Hong Kong CSL chooses Nokia as a supplier of its 3G network

date: September 25, 2001

CSL and Nokia have signed an agreement for the supply of CSL's 3G network. In addition to the supply of end-to-end network infrastructure equipment, Nokia will also provide project management service for the network implementation.

The agreement extends the two companies' co-operation which began in 1991, when Nokia became the first GSM supplier to CSL. Nokia has supplied both core and radio-access equipment, as well as GPRS to CSL, which currently serves around one million GSM subscribers. Nokia will continue as a key technology partner as CSL moves into the 3G market.

"We are pleased to be a provisional successful bidder of the 3G licence in Hong Kong," says Mr. Hubert Ng, CSL's Chief Executive Officer. "The move to 3G is a natural progression for CSL to meet the growing demand for data intensive mobile services, and by choosing a trusted partner with a long history of close co-operation, CSL is making the right decision to ensure the continued success of our mobile business well into the future."

"Hong Kong has always been a 'showcase' market in telecommunications, with one of the most advanced and demanding consumer environments," says Jouko Päivinen, Vice President, Customer Operations, Nokia Networks. "This is why our long-term co-operation with CSL is of key importance to us. Nokia is extremely pleased to see this relationship continue with Nokia playing a major role in CSL's plans for success in 3G."
