Telecom Italia and Nokia Collaborate on WCDMA 3G

Nokia and Telecom Italia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for wider cooperation in the area of WCDMA 3G, followed by separate agreements on end-to-end performance optimization, WCDMA 3G terminal cooperation, and supply of a WCDMA radio access network in Italy.



Nokia will provide services for end-to-end optimization, from terminals through service platforms, middleware, and across the telecommunications network. Nokia also joins the build out of the TIM Italy WCDMA 3G network with the deployment of a state-of-the-art WCDMA radio access network in five Italian regions. Nokia began the network deployment during the summer and has met all agreed roll-out and quality targets for the first phase of the deployment. http://www.nokia.com
