Nokia (NOK) and Henan Mobile have signed a deal worth US$150 million to expand GSM and GPRS networks in Henan province.

This is the eleventh GSM expansion for Henan Mobile and will significantly enhance network coverage and capacity in the province, especially in the rural area.

Under the agreement, Nokia will supply Henan Mobile with GSM/GPRS radio and core network, including the Nokia MSC Server mobile softswitch.

The Nokia NetAct network and service management system will support the network, and Nokia will provide network planning, implementation, commissioning, training, and care services. Deliveries will start immediately and the network will be operational by the end of September 2006.

Through this expansion, we will be able to bring the excitement of mobile communications to more people in the province and prepare for future growth," says Yuan Jianguo, General Manager, Henan Mobile.
