T Mobile and 3 Network in £400 Million Broadband Deal

T Mobile broadband and 3 mobile broadband have just signed a new £400 million contract with the Nokia Siemens Network as both companies look to expand their UK coverage on their shared mobile broadband network. This huge deal is big business, and will help massively in boosting their joint operation named Mobile Broadband Network Limited (MBNL).

The MBNL joint company has managed to integrate more than 7,000 out of 12,500 mast sites as the shared network requires a lot less since the businesses have joined forces Once the integration project is completed in October 2010, more than 3,000 sites will have been turned off.

This new deal will see MBNL’s national coverage expand to more than 98% of the population by the end of this year, which is great news for prospective customers who demand not only a strong broadband signal at home, but also whilst on the move. The new multi million pound deal will also see the Nokia Siemens Network providing additional 3G radio network infrastructure alongside mobile network planning and maintenance.

Managing director of MBNL, Graham Payne, said -

With Nokia Siemens Networks, we are confident of providing the UK’s most smartphone friendly, high-speed 3G network to more people in the UK than any other operator.
