Nokia Siemens Networks has won a seven-year network management contract from Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA). The contract includes service management for a number of key parts of VHA's mobile network (core, transmission, and radio networks) and equipment supply for its core network.
Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA) is a 50/50 joint venture between Vodafone Australia and Hutchison 3G Australia. VHA markets its products and services under the Vodafone and 3 brands in Australia. VHA has 6.895 million active customers at 31 December 2009.
Nokia Siemens Networks will combine two existing operations organisations and consolidate two core networks. The end-to-end approach to VHA's business includes domains such as valued added services, business support systems, and network operations. Nokia Siemens Networks will manage a number of VHA's third-party providers.
As part of the consolidation, Nokia Siemens Networks will expand the mobile softswitch (MSS) and home location register (HLR) - enabling VHA to evolve towards a single database for all its subscriber information.
"Simplifying our core networks and streamlining our overall network management is key to delivering a superior customer experience while achieving greater operational efficiencies," said Andy Reeves, chief technology officer at VHA.
