Hutchison 3G Austria Selects Nokia as Sole Supplier of Its 3G Core Network

date: April 29, 2002

Nokia will be a strategic partner for network supply and deployment in Hutchison's entry into the Austrian market.

Nokia and Hutchison 3G Austria GmbH have signed a contract for the supply of Hutchison's 3G network in Austria. Under the agreement, Nokia will supply its 3G core-network equipment (circuit and packet switched), as well as operations and support service (OSS) for the core network and implementation and maintenance services.

In addition to network equipment, Nokia will provide its Network Deployment Package, which covers implementation and project management and the Nokia KeyCare Package to maintain the competitiveness of the network.

Hutchison 3G Austria is a new entrant to the Austria mobile communications market, and one of six operators to win a license in Austria's 3G license auction.

"We are extremely pleased that Hutchison 3G Austria has selected Nokia as a strategic partner to deploy the most innovative 3G network on the market," says Ian McCaig, Vice President, Nokia Networks. "The 3G core network solution included in this deal will help Hutchison 3G Austria to be a front runner on the road to All-IP networks and true multimedia services."

"Austria is an extremely competitive telecommunications market today, and we are eager to bring to it the most attractive - and reliable -- 3G service possible," says Berthold Thoma, Chief Technical Officer, Hutchison 3G Austria. "This is why the choice of the core-network supplier is crucial to our business plan."
