HSPDA, 3G, Mobile, Poland, CEE: Nokia is currently supporting Polish mobile operator Polkomtel which is launching its commercial High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network in the Warsaw area.

Nokia’s HSDPA solution is claimed to offer Polkomtel customers mobile data services at speeds of up to five times faster than current WCDMA speed while still operating the network in a cost-efficient way.

Polkomtel and Nokia have been working together for ten years. The latter has been supplying HSDPA under an extension of the existing frame agreement for GSM/EDGE and WCDMA 3G, signed in 2005. In WCDMA 3G, Nokia has had 63 customers to date.

* Polkomtel SA is one of three mobile telephony operators in Poland, marketing its services under three brand names: Plus, Simplus and Sami Swoi. It was the first company to offer UMTS (September 2004), MMS messaging and voice-based access to SMS messages to its customers.
