Polkomtel launching HSDPA with Nokia solution

November 23, 2006

Nokia has supported Polish mobile operator Polkomtel in launching its commercial High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network in the Warsaw area. The Nokia HSDPA solution enables Polkomtel to offer its customers mobile data services at speeds of up to five times faster than its current WCDMA speed and still operate the network in a cost-efficient way.

"We at Polkomtel take pride in offering our customers the best quality and the most advanced services, so upgrading our 3G network to HSDPA was a natural step," says Thomas Eberle, Chief Technical Officer, Polkomtel. "Rapid rollout capability and technical expertise are extremely valuable when introducing new services to our customers. We have the Nokia WCDMA 3G network, so upgrade to HSDPA only required new software, which allowed us to launch HSDPA services extremely easily and fast."

"We are delighted that Polkomtel selected Nokia's solutions and professional services to support their commercial HSDPA service launch in Poland," says Giuseppe Donagemma, Senior Vice President, Networks, Nokia. "Our solution enables Polkomtel to introduce mobile broadband services to their customers, thus enhancing subscriber loyalty and generating additional revenue."

Polkomtel and Nokia have worked together since 1996. Nokia supplies the HSDPA under extension of the existing frame agreement for GSM/EDGE and WCDMA 3G, signed in 2005.
