Motorola Wins UMTS Contract in Andorra4 October 2005
Motorola, Inc.
(NYSE: MOT) announced today that it signed a 3G contract with Andorran
operator, Servei de Telecomunicacions d'Andorra (STA), for a Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) network. The network deployment with
Andorra's only network provider is planned to commence in October 2005 and
will include Motorola's network optimization and support services. It will
represent a true evolution for the principality in terms of mobile network
capacity, service capabilities and speed.
With Motorola's high performance, cost effective UMTS network, STA will be
able to provide its Andorran subscribers and 'roaming' visitors with
innovative, high-speed 3G services. In addition, STA will be able to offer
its customers an excellent quality of service as Motorola's UMTS solutions
offer world class performance indicators comparable to high-performing GSM
levels.
Says Xavier Palacios, CEO, STA: "It is well known that approximately
80 percent of Andorra's GDP is generated through tourism. So, in addition to
the service benefiting the 70,000 citizens who permanently reside in the
country, it will also help us to provide a high performance 3G service to the
approximately nine million tourists who come to the principality every year.
In a highly competitive tourist environment, this is yet another major asset
we will now be able to offer visitors to the country."
"The UMTS market continues to grow, and this agreement reflects another
step in Motorola's success and commitment to 3G in Europe," added Margaret
Rice-Jones, corporate vice president and region management, Motorola Networks
EMEA. "Motorola's innovative UMTS solution and integration capabilities,
combined with our technical strength gives us a commercial advantage when
dealing with STA's requirements and those of its subscribers."
This 3G contract builds on an existing long-term relationship between the
two companies, through which Motorola supplied STA with a 2G GSM network.
