Nokia shows 3G services with Telestet at the Info-Com Conference in Athens,
Greece
July 11, 2003
Nokia and the Greek operator Telestet have demonstrated the first public
WCDMA 3G call in Greece over a network ready for commercial use. The demonstration,
which was conducted at the Info-Com Conference 2003 in Athens, also included
a series of 3G services.
The call demonstration was carried out by Telestet employees using the
commercially available Nokia 6650 phone, as well as third-party prototypes.
During the demonstration, a series of services were on display to the
public, including video call, streaming, Internet browsing, and access
to webcams, using data speeds of up to 384 kilobits/sec.
"3G is here now and on display for our customers," says Mr.
Gamberini, Chief Network Officer of Telestet at the Info - Com Conference,
"We're happy with Nokia's support in making this demonstration possible.
For us it's further proof of Nokia's strong commitment to assist Telestet
in its UMTS plans. We have the ambition to remain at the edge of telecommunication
innovative solutions and we therefore consider 3G another substantial
technical challenge. Our goal is to offer fascinating and easy- to-use
3G services to our customers by the end of the year".
"Exactly 10 years ago, Telestet was the first operator in Greece
to go commercially with a 2G call," says Mr. Athanasios Exarchos,
Senior Account Manager, Nokia Networks. "Telestet has now once again
pioneered and reached a historical milestone with the first public demonstration
of 3G services in the Greek market. Nokia is proud to have provided the
technology to enable this call and is happy to partner with such a market
innovator as Telestet."
Telestet, the brand name for STET Hellas Telecommunications SA is at the
forefront of mobile communications in Europe. To its growing base of more
than 2.7 million customers in Greece, the company offers some of the most
innovative products and services in the market. Telestet acquired a license
for deploying 3G network and services in July 2001. To meet license demands
and market expectations, it plans to launch the first 3G services towards
the end of 2003 and to this end it has already deployed a 3G network in
Athens, the capital of Greece and Salonica, the second largest city.
