14th June 2005 - Nokia has deployed its WCDMA 3G network
solution for Indonesian operator Telkomsel to assess 3G
services such as video sharing. The trial network will
operate in the metropolitan Jakarta area over a six-month
period. The trial reinforces the strong position Nokia
enjoys in 3G, having announced supply to 48 WCDMA 3G networks
worldwide, including 33 already commercially launched
and almost half of those launched in Asia-Pacific.
Under the agreement, Nokia is providing a complete Nokia
WCDMA 3G radio and core network, including the 3GPP Release
4 based Nokia MSC Server System and the 3GPP Release 5
based Nokia IP Multimedia System (IMS). The Nokia MSC
Server System enables operators like Telkomsel to simultaneously
deploy 2G and 3G services on the same switching system.
Nokia's 3G trial deployment also comprises GSM core network
elements and the Nokia UltraSite Supreme Node B base stations,
as well as the Nokia Preminet Solution for delivering
hosted data services over the network.
Deliveries have been completed, and the system is fully
operational. Nokia is also providing a comprehensive system
integration project as part of the trial network deployment.
"WCDMA will give us a strong evolutionary path from
2G to 3G, allowing us to bring our customers world-class
high-speed data services," said Bambang RO, Director
Business Development, Telkomsel. "We are looking
forward to trialing Nokia's end-to-end system and especially
to see what its system means for the offering of attractive
services such as video sharing."
"We are extremely pleased to be supporting Telkomsel
as it enters the era of 3G," said Arjun Trivedi,
Account Director, Networks, Nokia. "With the Nokia
core and radio access network and the Nokia IP Multimedia
Subsystem, Telkomsel can offer its customers video sharing,
bringing them exciting opportunity to share moments with
friends far and wide. We will do our utmost to continue
enabling high-quality mobile services in this growing
and important market."
Video Sharing is a new multimedia service that enriches
3G mobile users' communication by allowing them to share
a live camera view or a video clip while speaking on their
mobile. It provides the users with an instant way of adding
a visual element into a phone conversation. Video Sharing
is based on standardized 3GPP and IETF technologies and
is enabled by the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core network
infrastructure currently being trailed by Telkomsel. The
capabilities of Nokia's market leading radio network provides
the highest quality access for the video sharing service.
