As you know that the 3G auction started off and hopefully we can enjoy it by the end of this year. According to news Nokia Siemens Networks is the first one to start manufacturing 3G mobile communications infrastructure, at their Chennai facility. They’re the first in the country to manufacture 3G products locally. Urs Pennanen, head of the India region at Nokia Siemens Networks said,“India is not just a high-growth market but also an innovation hub for us. Our manufacturing operations in India reflect our unwavering focus on the country and enhance our proximity to our customers".
“With 3G licenses underway and the country taking huge strides in telecommunications, operators require a local manufacturing partner. This is definitely the right time and place to begin 3G manufacturing for India.” The first batch of LTE-ready 3G base stations rolled out of the Chennai facility last week. The company has set up 3G test labs in the country and has trained 3200 Indian field engineers to support 3G roll-outs. Herbert Merz, head of operations for Nokia Siemens Networks said, "While the products manufactured here are intended for both local and global markets, the demands of the Indian market will be given priority in the manufacturing decisions,”. “With 3G manufacturing capabilities in the country, we will be able to facilitate a faster time to market of 3G services for our customers since all key elements, including production, distribution, logistics and remote delivery, will be taken care of locally.”
The company’s Global Network Solutions Centers (GNSC's) in Noida and Chennai are fully equipped to manage 3G networks remotely. These GNSCs already serve 27 3G operators globally, maintaining, operating and optimizing their networks, which support millions of subscribers across the globe.
Nokia Siemens Networks will initially manufacture radio frequency modules and system modules, ramping up production for both these products by almost three-fold towards the latter half of the year. In addition, the company plans to commence production of transport modules and next-generation microwave radios from the second half of 2010, as well as increase its 3G manufacturing headcount from 75 to 210 by the third quarter 2010.
