Nokia to provide nationwide TETRA radio network for Swedish authorities

 

The network, covering Europe’s third largest country, will be the world’s largest shared TETRA public safety network.

 

A consortium, led by Saab and including Nokia and Swedia, has won a contract from the Swedish government to build a professional mobile radio network for the shared use of all Swedish public safety organizations.  The consortium will provide and operate a single nationwide TETRA-based network that will replace the large number of separate systems currently in use by the Swedish authorities.

 

The Swedish government has allocated some 250 million euros for the “Radio communication for effective public safety” project (known by its Swedish acronym RAKEL).  Nokia will provide its complete TETRA system, while Saab AB will carry out system integration and Swedia Networks will provide operation and system maintenance.

 

Nokia TETRA System will provide uniform and seamless network-wide services as well as uncompromised security.  The network will have nationwide coverage, and it will be implemented in phases during 2004 –2009 starting in southern Sweden, followed by the Stockholm and Gothenburg regions.

 

“The Swedish authority network will be the largest shared TETRA network in the world in terms of geography, and winning this deal has decidedly been a major achievement for the consortium,” says Matti Peltola, Vice President, Professional Mobile Radio, Networks, Nokia.  “We are confident that our Nordic consortium is also the best choice for the citizens of Sweden.  The Nokia TETRA system will enable seamless communication between the Swedish authorities, and help them in their great responsibility to the Swedish people.”

 

Deliveries of the Nokia TETRA system, including digital TETRA exchanges, TETRA base stations, network management system, and dispatcher workstations will begin during 2004.

 

Nokia is the world’s leading supplier of TETRA networks and terminals and has demonstrated an unique capability to deliver multi-switch TETRA networks with the ability to provide all TETRA services uniformly countrywide.  Special features include: top-class communication security, fast group calls, sophisticated emergency call functionality, prioritized calls, advanced messaging and data communication services, including packet data.  The open interfaces of Nokia TETRA solutions enable seamless integration to command and control systems.  Nokia continues investing in TETRA radio technology and systems for the benefit of present and future customers.

 

Nokia is the world leader in mobile communications.  Backed by its experience, innovation, user-friendliness and secure solutions, the company has become the leading supplier of mobile phones and a leading supplier of mobile, fixed broadband and IP networks.  By adding mobility to the Internet Nokia creates new opportunities for companies and further enriches the daily lives of people.  Nokia is a broadly held company with listings on five major exchanges.

Notes to the editors

 

TETRA technology is a world standard published by ETSI for digital mobile trunking networks.  TETRA networks offer secure, digital mobile communication for professional organizations such as oil and gas companies, utilities, the transportation and public safety and security sector (police, emergency, civil defence, security services, etc.).  Data communication improves field operations by allowing users to access databases via their radios.

 

Most European countries have already chosen the open TETRA standard as the basis for their public authority radio networks, as have a number of countries elsewhere in the world.

 

TETRA technology minimizes the capital investments and the operational expenses of organizations because it allows simultaneous and independent use of a single existing network by many services, administrations and ministries.  TETRA enhances the safety of classified information by using encryption of the connection.  It also increases the effectiveness and the coordination of different services and ministries in crises and natural disaster situations through connecting independent Virtual Private Networks into one communication environment.

Notes to editors

 

On average EDGE bring three-fold faster bitrates than with GPRS. EDGE brings seamless coverage and capacity extension for 3G services, like streaming, high-quality video/audio clips, browsing and corporate data access. GSM/EDGE networks naturally operate in GSM bands and there is no need for operators to acquire new licences.

 

Nokia has a strong track record in implementing EDGE and has reached the global number one position in this technology. Nokia has delivered GSM/EDGE hardware to close to 70 customers in 37 countries.

 

Nokia has launched 11 EDGE terminal models and one eM2M model (i.e. Nokia 12 machine-to-machine model) by today and estimates to sell more than 100 M EDGE capable terminals by 2005.

 

EDGE is a smooth upgrade to GSM network, providing data services on average three times as fast and at lower costs compared to today’s GPRS technology.  All mobile services benefit from EDGE.

 

EDGE brings seamless coverage and capacity extension for 3G services, like streaming, high-quality video/audio clips, and true mobility to web browsing and corporate data access. EDGE is a truly global technology, part of the GSM family. GSM/EDGE networks naturally operate in GSM bands and there is no need to acquire new licences.

 

Nokia considers EDGE to be complementary to WCDMA.

PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

April 29, 2004

 

Wireless handset industry leaders join Mobile Imaging and Printing Consortium to drive new consumer printing solutions

 

The Mobile Imaging and Printing Consortium (MIPC) today announced that mobile handset makers Nokia, Samsung, and Siemens have become strategic members of the consortium. MIPC is an industry group founded to drive solutions and implementation guidelines for providing consumers with a simple and spontaneous experience when printing images taken with camera phones.

 

Consortium founders and printing industry leaders Canon, Epson and HP believe the MIPC is now strongly positioned to deliver guidelines enabling consumers to reliably and easily print camera phone images at home. The objective of the MIPC is to make these printing guidelines available during the second half of 2004. Existing connectivity technology standards and solutions such as Bluetooth™ wireless technology, printing from memory cards and PictBridge will be the underlying connectivity platforms for the consortium’s work.

 

“As camera phone resolution continues to improve, the demand to print photos at home will continue to increase and the MIPC wants to be at the forefront of providing consumers with the best possible solutions to simplify printing at home,” said Ramon Garrido, chairman of the MIPC and program director, Consumer Imaging and Printing, HP.  “The mobile handset makers’ contributions are critical to the consortium because of the collaboration required across the hardware, software and wireless technologies involved in creating mobile imaging and printing solutions.”

 

“We project continued accelerated use of camera phones for the next five years and believe that the number of consumers who will want to print their images at home will increase significantly by 2008,” said Jill Aldort, senior research analyst, InfoTrends. “As camera resolution and features such as optical zoom improve, more images will be captured, shared, saved and printed.  Work done by the MIPC will ensure that printing at home is as easy and reliable as possible.”

 

According to a recent report by InfoTrends, camera phone users are expected to print more than 5 billion of the total images taken in 2004 and that number is forecasted to grow to 37.2 billion by 2008, when 85% of all mobile phones sold is estimated to feature an embedded camera.(1)

 

“As a strong supporter of openness and industry-wide collaboration, we welcome and recognize the need for initiatives such as the Mobile Imaging and Printing Consortium,” said Mike Butler, director of Business Strategy and Development, Imaging Business Unit, Nokia. “Our global presence, expertise in mobility and understanding of consumer behavior provides Nokia with a unique perspective to ensure easy-to-use and reliable wireless printing solutions for camera phone users.”

 

“Our goal is to create a mobile world of digital convergence and we are always trying to develop new solutions for information and communication handsets through the use of advanced technology and design,” said H. Woo Kim, vice president of Business Strategy Team, Samsung Electronics.  “A major component of that convergence is in digital imaging and we believe that users will increasingly want to print the images they capture from camera phones.”

 

“Mobile Phones with integrated cameras are enjoying increasing demand globally. Intelligent applications enhancing the functionality of such mobiles and simplifying their usage are growing in
