Unitech is all set to launch its GSM services in December this year under the brand ‘Uninor’ and it has finalised on Nokia Siemens Networks to be its network and infrastructure partner. It will initiate its services in six circles which will include Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.

Nokia Siemens Networks will also be responsible for network operations and maintenance as a part of the Managed Services contract with Uninor.

Stein Erik Vellan, Managing Director, Uninor stated that, “We are creating a new global telecom model. We call it the Telco of the Next Decade that leverages existing competencies in the market to drive cost and time efficiencies, superior quality and flexibility that future proofs our operations in a rapidly changing competitive environment. Our partnership with Nokia Siemens Networks will help us pursue our unique model in these six circles as well.”

Nokia Siemens Network intends to make use of its Flexi BTS platform to make mobile base stations. NSN claims that this technology will let it bring in the industry’s smallest and most energy-efficient mobile base station.  NSN will also offer consultation and network design services to ensure smooth interlinking with Uninor’s existing infrastructure.

BSNL’s GSM launch to be further delayed

BSNL’s GSM project is facing quite some issues in setting up the necessary telecom infrastructure. As per the standard process, the government owned telecom giant attracted proposals from various telecom equipment manufacturers for its Rs 30,000 crore GSM project. The big players in this race were: Ericsson, Huawei, NSN, Alcatel Lucent and ZTE. The bidding process was going smoothly until the Finnish telecom equipment maker; Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) was rejected by BSNL’s bidding panel.

NSN’s proposal was rejected because it had not submitted an experience certificate for the North Zone. (Experience certificate is required to certify operating experience in each of the four Indian Zones). Now, NSN has shot off a letter to BSNL claiming that the PSU has unfairly singled out NSN from the bidding process. NSN said that the certificate submitted for other zones was relevant for the North zone as well; in addition, the letter also said that if BSNL had to disqualify its bid, then it should have also rejected Ericsson’s bid since the latter had allegedly not given a separate certificate.

BSNL has referred this dispute to an integrity panel approved by the Central Vigilance. Two former Chief Election Commissioners — Mr T.S. Krishnamurthy and Mr B.B. Tandon — are the members on this panel.
