T-Mobile Netherlands has selected Nokia to provide managed services for their WCDMA 3G and GSM networks. With Nokia managed services, T-Mobile can reduce its operating expenditure and further improve network quality while freeing resources to their core business and customers.
Under its first managed services deal with T-Mobile International, Nokia is providing T-Mobile Netherlands with field operations and spare part management. Field operations include preventive maintenance and incident management, while the spare parts management is an essential part of maintaining high-quality network operations.
"Staying in control of our network is crucial to us, but we also needed more time and resources to concentrate on our core business. Nokia’s field operations and spare part management allow us to do exactly that. Our cooperation so far with Nokia has built our trust in their ability to provide managed services in addition to network equipment," says Bruno Jacobfeuerborn, Technology Director, T-Mobile Netherlands.
"In today’s competitive and dynamic marketplace, operators need to look for new opportunities to solve business challenges. Outsourcing technical operations can make operators’ business strategy more competitive, so we are pleased to take over the maintenance of T-Mobile’s network in the Netherlands thus helping the operator to reduce their operating expenditure," says Kari Sundbäck, Vice President, Networks, Nokia.
With its proven track record in managing networks on behalf of operators around the world, Nokia is able to support operators to enhance their service offerings and reduce costs. Nokia is a major player in the Managed Services business with close to 60 managed services contracts globally.

I’m a US T-Mobile subscriber. Waiting for 3G to launch is painful. Then again I know how tiresome the FCC is when it comes to matters of licensing spectrum.
