Airtel has selected Nokia Siemens Networks as its managed services partner in eight circles of the country.

Under this 5 year managed services contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will manage and maintain Airtel’s 3G and GSM networks as well as iWAN (internet Wireless Access Network).

This next phase of managed services relationship will help Bharti Airtel achieve better network efficiency, simplify operations and deliver better quality services.

Nokia Siemens Networks is already a managed services partner to Bharti Airtel in these eight circles (Bihar and Jharkhand; Kolkata; Gujarat; Maharashtra and Goa; Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh; Mumbai; Orissa and West Bengal.)

These services specifically support Nokia Siemens Networks’ installed base of mobile broadband equipment for the operator. Nokia Siemens Networks’ products and services have helped the operator boost network and service performance at an optimal cost of ownership and reduced carbon footprint.
