October 14, 2003
Total Access Communication (DTAC), Thailand's mobile provider of mobile

The deal includes delivery of a significant number of Nokia EDGE-enabled

With EDGE technology, DTAC can offer its customers superior quality network
services that combine high-speed data, voice, audio, video and text.
"This is a milestone in DTAC's end-to-end cooperation with Nokia to provide
innovative services to all of our six million customers across the country,"
said Sigve Brekke, DTAC's Co-Chief Executive Officer. "We are experiencing
exponential growth in our data traffic. By choosing Nokia as the sole
supplier on our network we can very efficient upgrade our network to EDGE
when demand is sufficient.
"Nokia has clearly demonstrated its leadership in mobile network technologies
and strong commitment in helping DTAC to deliver the highest quality service
through our GSM network since the mid-1990s. Nokia has proven itself once
again through the EDGE trial we recently conducted. Nokia is clearly our
choice for EDGE," Brekke added.
Kristian Strand, Account Director, Nokia Networks said, "Nokia is proud
to be the sole supplier to DTAC's GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. We will continue
to work very closely work with DTAC to harmonize its existing network
equipment. DTAC subscribers will benefit from the highest network quality
service and enjoy up to three times faster speeds when browsing, downloading
and sharing multimedia content."
In June 2003, DTAC launched DTAC Streaming, the first mobile multimedia
service in Thailand. Developed by the DTAC-Nokia EASY Application Factory,
the service delivers multimedia content over DTAC's Nokia GPRS/EDGE-ready
nationwide network to DTAC subscribers with multimedia-enabled handsets
such as the Nokia 3650.
Nokia has been in collaboration with DTAC since the 1990s. To date, Nokia
has supplied DTAC with complete GSM systems and solutions comprising GSM
core and radio networks, GPRS core network, the Nokia Multimedia Messaging
Center (MMSC), the Nokia Short Message Service Center (SMSC), the Nokia
Intelligent Network (IN) Platform and Network Consultancy Services.
