Nokia says WCDMA would function well by mid-2004

July 15, 2003

Nokia CEO Jorma Ollila appeared confidently to the press that the introduction of 3G WCDMA mobile phone radio standard in Western Europe, which has been accompanied so far by delays, would function well by mid-2004 and in the long run would overtake CDMA2000.

The rival CDMA2000 standard has had much success elsewhere while WCDMA networks had a string of delays with teething technical problems.

Nokia, the world's largest mobile handset maker reckons that with an early economic pickup in Europe, operators would be ready to launch commercial WCDMA networks in early 2004 and sales of high-end mobile phone including 3G handsets would pickup.

Nokia makes 80% of its revenue from handset sales and the rest from mobile network installations. The Nokia network unit recently had a big upset when Hutchison 3G HK forced Nokia to remove all 720 3G radio sites in Hong Kong because of non 3GPP specification compliance.

Nokia admits it was only until two years ago that they finally made a breakthrough on the use of the high-speed data communication technology while Japanese handset makers had already released their 3G handsets.
