Nokia and CTi Movil Sign Expansion Deal for GSM/EDGE Networks in Argentina

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and
CTi Movil Argentina have signed a deal for the expansion of GSM/EDGE networks
to Argentina, including large investments to all regions of the country. The
expansions are to be implemented before end of 2005, and deliveries have
already begun.
In this latest expansion with Nokia, CTi Movil, part of the America Movil
group, will increase its GSM/EDGE capacity to serve massive subscriber
growth. The expansion will also improve the quality of service, as CTi Movil
has set the highest targets for the standard of quality for its subscribers.
CTi Movil continues its investments into 2006, and Nokia is fully committed
to support CTi Movil in its objective to continue providing the highest
quality mobile services in Argentina.
In addition to GSM/EDGE radio technology, Nokia is supplying the latest
3GPP Release 4 MSC Server mobile softswitching technology. This is the first
Release 4 MSC Server delivery to Argentina, and prepares the CTI Movil
network for the entry of 3G technology. Nokia will also provide a wide range
of services, including project management, and implementation, planning and
optimization services for fast rollout of the network expansion. Also
included are care, hardware and training services, as well as operations
support services to keep the solution running at peak performance. The system
is supported by the Nokia NetAct(TM), the only fully featured, multi-vendor,
multi-technology operations support system on a single platform.
The implementation of the most modern switching technology has so far
been carried out in the regions of Buenos Aires, Neuquen, Junin, Rosario, San
Vicente and Cordoba as the first steps toward rolling out this technology all
over Argentina.
Nokia remains the main supplier of GSM/EDGE radio network equipment to
CTi Movil Argentina, and also delivers the latest switching technology to CTI
Movil's networks in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, including also the Nokia
MSC Server to Paraguay.
"We are delighted to continue our successful cooperation with CTi Movil
in supporting its tremendous investment project into Argentina, one of the
most dynamic markets in Latin America," says Fernando Terni, Vice President,
Latin America, Networks, Nokia. "This expansion is further evidence of
America Movil group's faith in Nokia's ability to deploy and implement
GSM/EDGE equipment of the highest standard."
