HiQ preferred supplier of consulting services to 3
November 21, 2002
The Nordic IT and management consultant HiQ signs an agreement
with the operator 3, former Hi3G. The agreement, which gives HiQ
preferred supplier status, covers services like radio network and
transmission design, telecoms strategy and specialist technical
competence.
"Previously HiQ focused on network design and procurement of network
equipment and IT support systems. Now we are concentrating our efforts
on roll-out of the 3G networks," says Bo Ringdahl, Account Manager
at HiQ Stockholm.
"As a preferred supplier, HiQ is working with 3's roll-out of 3G
networks in all areas. This includes a roll-out in Denmark," continues
Ringdahl.
3 concentrates on being a multimedia operator. This gives the company
a unique opportunity to focus on mobile services. In Sweden 3 is
owned by Hutchison Whampoa and Investor.
"3 will be launching content-packed mobiles and services in Sweden
in the spring," says Niclas Lilja, CIO at 3. "Cooperation is a key
factor in a successful launch." Parallel to the partnership with
3, HiQ is also working with 3GIS, a network operator owned in equal
parts by Europolitan/Vodafone, 3 and Orange. 3GIS works with securing
cost-efficient network coverage and capacity to the owners.
"Working with 3GIS gives us an overall view of the operator's network
solutions, roll-out and operations, which is improving the efficiency
of our partnership, says Ringdahl.
