Siemens Extends EDGE Wireless Network

22nd April , 2004

Europe : Siemens Information and Communication Mobile (Siemens mobile) has been commissioned by mobile communications service provider DiGi Telecommunications to continue to provide EDGE technology on its network - now for the Klang Valley region to the north and south of Kuala Lumpur. Already in May 2003 Siemens was awarded the order to set up Asia's first commercial EDGE network for DiGi in the capital of Malaysia.

The new contract encompasses the delivery of 170 EDGE base stations in the area around Kuala Lumpur, in order to upgrade the GSM network in this region to a high-speed data network. The EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution) technology permits even faster data rates than GPRS and is another "intermediate step" from GSM technology toward UMTS. "We are working with two infrastructure partners to implement our aggressive expansion plan to upgrade the network to allow our more than 2.2 million customers with convenience, speed and flexibility of the EDGE enabled 3G services on our EDGE network," said Jon Eddy, Chief Technical Officer of DiGi Telecommunications.

"Following the first EDGE order last year in Kuala Lumpur, we are pleased to have the opportunity once again to be involved in building the next-generation mobile network in Malaysia. We see this as a successful confirmation of our partnership with DiGi", said Christoph Caselitz, head of the Networks Division at Siemens mobile.

Siemens mobile has already been awarded nine orders for equipping mobile operators in Europe, Asia and the Americas with EDGE technology.
