Korek Telecom engages NSN for packet core network elements

Iraqi cellco Korek Telecom has selected Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) to deploy its advanced radio, microwave transmission and packet core network elements. The operator has also renewed its care and managed services contract with the company.

Under the contract, NSN provides Korek Telecom with its Flexi Direct solution that simplifies network planning, lowers capital and operating costs for operators, and reduces data transmission delay, thus ensuring high-speed broadband for end users. At present, NSN is the only vendor providing fully flat architecture for HSPA in the global telecom market. As part of its radio network, NSN also provides its Single RAN (radio access network) platform, which is based on its compact and energy-efficient Flexi Multiradio base station, to support Korek Telecom’s 2G and 3G networks and ready it for the future with LTE capability.
