14 DAY TRIAL // Ericsson announced this week the successful completion of DNA Finland's 3G network upgrade - a move that will provide end users with a true mobile-broadband solution.
Signed in late December 2006, the contract includes a commercial High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) software upgrade, as well as deployment, integration and support services.
The completion of the network follows Ericsson's earlier installation of HSPA-capable base-station hardware. Ericsson's HSPA solution enables mobile broadband, boosts internet speeds, and decreases uplink and downlink delays, providing the springboard to future multimedia services.
Janne Laitala, Ericsson Country Manager, Finland, says: "The rollout represents a milestone in Ericsson's long-standing relationship with DNA Finland. It provides them with a market-leading solution, allowing them to offer end users an enriched experience with access to services such as fast internet browsing, file downloading and e-mail messaging."
DNA Finland is one of the fastest-growing operators in the country, with more than 1 million new subscribers since 2001.
The rollout will allow the operator to further expand its reach by providing a cutting-edge broadband solution.
