Zain successfully trials HSPA+ in a live 3G network
Zain Saudi Arabia has concluded trials of a Nokia Siemens Networks supplied Internet-HSPA (I-HSPA) software upgrade within Zain's existing radio access network. The trial introduced a simple, flat architecture demonstrating how traffic can bypass the Radio Network Controller (RNC) and the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN), to deliver improved data transmission speeds. Because of the re-routing, there is no need to build in additional capacity, in effect reducing the OPEX and CAPEX. more

Taiwanese Mobile Phone Market Expected to Reach 7.1 Million Units in 2007
According to MIC (Market Intelligence Center), an ICT industry research institute based in Taipei, the scale of the Taiwanese mobile phone market is expected to reach 7.1 million units for the full-year 2007, down 2% in comparison with 2006. Sales volume in the second quarter of 2007 is expected to reach 1.7 million units. Due to the continuing demand of the NCC (National Communications Commission) for mobile operators to cut their 2G voice call rates, mobile operators will face challenges in bolstering their revenues. Therefore, in 2007 they will focus their effort on accelerating popularity of wcdma and HSDPA services, creating the conditions for expanded use of mobile Internet access, as well as increasing sales of value-added services other than SMS and ringback tones. more
