nokiasiemenslogo.jpgNokia Siemens Networks just announced that they’ll be supporting WCDMA/HSPA and LTE in the 700 MHz, 1.7 GHz and 2.1 GHz frequencies with their Flexi Multimode Base Station solution.

“License winners from auctions in the U.S. and Canada will be eager to deploy new networks and services as quickly as possible,” said Sue Spradley, President, Nokia Siemens Networks, North America. “We are confident that Nokia Siemens Networks’ LTE solution will enable service providers to deliver high-speed wireless services in the near term, while providing investment protection in the form of a cost efficient software upgrade to LTE in the future.”

With Verizon already announcing that they’re going to switch to LTE for their 4G network and their success in the 700 MHz auction I can’t think of a better match.
