Nokia helps the Greeks get HSDPA

Greece’s third largest cellco TIM Hellas has launched High Speed
Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) services in partnership with
manufacturer Nokia (NYSE: NOK), providing mobile broadband data services at speeds
of up to 1.8Mbps over its W-CDMA 3G network. Its new 3.5G platform
reportedly offers average actual speeds of around 800kbps. In August
Nokia signed an extension to its existing W-CDMA contract with TIM
Hellas to cover the supply of a HSDPA solution and its new ‘Flexi’ base
stations. Under the agreement, the Finnish vendor acts as TIM Hellas’
sole 3G radio network supplier and will also deliver a mobile TV
solution.
