Improved user experience for 3 and Telenor subscribers in Sweden
Nokia Siemens Networks undertakes modernization of operators’ shared network
Telenor and 3 (Hi3G Access AB) subscribers in large parts of Sweden can now enjoy mobile data at up to 42 megabits per second (Mbps) and an overall enhanced mobile communications experience. 3GIS AB, which provides the shared 3G network for Telenor Sweden AB and Hi3G Access AB, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks to continue to modernize and expand its capacity. With this, Telenor and 3 are able to offer twice the existing bandwidth, and also reduce the energy consumption*.
“The dramatic surge in subscribers’ data use means that we need to continue to upgrade the network,” said Michael Yngvesson, CEO, 3GIS. “Nokia Siemens Networks has been our long-standing partner in our commitment to providing the latest services backed by innovative technology. The increased capacity delivers an improved end-user experience while also being environmentally responsible.”
“With a number of smart devices flooding the market, it is imperative for leading operators like Telenor and 3 to adapt accordingly,” said Hasan Mian, head of the 3GIS customer team at Nokia Siemens Networks. “3GIS has been very consistent with its network upgrade plans and is always looking to invest where it matters the most – technology modernization. The improved, high-quality network allows 3GIS to boost the end-user experience and optimize its operating expenditure with reduced carbon footprint.”
Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks is modernizing high traffic areas of the network with its energy-efficient, Flexi Multiradio Base Stations**, in addition to expanding the capacity for a majority of the network. The modernization introduces Dual-Cell functionality***, enabling the operator to offer 42Mbps HSPA+ data capability in the network. Nokia Siemens Networks is also providing implementation, planning as well as optimization services which is based on its network management system, NetAct.
Nokia Siemens Networks operates the 3GIS network under a managed services contract. In addition, the company provides full spare part management as well as other care services for 3GIS.
