WestLink Communications selects Nokia for its GSM/GPRS/EDGE network in
Kansas
September 25, 2003
Nokia and WestLink Communications, a unit of Pioneer Communications in
Ulysses, Kansas, have concluded a deal to replace WestLink's existing
GSM network with Nokia GSM/GPRS/EDGE core and radio access network equipment,
and expand its network to cover additional areas. Nokia will become the
sole system supplier to WestLink, which operates the only GSM network
in western Kansas.
With Nokia's equipment, WestLink will expand its network coverage by
60 to 70%. The "always on" connectivity of Nokia's GPRS is ideal for services
such as Push to Talk and new mobile data services.
Deliveries have begun, with the system scheduled to be operational before
year's end.
Under the agreement, Nokia will provide a complete GSM core and radio
access network, including EDGE-capable UltraSite base stations, as well
as the Nokia GPRS core network and the Nokia Short Message Service Center.
Also included are the Nokia NetAct network and service management system,
Nokia implementation services for the GSM/GPRS network elements, plus
a five-year CARE agreement. Because the network is EDGE capable, WestLink
can easily upgrade the system to provide even higher data rates for 3G
services.
"Deployment of this world-class GSM solution will bring increased customer
satisfaction not only to our customers but also for our roaming partners
who use the network," says Bill Hayden, Director of Wireless Operations,
WestLink Communications.
