The company said that its initiative ensures a smoother transition to long term evolution (LTE) technology, the emerging worldwide fourth generation (4G) technology standard, as it becomes available. The move complements TELUS' existing wireless portfolio that includes CDMA, providing access to a 3G High Speed wireless (EVDO) network, and Mike, its Push-to-Talk network and business service. The company plans to support its CDMA and Mike (iDEN) customers for the foreseeable future, providing a choice of wireless solutions.
TELUS has reportedly selected Finnish telecomms infrastructure company Nokia Siemens Networks, owned by the Finnish telecomms solutions provider Nokia (NYSE:NOK), and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, a provider of next-generation telecomms network solutions, to provide the equipment for its new wireless network.
As part of its investment, the company has entered into a network sharing agreement with communications company Bell, which allows TELUS to lower the cost, increase the speed of the build-out and enables it to offer a wide coverage for HSPA, using existing 1900MHz and 850MHz spectrum, the company said.
Initial capital expenditures for the new network are included in TELUS' original and unchanged 2008 wireless capex guidance of approximately USD1.9bn this year. For 2009, TELUS expects that total wireless capital requirements including those related to the HSPA build-out will be temporarily higher than historic levels at approximately USD750m.
