by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Nokia will be supplying, managing and maintaining core equipment and services for Vodafone's new 3G network in New Zealand.
Vodafone customers can enjoy the latest mobile services that this new technology makes possible such as simultaneous voice and data sessions.
3G efficiently delivers the speed and capacity to support rich multimedia services and brings superior performance to mobile users.
Vodafone New Zealand director of technology Jeni Mundy said that the launch of 3G enabled services is a huge milestone for Vodafone's 1.9 million customers and the New Zealand mobile market.
"Preparing for the launching of 3G enabled services has been an immense project for Vodafone and our key business partners.
The amount of work that's gone into ensuring our network can deliver the best possible experience to our 3G customers is quite mind-blowing.
Nokia has shown great commitment to our requirements to deliver quality network systems at competitive cost," Mundy said.
She also added that Vodafone was bringing the world's most popular mobile technology, 3GSM, to its New Zealand customers to ensure that they have the best and most advanced technology available with advantages such as an extensive roaming footprint.
In May 2004, Vodafone announced that it had chosen Nokia to supply its 3G network infrastructure to Vodafone Australia and Vodafone New Zealand.
"We are delighted to have worked with Vodafone to roll out 3G to New Zealanders.
3G is the most important step in a decade of mobile service evolution," says Nokia general manager and Vodafone business team, Asia Pacific Paul Tyler.
Nokia is providing the complete 3G core and radio networks, supplying, deploying and testing the equipment in the field.
Nokia is also providing 3G network management, monitoring and maintenance services in an arrangement known as Managed Services, which means that Nokia is running the network to Vodafone's specifications allowing them to move away from day-to-day operations of their networks and focus on serving their customers.
