Push to Talk Launched in Czech Republic

Eurotel Praha has launched the Czech Republic's first Push to talk over Cellular technology, using a solution provided by Nokia. Eurotel will follow this initial launch of technology with a full commercial launch in early 2005.

In addition to a complete PoC solution, Nokia is providing implementation and care services for the deployment of the solution. Nokia is also supplying Nokia 5140 mobile phones, which support PoC. Nokia has been Eurotel's main supplier of GSM network systems since 1996.

"We have always looked to Nokia for innovative end-to-end solutions," said Michal Herman, Chief Executive Officer of Eurotel Praha, spol. s r.o. "Nokia's support leading up to the launch of our push to talk technology has been key to bringing this exciting technology to our market. We strongly believe that push to talk will open up new communication possibilities to our customers."
