Telefónica Spain to Implement 42 HSPA+ with NSN

Telefónica Spain has selected Nokia Siemens Networks to upgrade its 3G radio network to HSPA+, in preparation for the next generation of mobile communications.
The three-year project will enable Telefónica Spain to increase data download speeds from 7.2 Mbps to 42 Mbps. The project will use Nokia Siemens Networks' LTE-ready Flexi Base Stations. In addition, Nokia Siemens Networks will provide its NetAct network management system to efficiently monitor, manage and optimize Telefónica's network. The modernization project also foresees the possibility of providing 3G and GSM access simultaneously using the same 900 MHz band of radio spectrum, once the regulatory authorities allow it. Financial terms were not disclosed.
