A few states in India are all set to receive an absolute treat. Aircel has joined forces with Nokia Siemens Networks in order to offer and manage radio as well as core network and services in three states. The offering that resulted thanks to this partnership is all part of a deal that is worth more than 300 million USD.
“At Aircel, we have set ourselves ambitious goals to become not only a strong nationwide service provider, but also the operator of choice for millions of Indian subscribers with our proposition of high-quality services. With Nokia Siemens Networks as our partner, we have launched networks in record time while delivering superior service quality and end-user experience to our customers. We are confident that the company will help us efficiently realize our targets yet again,” explained Gurdeep Singh, chief operating officer, Aircel.
“Aircel has a relentless focus not only on extending its offerings to many more users in the country, but also on providing them unmatched voice, data and value-added services. Nokia Siemens Networks is committed to supporting Aircel in its endeavor to offer differentiated services in India’s fast-growing and intensely competitive market with our extensive products, solutions and services portfolio,” commented Urs Pennanen, head of the Indian region at Nokia Siemens Networks.
The three Indian states in question here are Haryana, Punjab, and Rajasthan. The inhabitants of these places will shortly experience great GSM services from Aircel. The company has opted for Nokia Siemens Networks to provide the GSM network as well as manage it for the next four years. It will unfurl quick and cost-effect radio, core and microwave network equipment. By doing so, Aircel’s carbon footprint is reduced and also prepared to unveil 3G services in the future.
Nokia Siemens Networks is all set to offer its Flexi EDGE Base Station and IP-ready FlexiHybrid Microwave radio products. The company will also bring to the three cities its
mobile softswitch core network, NetAct network management system and NetViewer element manager. A GSM network and similar services were provided by Nokia Siemens Networks to Aircel in many cities like Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi.
