Nokia has reached a five-year managed services agreement to run Hutchison Essar's network operations in nine circles in
The agreement, for which documentation is being finalised, calls for Nokia to provide an array of solutions from its extensive services portfolio, including network planning, project management, configuration and optimisation, network operations and maintenance and the administration of third party vendor contract management. Nokia will also welcome over 600 Hutchison Essar staff into its Services business unit.
The contract deepens already strong ties between the two companies - Nokia is the supplier of GSM network equipment to nine of Hutchison Essar's 13 circles, making it the largest net work vendor for the operator.
Nokia's Managed Services business is a key part of its services business unit, and a core part of the company's drive to help operators enhance their service offerings and reduce costs. To date Nokia has 36 managed services contracts in 28 countries, and it expects this figure to grow in the coming years.
