7th March 2006 - T-Mobile launches commercial
High Speed Downlink Data Packet Access (HSDPA) networks, supplied
by Nokia, in Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands,
thus enabling faster and better mobile services to consumers.
The launch at CeBIT 2006 in Hanover, Germany is the result
of the strong collaboration between the two companies to deploy
HSDPA in commercial networks. T-Mobile and Nokia provide HSDPA
to CeBIT visitors in Hanover and simultaneously activate HSDPA
in Germany, later in the year in the Netherlands and the United
Kingdom. Prior to the launch, Nokia and T-Mobile successfully
trialled HSDPA in live networks.
"We are committed to offer our customers high-quality
broadband mobile data services that combine mobility with
DSL-type of speeds," Klaus Jürgen Krath, Vice President
RAN Engineering T-Mobile International. "With Nokia's
HSDPA solution we can offer both our business and private
customers faster services, such as downloading large files,
multimedia and music."
"We are extremely pleased to support T-Mobile in launching
their commercial HSDPA network," says Kari Sundbäck,
Vice President, Networks, Nokia. "With Nokia, operators
can bring HSDPA to market quickly, cost-effectively and with
the highest network performance."
Nokia's high-performing, cost-optimized HSDPA is a simple
software upgrade to Nokia WCDMA networks, offering average
data speeds of 1-2 Mbps in the first phase. Later Nokia HSDPA
supports up to 14.4 Mbps according to the industry standard.
Nokia is a leader in the HSDPA market, with over 20 contracts
globally.
