Nokia delivers competitive EDGE technology globally
September 17, 2002
Nokia announced that volume deliveries of EDGE hardware across
all major GSM bands and in all continents have commenced. This marks
another major milestone for Nokia, which became the first vendor
to ship EDGE network hardware in volumes.
The first shipments took place in the Americas in the end of 2001,
and during the first half 2002 deliveries began to networks in Europe
and Asia, with full production capability achieved by mid-2002.
EDGE (enhanced data rates for global evolution) features are part
of the GSM specifications and it is a 3G technology defined by ITU
and 3GPP. EDGE is an important part of the smooth evolution to GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA
multiradio networks. Together EDGE and WCDMA ensure fastest adoption
of 3G multimedia services for all mobile subscribers.
With EDGE, operators can provide consumers with a three-fold increase
in data-rates and capacity through their GSM/GPRS networks, boosting
the revenues generated by operators from the GSM frequencies and
reducing the cost of building new capacity for the increasing usage
of attractive data services. EDGE offers full backwards compatibility
to GSM/GPRS services.
"EDGE enjoys the proven benefits of GSM technology, such as openness,
cost-efficiency through economies of scale and true global footprint
and roaming, and will become an integral part of GSM/GPRS and WCDMA
terminals," explains Jussi Wäre, Vice President Marketing and Sales,
Nokia Networks.
