Nokia makes gains with expanded Mobily managed services deal

Mobily has commissioned Nokia Networks for managing its network operations for a further five years. In addition, Nokia Networks will expand the operator’s 2G, 3G, and 4G (TD LTE, FDD LTE) mobile broadband networks, becoming the main radio network supplier for the operator. These projects will ensure further improved voice and data services for Mobily’s customers.

Nokia Networks has been a managed services partner to Mobily for the last three years. This second managed services contract also covers the central region that has been served by other vendors until now, expanding its managed services footprint in Mobily. With the network expansion deal, Nokia Networks also expands its radio footprint, providing TD-LTE radio technologies in the central region.

As part of the deal, Nokia’s managed services capabilities such as network optimisation, operations and maintenance services will be provided to Mobily.
