Nokia and CTi Móvil 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 Móvil, part of the América Móvil group, will increase its GSM/EDGE capacity to serve massive subscriber growth. The expansion will also improve the quality of service, as CTi Móvil has set the highest targets for the standard of quality for its subscribers. CTi Móvil continues its investments into 2006, and Nokia is fully committed to support CTi Móvil 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 Móvil 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.
