The agreement is the result of Three Ireland choosing to upgrade the operations of its newly expanded radio access network by working with a single managed service supplier. Nokia will offer a simplified management structure across all equipment, from different vendors, using its innovative network management tools, processes and expertise.

Nokia will also leverage the leading network management expertise of its Global Delivery Center in Lisbon, Portugal. From this central location, Nokia will provide real-time remote support to manage the new consolidated radio network, enabling additional network technologies to be implemented quickly to deliver the highest quality of service for Three Ireland's customers. In addition, Nokia will provide local in-country management to ensure that the customer communication is seamless.

This agreement extends the company's existing network management contract. Nokia will also extend its NetAct operations support system to intelligently capture and process relevant network insights, providing full visibility and advanced network management across the expanded network.

"We are committed to delivering the best possible service for our customers. By moving to one managed services supplier across our radio access network, we will have a more transparent structure, simplifying operations and enhancing network performance," said David Hennessy, Chief Technology Officer at Three Ireland.

"Nokia is very pleased to continue our long standing relationship with Three Ireland. With this deal we show our strength in multi-vendor managed services and our ability to swiftly implement the centralized managed services infrastructure that many operators want to achieve. By choosing Nokia's service, Three Ireland can ensure that its customers receive the highest network availability and best quality service," said John Ward, customer business team head, Hutchison UK and Ireland at Nokia.
