>> Cingular Awards Two GSM Upgrade Contracts

Cellular News
December 3, 2001

Cingular Wireless has chosen Nokia and Ericsson as the main infrastructure suppliers for a significant portion of its nationwide GSM/EDGE network.

Under the terms of the contract, Nokia will supply its end-to-end GSM/EDGE solution for dual-band (850 MHz and 1900 MHz) mobile service, including both core network and radio-access network systems.

Included in the contract are Nokia UltraSite triple-mode (GSM/EDGE/WCDMA) base stations, as well as the Nokia DX 200 circuit switched core and GPRS packet-core network solutions.

Ericsson will provide the largest portion of the core network infrastructure and provide radio network equipment for overlay markets. Additionally, Ericsson maintains its top position in the expansion of existing Cingular GSM markets.

Nokia says that its order is worth in excess of US$1 billion, and is their largest ever single system level deal. Ericsson did not comment on the value of their order.

In addition to the supply of GSM/EDGE network equipment, Nokia will provide its NetAct network management system and the Network Deployment Package for the network build-out including planning services. Cingular's network upgrade is also designed to support the E-911 phase two standard. <<
