Nokia to Support Launch of WCDMA 3G/HSDPA Network in Ukraine
30th October, 2006

Europe : Nokia and Ukrainian fixed line and broadband operator, Ukrtelecom JSC, have signed a three-year frame agreement for the supply of 3G core and radio network as the operator is extending its services to the mobile domain.

Nokia will support Ukrtelecom's Utel branch in opening the first WCDMA 3G/HSDPA network in Ukraine, which will enable the operator to provide new end-user services, such as high speed data transfer for WAP, Internet access, video calls, and streaming for video and audio.

The network will be launched in the Kiev area, from where it can be rolled out to other parts of the country. The deal marks a new customer for Nokia.

"We are proud to be the first to launch a WCDMA 3G/HSDPA network in Ukraine. Our new services will be launched first in the capital city, which means that they will be serving Ukrainian citizens, business life, as well as foreign visitors," said Stanislav Gursky, Director, Utel branch of Ukrtelecom. "Our cooperation with Nokia enables us to enhance our business, and their innovative solutions will help us provide a wide range of new end-user services with top performance."

Nokia will be the sole supplier of Utel's core and radio network covering the Kiev area. The contract includes Nokia's 3G radio solutions, such as the modular, high capacity Nokia Flexi WCDMA Base Station, and the Nokia High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) software. The network will be supported by the multivendor, multitechnology Nokia NetAct network and service management system. Nokia will integrate value-added services platforms and a billing solution in the network, and provide network planning, implementation and training services.

"We are delighted to support Ukrtelecom in entering the mobile business, which will enable them to expand their service offering and bring them new revenue opportunities," said Mikko Elomaa, Country Manager, Networks, Nokia. "In addition to helping Ukrtelecom develop their business, this deal is significant also for Nokia, as it will strengthen our position as a key player in Ukraine and in the East European market."
