Telecom Serbia chooses Alcatel for a UMTS field trial
February 3, 2004
Alcatel has been chosen by Telecom Serbia (Telekom Srbija), the Serbian
incumbent operator for a UMTS network field trial. Once completed, this
field trial will pave the way for the commercial launch of Telecom Serbia's
new end-user 3G/UMTS services in the coming years.
In the framework of this field trial, Alcatel will supply and deploy Telecom
Serbia's full UMTS Radio Access Network (UTRAN), including UMTS
Multi-standard Base Stations (Node Bs), a Radio Network Controller (RNC),
and the UMTS Operation & Maintenance Centre for Radio (UMTS OMC-R). In
addition, Alcatel will provide Telecom Serbia with full technical support
for the whole test period duration.
The Serbian operator will be able to test UMTS services from the second
quarter of 2004, covering the area of Novi Sad, in the North of the country.
"Telecom Serbia aims at providing the customers with the most advanced
services, by keeping the pace with technology evolution and optimizing
investments and operational costs. Alcatel was chosen as a partner because
of its wealth of knowledge and expertise for deploying UMTS technology and
its long-lasting experience with Telecom Serbia. " declared Mr. Drasko
Petrovic general manager of Telecom Serbia.
"This new agreement further strengthens Alcatel's partnership with Telecom
Serbia, one of the most active operators in the area," added Marc Rouanne,
Chief Operating Officer of Alcatel's mobile activities.
