Europe : Siemens Information and Communication Mobile (Siemens mobile) is to equip Spanish mobile operator Telefónica Móviles with 3G/UMTS technology. Telefónica Móviles has selected Siemens and Ericsson to provide equipment for the second phase of their 3G/UMTS network construction. A long-term partnership has been agreed with the two suppliers, and work on setting up the network in Spain will start very soon. By 2005, around 8,000 base stations will have been installed. Telefónica aims to invest around one billion euros in the 3G/UMTS network by 2006. With this contract, Siemens mobile has managed to win Telefónica Móviles as a new customer for third generation mobile phone infrastructure. Siemens mobile is supplying and installing all the infrastructure components required to set up the 3G/UMTS radio network. Telefónica Móviles wants to start offering its first commercial 3G/UMTS services in 2004. In the first phase of the network construction, around 1,100 stations were set up by the end of 2003. Siemens was not among the suppliers involved in the first phase. "We are particularly pleased with our 26th 3G/UMTS order, as with Telefónica Móviles we have managed to win the largest Spanish mobile operator as a new 3G/UMTS customer", comments Lothar Pauly, Board Member of Siemens Information and Communication Mobile. "We are thus reinforcing our leading position in next-generation mobile networks."
