Group 3G reaches UMTS interconnection agreement with Deutsche Telekom

date: July 17, 2001 - source: Telefonica Moviles

Group 3G, the German mobile phone operator of the Telefónica Móviles Group, has reached an agreement for interconnection on UMTS networks with the German operator Deutsche Telekom AG.

This accord, the first of its kind reached in Germany, will allow Group 3G to offer its future clients the possibility of making and receiving calls to and from all types of telephones (fixed or cellular), German or international, once Group 3G begins to offer voice and data products and services via GSM and GPRS.

In April, Group 3G signed a roaming agreement with the German mobile operator E-Plus, which will allow it to offer products and services to German clients over GSM/GPRS networks in the coming months, much earlier than was foreseen in the operator's original plans.

This agreement will be the first UMTS based interconnection contract in Germany.

Group 3G is owned 57.2% by Telefónica Móviles and 42.8% by the Finnish operator Sonera. In August 2000, it obtained one of six licenses for third-generation mobile telephony which were awarded at auction in Germany.
