Nokia Siemens Networks in expansion deal for Hutchison Telecom Indonesia

Nokia Siemens Networks has signed a contract with PT Hutchison CP Telecommunications to strengthen its GSM/WCDMA network coverage in the islands of Java and Sumatra, and roll out GSM core networks in Kalimantan and Sulawesi. This contract supplements HCPT’s first network contract with Siemens Indonesia in 2005.

Nokia Siemens Networks has built a state-of-the-art GSM/WCDMA radio, core and transmission network in the islands of Java and Sumatra for HCPT. Under the new contract, Nokia Siemens Networks is commissioned to broaden HCPT’s network coverage in both islands, including network planning and implementation of another 2,800 base stations, Release 4 mobile softswitch and Media Gateways.

Nokia Siemens Networks will start to deliver its solutions and services in April and will continue to work with HCPT to accommodate major expansion plans over the next three years across all the islands.
