VimpelCom and Alcatel give mobile multimedia services over 3G/UMTS in Russia

May 19, 2003

UMTS field trials These trials, which are running on commercial equipment, include radio and core systems, terminals and applications. In full 3GPP compliance, the tests feature end-to-end circuit and packet connections, soft and softer handover.

VimpelCom, a Russian mobile operator, and Alcatel are demonstrating new 3G/UMTS mobile applications and services live at the Svyaz-Expocomm trade fair.

For the very first time in Russia, the visitors can take a look at the communications technology of tomorrow by watching live television, at any place, at any time on mobile handsets. As well as this, video-telephony users are the first in Russia to see and hear each other in full mobility, whilst one can also watch what is happening "live" in various countries in Europe and in Asia. All these multimedia calls are made using full 3GPP-compliant mobile handsets communicating over Alcatel's Evolium 3G/UMTS Core and Radio solutions combined with appropriate Alcatel application platforms.

This Russian Premiere follows the mobile video-telephony international calls that Alcatel has conducted in Europe and in Asia for over a year, linking various 3G/UMTS pilot networks deployed by Alcatel in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, as well as in Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, Taipei or Tokyo.

Furthermore, visitors can enjoy playing interactive games with people across the world, watching the latest music video clips or movie previews, as well as surfing the Internet via 3G/UMTS handsets.

Under the terms of the contract signed with VimpelCom in 2001, Alcatel delivered and installed its complete Evolium solution including the UTRAN (UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network) radio systems, the network systems (CORE), as well as the associated Radio Network Controller (RNC) and multimedia equipment. The radio systems, which include the UMTS base stations (Node B), are developed and produced by Evolium SAS, the joint venture between Alcatel and Fujitsu.

Sergey Avdeev, Chief Technical Officer of VimpelCom, said "Our experience from early UMTS projects will allow us to perform flexible upgrades for existing infrastructure which enables VimpelCom to offer seamless 2.5 G and 3G service depending on customer's needs."

The Evolium multi-standard platform integrates all technologies, from GSM/GPRS to EDGE and UMTS and with all solutions in one for the smooth upgrade of existing networks.
