Globe Telecom in Philippines Awards Nokia EDGE Contract
November 13, 2003
Globe Telecom and Nokia have concluded a deal for the rollout of EDGE
network solutions in Metro Manila following successful EDGE trials earlier
this year.
The deal covers the delivery of equipment and services required for the
activation of EDGE (Enhance Data Rates for GSM Evolution) all across the
Manila metropolitan area. In addition to the delivery of Nokia EDGE-capable
base stations, such as the Nokia UltraSite and Nokia MetroSite, the deal
also includes services such as Project Management, Implementation, Network
Planning and Optimization.
"We trust in Nokia's systems capability in GSM/EDGE technology solutions,"
said Gerardo C. Ablaza, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of
Globe Telecom. "With EDGE, Globe will be able to offer our subscribers
higher quality network services at faster data speeds. This will enhance
our customers' experience with advanced mobile multimedia services such
as MMS, downloads of Java games, icons, screensavers, ringtones and more."
"Nokia has demonstrated their ability and dedication to support us with
professional services to ensure fast network ramp-up and overall system
maintenance and optimization," Ablaza added.
Nokia has been working with Globe Telecom since 1994, providing turnkey
services for the operator's GSM infrastructure over this period.
"Nokia is happy to deepen our long standing relationship with Globe.
Services delivered on EDGE networks will be on average three times faster
with lower costs compared to today's GPRS technology. The EDGE trial demonstrates
Globe's commitment to deliver to subscribers seamless coverage and capacity
extension for 3G-like services such as streaming, high-quality video/audio
clips, browsing and corporate data access," said Tapani Sairanen, Account
Director for Globe, Nokia Networks.
