None of the big US carrier use Siemens switches, as far as I know. None of our customers, Nextel, Western Wireless, Omnipoint, have Siemens switches. When it comes to Europe, people talk about Ericcsson, Alcatel, Nokia.
At Siemens facility at Boca, I talked to several dumb people. It just appeared to me that they had utter inferior products and technical people than Nortel (where I actually worked for a while).
Most consumers in this country don't know who/what Siemens is, and they never need to, I think. |
