NSN signs 750 mn euros deal with China Mobile and China Unicom

China's leading telecom operators, China Mobile Communications Corporation (China Mobile) and China United Network Telecommunications Corporation (China Unicom) have signed frame agreements to continue purchasing GSM, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA mobile network equipment and solutions from Nokia Siemens Networks. The agreements reinforce the vendor's ties with the two Chinese operators, who signed similar agreements last year as part of the China-Europe Purchasing delegation*.

“We are gratified that two of the world's fastest growing mobile operators continue to place their faith in us,” said Zhang Zhiqiang, president of the Greater China Region at Nokia Siemens Networks. “Undoubtedly, our well proven capabilities in deploying GSM, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and LTE networks — and the pioneering steps we have taken in next generation TD-LTE technology — have played a vital role in establishing us as the vendor of choice for these two leading operators.”
