Nokia and Beijing Just Top to build Beijing's government shared TETRA network for use during the 2008 Olympics
Nokia and Beijing Just Top Network Communications Company Limited
have signed an formal contract to build the first phase of the Beijing
municipal government's shared Digital Professional Mobile Radio (PMR)
communications network, using Nokia's TETRA system with IP
backbone. The shared network has been listed as one of the top 60 major projects for the Beijing municipality this year.
The shared network fulfils the dispatch communication requirements of
the "Digital Beijing " and "Digital Olympic" programs, as well as special
measures needed for Beijing's emergency rescue system. The network
will allow seamless dispatch services in all provinces around Beijing
and the Bo Hai Bay area, covering all venues for the 2008 Olympic
Games.
"We are very proud to make our contribution to 'Digital Beijing' and the
'Digital Olympics'," says David Ho, Vice President, Nokia Networks
China. "The Beijing Government Shared Network will enable the
Chinese government to realize its goals for dispatch communications
service for the 2008 Olympic Games. The network will fully meet the
requirements for the Olympic organizing committee. We firmly believe
that we have the full competency to successfully accomplish timely
equipment delivery, installation and construction, as well as after-sales
service and therefore provide safe network operation."
Under the terms of the contract, the Beijing municipal government
shared network will adopt Nokia's advanced TETRA IP technology. Nokia
will deliver the latest TETRA switching equipment - Nokia DXTip - as well
as base stations and dispatcher stations. In addition to network
equipment, Nokia will also provide its Network Deployment Package,
which covers implementation, commissioning and project management;
the Nokia technical support package, which maintains post-network
roll-out; and a package of training services to help develop staff
competency.
The TETRA network in Beijing will become China's largest and most
advanced digital trunking communication network with the richest
functionality. It will also serve as an important platform for both dispatch
information and wireless communication for another key project for
Beijing, the Integrated Emergency Response Service system. The
network offers a general data platform for government organizations in
Beijing, and with its unique VPN function can be used to build a VPN
(Virtual Private Network) for each organization. The result means that
each member organization has the equivalent of its own private
dispatching communications network.
The system will be implemented in the second half of 2003. The first
construction phase of the entire network, supporting 50,000 subscribers
and completely covering Beijing metropolitan area, nearby key counties
and major parts of the main highways, will be completed in the first half
of 2004. The second phase will be finished by 2006, when the network
will support 150,000-200,000 subscribers.
Nokia is the world's leading supplier of TETRA networks and terminals,
offering the most modern scaleable digital radio communication
solutions using IP technology for public safety organizations and other
professional users. Special features include: top-class communication
security, fast network-wide group calls, sophisticated emergency call
functionality, prioritized calls, advanced messaging and data
communication services, including IP packet data.
Nokia has a proven track record in delivering multiswitch TETRA
networks capable of providing all TETRA services uniformly countrywide.
The open interfaces of Nokia TETRA solutions enable seamless
integration to command and control systems.
