GSM/GPRS For Bahamas Tele

[Barry]

The Bahamas Telecommunications (BTC) announced that it will deploy Nortel wireless technology to extend the availability of next-generation, voice, data and multimedia services - improving the user experience for its wireless subscribers and making the Bahamas a more attractive tourist destination. The GSM/GPRS network enhancements will help provide a better customer experience by delivering enhanced services such as high-speed wireless broadband, m-commerce, multimedia messaging, and the ability to download large e-mail attachments, videos, music and games. It will also allow the operator to triple the capacity of its wireless network, extending service from Abaco and Bimini to include all the Bahamas' family islands by the end of September 2006.

With this investment, BTC will also extend enhanced roaming capabilities, further accommodating international visitors and making the Bahamas a more attractive destination, thus providing them service while on the island.

The GSM/GPRS solution from Nortel will enable BTC to achieve operational efficiencies through reduced network complexity and operating expenses as well as the ability to introduce new services quickly. This solution will also provide a foundation for evolution to advanced 3G capabilities to meet market demand, since the network configuration will be a GSM/EDGE, UMTS/HSDPA capable network.
