ESPOO (dpa-AFX) - Finnish network equipment maker Nokia Corp. (NOK) Wednesday said the company and Ooredoo Myanmar have completed the roll-out and launch of the first 4G service in Myanmar.
The companies have also extended their existing managed services agreement to incorporate the 4G network, aiming to ensure seamless network operations.
Nokia said it completed the initial 4G roll-out in under three months by upgrading Ooredoo Myanmar's existing 3G network using the Nokia Single RAN and Packet Core platforms.
According to the firm, this fast deployment time allowed Ooredoo to launch its high-capacity service in Yangon, Nay Phi Daw, Mandalay, and Bagan and continue the country's digital transformation.
Nokia has deployed the network across the Myanmar's largest and most densely populated Yangon region.
Previously, Nokia has provided its Managed Services expertise to Ooredoo Myanmar's 3G network, providing support from its global delivery center in Chennai, India, as well as in-country support in Myanmar.
