re: Telnor Mobil Norway Activates its UMTS Network

Ericsson is the main 3G supplier to Telnor and Ericsson is collaborating in a joint project with Telnor to evaluate and test the practical and commercial aspects of integrating Wireless LAN and UMTS as complementary radio access technologies.

Nokia is supplying Telenor with the Radio Access Network including Nokia Smart Radio Concept.

>> Norwegian 3G Network Activates Tomorrow

Cellular News
Noveber 30, 1001

Tomorrow, Norway's Telenor Mobil will "technically" launch its 3G network, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the license agreement set by the authorities. Telenor Mobil's UMTS network will initially cover central areas of Oslo with a population of approximately 200,000. The network will only be made available to applications developers and testers due to the lack of available 3G handsets for the general public.

The majority of other countries have postponed the opening of their third generation mobile networks, sending Norway far ahead in this area. Although UMTS terminals and services will not be available to the general public for a number of months yet, it is extremely valuable for Telenor Mobil and its partners to open a network that can be used for trial- and development activities. The network will also be expanded to cover far more towns and densely populated areas before it is in full practical operation.

There is presently a limited amount of test terminals available, and the network itself can initially only be used for voice calls. The development of services that fully utilize the possibilities of UMTS technology is well under way, and functional UMTS terminals are expected to be available for the mass market in the course of the Autumn 2002. <<
