Globalive continues to move forward with rolling out their wireless plans. In addition, Nokia Seimens continues to build wireless partnerships in Canada.

The two companies have entered into multi-million dollar agreement that will see Nokia Siemens Networks provide “hardware and software such as the future proof, LTE-compliant Flexi Multimode Base Station, Radio Network Controller, Network Management and Service Assurance Operating Support Systems, along with a range of services including turnkey site acquisition and construction, network integration and implementation, optimization and managed services.”

Ken Campbell, CEO of Globalive Wireless said “Globalive Wireless will offer consumers a wireless customer experience and value proposition not previously available in Canada. For this, we need the robust and future-ready technology infrastructure offered by Nokia Siemens Networks. Their leading network technology solutions will provide for a lean operational model, a key benefit of building a new Canadian telecommunications company from the ground up rather than having to work through legacy platforms. We will be able to direct these cost savings to Canadians as one part of our overall value offering”
