Alcatel to Supply GSM/GPRS and UMTS Mobile Networks to Wave Telecom
June 12, 2003
Alcatel announced the signature of a contract with Wave Telecom, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Jersey Telecom Group, to supply a GSM/GPRS and 3G/UMTS
mobile network in the island of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands.
Following the successful rollout by Alcatel of a GSM/GPRS mobile network
and services platform in Jersey, Jersey Telecom Group has now selected
Alcatel technology for its first 3G/UMTS network. Wave Telecom will launch
3G/UMTS services in Guernsey by April 2004 while GSM/GPRS services will
be available in November 2003.
Launched in December 2002, Wave Telecom is the only mobile operator to
apply for and receive a 3G licence from Guernsey's Office of Utility Regulation.
Wave Telecom's licence also covers the provision of GSM/GPRS and 3G/UMTS
services for the surrounding Channel Islands of Alderney and Sark.
Under the terms of this contract, Alcatel will supply and install a complete
and integrated set of GSM/GPRS and UMTS features and network configurations.
The Alcatel's Evolium solution features the GSM/GPRS and the UTRAN (UMTS
Terrestrial Radio Access Network) radio systems, the mobile circuit and
packet switch core network systems, as well as the Radio Network Controllers
(RNC) and a Home Location Register (HLR).
"Third generation technology adds a totally new dimension to mobile phone
services by enabling all forms of communication to be accessible on a
mobile," said Tim Ringsdore, Managing Director of Wave Telecom.
Charles Matthews, CEO, Alcatel UK said: "We are proud to have helped
Wave Telecom realise its vision of a 2G, 2.5G and 3G network."
The Evolium multi-standard platform integrates all technologies, from
GSM/GPRS to EDGE and UMTS and allows all solutions in one for a smooth
upgrade. Alcatel's approach to the introduction of UMTS in existing GSM
networks focuses on protecting the operator's investment in general, and
on Radio Access Network (RAN) system, in particular. Alcatel's multi-standard
platforms and openness evolutionary solutions provide more than 50 operators
worldwide with a maximum flexibility for 3G/UMTS rollout.
