Nokia Siemens Networks Inaugurates Service Delivery Center in Mexico

­Nokia Siemens Networks today inaugurated a new center in Mexico to deliver remote services to operators. The Mexico service delivery center will provide network planning and optimization services to operators in Latin America and in the long run extend these capabilities to other regions.

The new center joins Nokia Siemens Networks' existing global network of SDCs for optimizing networks remotely for operators. The company's four other SDCs are operating from Chennai and Noida in India, Lisbon in Portugal, and from Shanghai in China.

"With the surge in network traffic due to increasing adoption of smartphones and the use of data intensive services just as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), video download and IPTV, operators are seeking to improve customer experience," said Jose Luis Garcia, head of global service delivery for Nokia Siemens Networks. "We have increased our focus on optimizing the specific services our clients offer, to boot to providing network optimization, and this new center is part of that effort."

Nokia Siemens Networks' SDCs combine the traditional network optimization services with services optimization. Network optimization services ensure network performance for more consistent and reliable services with improved call connection ratio and data speed. Services optimization improves the overall performance of different services, applications and devices to enhance the customer experience.

"The telecom market in Latin America is growing rapidly with increasing demand for higher value services," said Eduardo Araujo, head of Nokia Siemens Networks in the Latin America region. "We already have strong partnerships with operators across the continent. Mexico is a high growth market and we estimate it is the region's second largest with more than 23%** share of the Latin Americans market in 2011. Our new Mexico SDC will help us furthermore strengthen our position in the region to serve our customer base across the Americas."

"We have already set up a Global Network Operations Center for network operations in Brazil, which was inaugurated before this year. The new SDC in Mexico furthermore enhances our global service delivery in the Latin American market," added Araujo.
