Nokias Services & Software unit grows and focuses its efforts
Continued growth in investments in key Internet services areas
Espoo, Finland Nokias Services & Software unit today announced plans to refine parts of its global research and development activities. While Nokia continues to grow its investments in consumer Internet services, the unit plans to integrate some of our content delivery services into a single service to create a better experience for consumers and to continue increasing investments into key initiatives. Nokias Internet services strategy continues unchanged with a focus on key service areas such as music, games, messaging and location based services.
Nokia has started today relevant local employee consultations to discuss these plans. These plans concern approximately 200 employees approximately half in Finland - working in the Services and Software unit. The aim is to find alternative solutions and work for as many employees as possible within Nokia, at which the company has a good track record from previous years.
This year we plan to hire more people into the Services & Software unit than the number of affected employees, so we expect that many employees will be able to transition to new jobs within Nokia, said Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President, Services & Software. We have made great progress with the initial offering this year and I see great potential going forward as we bring context aware Internet services to peoples pockets. These changes will strengthen our offerings and enable us to accelerate the delivery of new Internet experiences to market.

Press Release
London, U.K. / Espoo, Finland August 27, 2008
UKs largest 3G mobile network integration appoints technology partner
Mobile Broadband Network Ltd. (MBNL), the network collaboration joint-venture between T-Mobile UK and 3 UK, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks as technology partner for 3G network integration. Nokia Siemens Networks will provide a network consolidation solution, bringing environmental benefits, cost savings to the operators and improvements for customers.
Nokia Siemens Networks has been selected as the 3G radio network infrastructure supplier for the consolidation of the two operators 3G radio access network infrastructure under MBNL, in the process creating the UKs most extensive 3G network providing near complete population coverage by the end of 2009.
The contract has been awarded by MBNL, the 50:50 joint venture formed at the beginning of 2008 between 3 and T-Mobile UK to supervise the creation and operation of the joint network on behalf of both companies. The network consolidation agreement will significantly increase both operators 3G network quality and coverage, accelerate the provision of new high-speed mobile broadband services and deliver substantial cost savings as well as environmental benefits.
The first integrated cell site was commissioned in early February. Since then MBNL has concluded a pilot in the Leeds and Bradford area which successfully validated that the network consolidation technology will deliver the desired benefits focused on achieving nationwide 3G coverage.
Emin Gurdenli, Technology Director at T-Mobile UK, said: We are now moving ahead with the large scale consolidation of cell sites. A key objective was to ensure that we achieve scale and integrate quickly and smoothly, minimizing costs whilst quickly expanding coverage so as to enable a much improved service experience for our growing number of mobile internet and broadband customers. We believe that with Nokia Siemens Networks as our principal technology partner, MBNL will deliver on its objective of creating what will be Europes largest HSDPA network in record timescales.
Graham Baxter, Chief Technology Officer for 3 UK, said: High-speed mobile broadband is going to be a key enabler for both consumers and businesses looking for convenient access to Internet-based services wherever they are. This innovative network collaboration agreement will help to accelerate the adoption of new services in a timescale each of us could not have achieved on our own. It also enables us to cost effectively meet customer demand for wider coverage, faster speeds and greater capacity that is starting to arise as mobile devices become the most cost-effective and convenient route to access the Internet.

Although masts and the 3G access networks are being combined, each companys core network and T-Mobiles 2G network will not be shared. Both parties will retain responsibility for the delivery of services to their respective customers and use their own frequency spectrum. Nokia Siemens Networks industry-leading radio access solution will replace most of the two operators communications stations across the UK and equipment at the remaining sites is being upgraded and reconfigured for higher quality and capacity. The solution, featuring energy-efficient Flexi base stations from Nokia Siemens Networks, will allow a reduction the number of sites in the network by about 30 percent.
As well as network infrastructure, Nokia Siemens Networks will deliver project management, network deployment and managed spare parts capability, as well as care services to maintain network performance and increase its efficiency.
This contract is an endorsement of our successful partnership with the two companies and we are committed to supporting them in their growth objectives as well as simplifying the network and reducing their operating costs. Our role in creating the UKs largest 3G network underscores Nokia Siemens Networks leadership in managing advanced and complex network integration projects for the benefit of our customers, said Spencer Rigler of Nokia Siemens Networks.
Synergies in network operations will be achieved thanks to the leading-edge Multi-operator Radio Access Network (MORAN) solution from Nokia Siemens Networks, allowing their networks to function independently. There are several benefits of this unique technology including full flexibility while merging the two networks, the re-use of existing infrastructure and the reduction of the number of sites.
In addition to cost savings and improved network quality, the integration will also deliver environmental benefits as the Nokia Siemens Networks Flexi base station helps achieve power savings at site of up to 70% compared with traditional 3G equipment.
Nokia Siemens Networks is the market leader in network consolidation solutions and this contract further strengthens this position. Over the past several years the company has gained substantial experience in building and operating shared networks. Today, the only shared networks in commercial operation are implemented with Nokia Siemens Networks technology that offers the complete range of network sharing methods for 2G and 3G from simple site sharing to a fully managed network.
