The two companies have worked together since 1991, when Nokia became the first GSM supplier to CSL. Nokia has supplied both core and radio-access equipment, as well as GPRS to CSL, which currently serves around one million GSM subscribers.

Hong Kong has always been a ‘showcase’ market in telecommunications, with one of the most advanced and demanding consumer environments. This is why our long-term co-operation with CSL is of key importance to us. Nokia is extremely pleased to see this relationship continue with Nokia playing a major role in CSL’s plans for success in 3G. explained Jouko Päivinen, vice president, Customer Operations, Nokia Networks, in a media release.
