Nokia supports Orange France in launching HSDPA services
Orange France has launched the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services in Toulouse and Bordeaux, using Nokia's HSDPA solution. Orange will be able to operate its network more cost-efficiently with the Nokia solution, and offer its customers faster data services and an enhanced service experience.
"HSDPA will offer significant speed and efficiency benefits to us and our customers. We are delighted with the excellent performance of Nokia's HSDPA solution, which supports us in bringing mobile broadband services to the market," says Nicolas Roy, Technical Director, Orange France.
In addition to WCDMA 3G and HSDPA infrastructure, Nokia has provided Orange with radio optimization services for optimal HSDPA experience.
"We are extremely pleased to further contribute to Orange's expansion to mobile broadband services," says Damien Sante, Account Director, Networks, Nokia. "We believe that HSDPA will be yet another improvement to the experience of Orange mobile users, not only in terms of higher bit rates, but also because of a better latency, enhanced usability of current applications and enabling new types of real-time applications, in particular in the enterprise sector. This means, for example, that a typical music song can be downloaded in 20 seconds with HSDPA, while it would last a bit less than two minutes with WCDMA."
