Nokia and TIM set up Latin American network

Nokia will set up Peru's first commercial GSM 1900 for TIM in a deal worth approximately $100 million. This is the first time Nokia has dealt with TIM, the country's sole mobile network operator.

The two-year agreement will be processed in three different stages, eventually comprising full coverage in several Peruvian cities by June 2002. Such a deal signals the ambition of TIM to develop new market while adding needed infrastructure in the Latin American market.

Nokia will supply high capacity mobile switching equipment and high capacity base station controllers for enhanced coverage and quality of services. Nokia will also provide the Nokia UltraSite base station solution, increasing higher voice and data traffic in the mobile networks and evolution to the Mobile Internet era.

Thanks to this alliance with Nokia, our clients will have access to the most recent technology in mobile phones, as well as permanent access to new services offered by GSM said Fernando Rivera, general manager of TIM Peru . This new network is added to the GSM operations that we have in Chile and Venezuela.
