by Mark Sutton on Wednesday, 16 April 2008

Wataniya Telecom Algerie (WTA) has signed an agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks to modernise its core network.

Nokia Siemens will deploy its 3GPP mobile softswitching solution for the operator, which will help reduce opex and allow WTA to deploy new services more rapidly.

Joseph Ged, CEO for Wataniya Telecom Algerie commented: "Wataniya Telecom Algeria is happy to extend its cooperation with Nokia Siemens Networks by selecting its MSC Server System for our network growth and modernization. The development of our core network is crucial to WTA's future success as our call traffic continues to increase. Implementing Nokia Siemens Networks 3GPP Release 4 architecture will improve our overall network capacity, better utilize network resources and optimize the costs of providing state-of-the-art services to our customers."
