Siemens expands GSM network for China MCC
URL(s): www.siemens-mobile.com
China Mobile Communications Corporate Ltd. (MCC) and Siemens
Shanghai Mobile Communications Ltd. (SSMC) signed a contract
for the expansion of the GSM network in the province of
Hubei. The contract includes the delivery of the new Switch
Commander system and the overall implementation service. The
EUR 21 million project will be completed at the end of 2002.
To enhance the capacity and disposal ability of the MCC GSM
network in the province of Hubei, the Siemens Information
and Communication Mobile Group (IC Mobile) will deliver the
latest Switch Commander to the Chinese operator. With this
new core network operation system China MCC will be able to
meet the demand of the more than four million subscribers on
new mobile data applications. The investment will also
ensure a smooth migration of the China MCC GSM network
towards 3G.
The Switch Commander is the newest system for second and
third generation mobile telecommunication. It is a unique
solution of Siemens and ensures the interest of the
operators by protecting the initial investment and reduces
the operating and training costs. The Siemens IC Mobile
Switch Commander has an open system structure and
standardized interfaces, which provide the mobile network
operators with a high flexibility. It can be integrated into
existing networks and TMN (Telecommunication Management
Network) environment.
"The cooperation with China MCC shows the strength of the
Siemens IC Mobile position in Chinese market", said Dr.
Valentin Chapero Rueda, President of Networks within Siemens
IC Mobile. "We are glad, that China MCC underscores the
relationship by choosing our Switch Commander to expand
their network. This will protect their investment on the way
to a future 3G network".
Users topping 640 million have made GSM the world's most
successful mobile radio standard. With to date more than 180
international customers in over 90 countries, Siemens IC
Mobile is globally No. 3 among system suppliers for GSM
mobile radio networks. The Group has the same top ranking

The Siemens IC Mobile has succeeded to climb in only one
year up to position three from position six among the world'
s leading suppliers of wireless infrastructure.
With this positive development, the Networks division of
Siemens IC Mobile has successfully counteracted the
currently challenging market.
