Multi-Links selects Nortel Networks for CDMA2000 1X fixed wireless network expansion

October 21, 2003

Nigeria's Multi-Links Telecommunications has selected Nortel Networks to expand its next generation fixed wireless data network in Lagos and to deploy new CDMA2000 1X fixed networks in Abuja and Kaduna. The expansion is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2004.

This expansion will increase network capacity to accommodate more voice and data calls in Lagos. It will also position Multi-Links to provide wireless services to new markets in Abuja and Kaduna, which will be its first deployments outside of Lagos. The network equipment will position Multi-Links to drive new revenue opportunities with high-speed wireless data and secure Internet services like mobile Web browsing and e-mail access with attachments.

“This network expansion underlines our commitment to providing the highest quality voice and data services to customers across Nigeria,” said C. K. Ramani, chief executive officer, Multi-Links. “Nortel Networks has worked closely with us on our network business model, and demonstrated their ability to move quickly and to cost-effectively deploy the technology we need to expand our services beyond Lagos.”

Multi-Links’ existing wireless network in Lagos, also deployed by Nortel Networks, was launched in March 2003 as Africa’s first commercial CDMA 1X network.

”We are pleased to see the region’s leading operators, like Multi-Links, turn to Nortel Networks CDMA2000 1X solutions to add capacity and bring sophisticated new voice and data services to market,” said Michel Clement, president, Nortel Networks France, Middle East and Africa. “The wireless business model is an economical way to extend voice and Internet services to new populations. In many cases, a wireless solution is less expensive to implement in these kinds of regions than traditional wireline.”
