Siemens to build EDGE network for Colombia Móvil
June 30, 2003
Siemens is building a complete GSM/GPRS 1900 mobile network for mobile
operator Colombia Móvil in Colombia - as sole supplier. The Colombian
operator has chosen the Siemens also to equip its network with EDGE technology.
This is the fourth EDGE contract Siemens mobile has concluded around the
world. The order is worth more than US$65 million.
Siemens is supplying and installing transmit and receive stations as
well as switching technology for Colombia Móvil’s GSM/GPRS 1900 network
and equipping the network with EDGE technology. Based on the GSM standard,
EDGE permits even higher data rates than GPRS. The technology enables
mobile operators to offer customers services with high data volume such
as exchanging videos, music clips and photos via mobile phone, interactive
games and Location Based Services. Colombia Móvil intends to put its network
into operation throughout the country in October of this year.
“The company’s many years of experience with GSM technology and its strong
local presence were key factors in our decision to select Siemens”, explains
Mauricio Mesa, President of Colombia Móvil. “The GPRS and EDGE solutions
provided by Siemens will, in addition, allow us to offer our customers
new and exciting high bandwidth services.”
“We are very pleased that Colombia Móvil has chosen us as the sole supplier
for its national network”, says Christoph Caselitz, President of Networks
within the Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group. “This second
success for EDGE in Latin America and fourth worldwide really highlights
our position as one of the leading EDGE suppliers.”
Colombia Móvil is the third mobile provider in Colombia and a subsidiary
of the two fixed network providers EPM Medellin and ETB Bogota.
