Telenor Denmark Taps Starent Networks Multimedia Core Solution

Starent Networks, a provider of infrastructure solutions that enable mobile operators to deliver broadband multimedia services, announced that Telenor Denmark has selected Starent's multimedia core network equipment for the carrier's 2G, 3G/UMTS and 4G/LTE networks.

Starent said this comes on the heels of Telenor Norway's selection of Starent to replace the core network elements of its mobile services infrastructure.

"This is a significant network upgrade. We are improving capacity, stability and speed and will be able to offer consumers better mobile broadband services. The agreement will build a network that is ready to meet future consumer demands," said Henrik Clausen, chief executive officer for Telenor in Denmark.

"Telenor Group is a pioneer in mobile communications and committed to providing an exceptional customer experience," said Ashraf Dahod, president and chief executive officer of Starent Networks. "We are honored to have been selected by them for this region and look forward to building out a high-performance, highly intelligent network that can meet the ever increasing demand of their subscribers."

Starent Networks will be providing Telenor Denmark with the Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN) and Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) for the 2G and 3G/UMTS networks and Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving Gateway (SGW) and Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW) for the 4G/LTE network on the ST series platform. Additionally, Telenor plans to use Starent's Network-Based Traffic Optimization In-Line Service.
