Telecoms: Italy

Nokia Siemens Networks will be a Telecom Italia‘s strategic supplier for mobile Broadband Access Networks with High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) and Long Term Evolution technologies.

Under a broad cooperation agreement, Nokia Siemens Networks will modernize Telecom Italia’s 3G mobile network by installing its energy-efficient radio access solution based on the industry-leading Flexi Base Station.
Goals that Telecom Italia plans to achieve through partnership with Nokia Siemens Networks include preparing for the future Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology.
Nokia Siemens Networks’ multi-technology Flexi Base Station which is software upgradeable to LTE provides a smooth evolution path. Also, thanks to the small size and flexible deployment options of Flexi Base Station, the operator aims to reduce equipment footprint allowing better use of site space, and so making site sharing with other operators easier.
In addition, Telecom Italia aims to optimize investment in the transport domain with Nokia Siemens Networks Internet Protocol-based solutions.
