Nokia Networks has further strengthened its network implementation capabilities by selecting four internationally recognized companies ABB, Bovis Lend Lease, MKI and Wireless Facilities Inc. as its main partners for turnkey implementation of 3G and GSM networks in the Europe, Middle East and Africa areas.
These companies will work with Nokia for turnkey implementation of 3G and GSM networks supplied by Nokia Networks. Their activities will cover network planning, site acquisition, construction works, installation and commissioning. Nokia has synchronized its total system delivery for 3G networks, to result in faster 3G network deliveries and faster network roll out capability.
"By combining our strengths with those of our turnkey partners, we will enable faster implementation of new 3G networks and hence faster time to market," says Christian Kurten, Vice President and General Manager, Engineering Services, Nokia Networks. "Since 3G success is about speed, our aim is that Nokia's resources, project management skills, processes and partners are ready for 3G volume installations today. Nokia has already built strong capabilities with turnkey deliveries for GSM networks in almost 20 countries."
Nokia has several years experience of offering turnkey deliveries and these agreements with four world-class partners will strengthen Nokia's Professional Services offering, combined with the resources of several other global partners.
Nokia Professional Services offers a full range of support services and solutions to help network providers differentiate in today's fast-changing business environment. This support includes the entire process of planning, building and operating a network, as well as developing, managing and optimizing network operations. With well over 5,000 staff around the world, supported by an extensive network of local subcontractors and global partners as well as Nokia Online Services, providing round-the-clock support via the Internet, Nokia offers a services capability which is difficult to match.
