throughout China
In anticipation of the upcoming increase in TD-SCDMA deployments in China, Nokia
Siemens Networks will increase its current strength of TD-SCDMA trained engineers to over
1,200. Nokia Siemens Networks has recently obtained the official approvals for deployment
of its TD-SCDMA equipment from Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Its
leading solution delivery capability in TD-SCDMA network planning, construction and
optimization positions Nokia Siemens Networks as one of the most competitive and credible
vendors in TD-SCDMA.
As the major international player with long-term commitment through significant financial and IPR
investment, Nokia Siemens Networks has always been in an extremely strong position and has the
scale, portfolio and knowledge to deploy TD-SCDMA in China. The company’s cutting edge TD-
SCDMA radio access solution portfolio guarantees high performance and can ensure strong
interoperability with its widely deployed GSM radio, core, operation support systems and application
platforms. The services experts will ensure on-time network launch, reduce technical and commercial
risks while ensuring higher efficiency, CAPEX and OPEX saving through network management,
optimization and performance assurance.
Says Zhang Zhiqiang, head of Greater China region of Nokia Siemens Networks, “China Mobile can
have full trust in our proven TD-SCDMA network solution as evidenced in the recently completed
Shen Zhen deployment. The Shen Zhen project is a strong solution showcase of Nokia Siemens
Networks’ capabilities in deploying and optimizing complex TD-SCDMA networks. Not only is it one of
the largest networks in terms of scope, but Nokia Siemens Networks had to meet rigid timelines and
high network quality requirements laid down by China Mobile.”
