile infrastructure. Optimus’
choice of Motorola’s equipment is testimony to the technical strength
of our UMTS solution and of our strong relationship with the company.
We look forward to working with Optimus in the future to help deliver
innovative 3G services.”
António Casanova, chief executive officer, Optimus, said: “We are pleased
to be making the announcement today with Motorola as we continue our efforts
to deliver leading-edge 3G services to the people of Portugal. By working
together we will build a cost effective and high quality solution to provide
the future means of communication for this country.”
