30th 3G Contract |
|
3rd June , 2004 |
|
This is the third 3G/UMTS contract for Siemens in Italy and the 30th for Siemens mobile worldwide, confirming the company's leading position in next generation mobile network infrastructure. With a world market share of 23 percent, Siemens numbers among the leading equipment suppliers for 3G/UMTS. In Western Europe, Siemens has received more 3G/UMTS contracts than any other supplier. Furthermore, Siemens is the number one worldwide in terms of network launches. Of the 22 3G/UMTS networks already in operation, 12 were built by Siemens and its partner NEC. "This latest agreement reinforces our strong number two position in Italy with a 30-percent market share of the mobile network market," said Lothar Pauly, a member of the Siemens mobile Group Board. "In deploying its 3G/UMTS network, Wind can count on the know-how of a partner with a strong Italian presence and leading expertise in 3G/UMTS worldwide." Siemens mobile's operations in Italy include a total workforce of more than 2,800 people, as well as two manufacturing facilities and two R&D centers of excellence, with the one in Cinisello Balsamo focusing on 3G/UMTS mobile networks. With this contract, Siemens is strengthening its partnership with Wind, which dates back to the late 1990s with the installation of Wind's GSM network. This latest 3G/UMTS contact also includes supply and installation of GSM equipment to complete and augment Wind's mobile communication infrastructure for 2G services. |
