Sonera sees Finnish GPRS network ready by year end
By Katja Heinonen, Reuters
24 May 2000
Finnish telecoms operator Sonera said on Wednesday it expected to have its general packet radio service (GPRS) mobile network up and running during the last quarter, giving cellphone users fast access to the Internet.

Sonera Corp. said the first GPRS network tests were made this month and were successful.

The GPRS network would be constructed and introduced during the last quarter of 2000, it added.

GPRS is a stepping stone to third-generation (3G) mobile networks and supports higher data transmission rates allowing always Internet connections.

Sonera Corp. - a pioneer in mobile Internet technologies - said it would also start to offer international test communications in the GPRS interconnection network to both domestic and international operators.

The interconnection of networks would allow for GPRS users travelling abroad to have home network services continuously available, it added.

Sonera said it aimed to commercialise this service by the beginning of 2001.

Last year Sonera signed agreements on GPRS network deliveries with both Nokia of Finland and Swedish rival Ericsson .

Sonera said consumers would be able to access services, like fast e-mail, Web surfing and connections to companies' intranets rapidly and easily, through their Internet-enabled WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) cellphones.
