Partner Communications Selects Nortel Networks for Israeli UMTS Network
November 12, 2003
Partner Communications has selected Nortel Networks in a frame agreement
with an estimated value of US$93 million to supply what is expected to
be Israel's first 3G UMTS wireless network.
Upon deployment, the network is expected to significantly boost voice
and data capacity, while positioning Partner to offer advanced new services
such as Person to Person Video Telephony that can change the way people
communicate and drive new sources of revenue for Partner.
"We are very pleased to announce the selection of Nortel Networks as
our vendor to elevate Partner Communications to a new era of 3G mobile
services," said Amikam Cohen, chief executive officer, Partner Communications.
"We are convinced that Nortel Networks experience and track record in
wideband radio technology and packet core networking make them the best
choice to partner with us, bringing to the exciting Israeli cellular market
a variety of services which will open new horizons to the Israeli cellular
customer."
Initial Partner UMTS deployment will begin by year-end 2003 in the Greater
Tel Aviv area, and will be followed by deployments to enable national
coverage across Israel.
"We continue to see progress in the rollout of UMTS, and this deployment
with Partner is another big step in our continued strategy to make 3G
a reality," said Pascal Debon, president, Wireless Networks, Nortel Networks.
"Our experience in deploying and tuning large-scale code division-based
networks and our core data networking expertise give us an advantage in
helping customers like Partner launch their UMTS networks quickly and
efficiently."
"This is a very important milestone for Nortel Networks, for Partner
and for the advanced cellular market in Israel," said Sorin Lupu, managing
director, Nortel Networks Israel. "The Israeli race for wireless broadband
services has begun, and we are very proud to have been chosen as Partner's
UMTS vendor. This is a highly-strategic project for Nortel Networks Israel,
and for Nortel Networks globally considering it represents our first win
with the Hutchison operator group."
The Israeli UMTS deployment also continues Nortel Networks market momentum
in 3G Wireless Data Networks. Nortel Networks is deploying UMTS with top
operators across Europe, and was recently selected by AT&T Wireless Services
to deploy what is expected to be the first commercial UMTS network in
North America.
