Aug 30, 2010 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Movistar Chile, a Telefonica Group company, has selected Nokia Siemens Networks's HSPA+ technology to improve its network capacity and performance, and prepare for next generation mobile broadband, Long Term Evolution.

Nokia Siemens Networks HSPA+ technology and services will increase downlink speed to 21Mbps and uplink speed to 5.8Mbps data rates to devices like smart phones and data cards. It will also increase overall network capacity to accommodate the increased mobile broadband subscriber base.

Network implementation services complete the package, ensuring a fast delivery and better network performance. The contract also involves software upgrade and implementation, apart from network monitoring to ensure optimum network performance and service quality.

Oliver Flogel, CEO of Telefonica in Chile, said: "Network performance is a key differentiator in helping us retain a leadership position in Chile, which is a strong and competitive telecom market. Nokia Siemens Networks will enable us to offer a world-class mobile experience by improving network efficiency and protect our investments by providing a seamless evolution path to Long Term Evolution." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
