Nokia will supply mobile core infrastructure, including both packet core and circuit-switched core network elements, radio access network equipment and professional services – covering both deployment and support services for VIAG Interkom’s new 3G network.

The initiative will enable VIAG Interkom to further extend its services beyond its current four million subscribers through network sharing with other German operators.

VIAG Interkom CEO Keith Cornell said: We have been working with Nokia for many years as a trusted partner and they have always demonstrated a clear understanding of the need for a smooth network evolution in order that we can offer our customers the very latest services and pass on cost efficiencies.
