Tokyo, December 4, 2006 -NEC has been chosen as
sole supplier of radio link equipment when TeliaSonera improves its
transport network in the Nordic Region and the Baltic States. The
contract implies that TeliaSonera will modernise its existing radio
links with NEC's new Pasolink NEO platform.
"Wireless infrastructure is often more cost-effective than fixed
in sparsely populated areas. With NEC's radio link equipment, we
obtain a more flexible solution, simultaneously as we minimise both
our investment and operating costs," says H?kan Dahlstr?m, Manager
for Networks & Technology at TeliaSonera.
One of the advantages of NEC's Pasolink NEO compared with
previous equipment is the possibility to handle different
transmission speeds and interfaces with the same platform. This
makes it easier and cheaper to gradually expand the network when
increased capacity is required.
"That TeliaSonera chooses our technology demonstrates that we
have the capacity and reliance to supply solutions with the quality
and reliability required in major operator networks," says Mats
Almgren, CEO of NEC Scandinavia.
