Orange: launch of UMTS proceeds according to plan - Focus on offers for business customers

Lausanne (ots)

Orange Switzerland has opted for a phased
introduction of UMTS services in Switzerland. In so doing, Orange is
focusing primarily on significant locations for business customers
with the highest possible, permanently available transfer
capabilities on the UMTS network.
The construction of the Orange UMTS network is proceeding
according to plan. By the end of 2004, the network will cover more
than 50% of the Swiss population. The network will be brought into
service in stages, starting in Zurich in the final quarter of 2004.
Selected business customers with UMTS data cards in the Zurich area
will be able to benefit as of this year from a far higher mobile data
throughput. In 2005, the launch of UMTS will continue in other cities
and regions and will also become available to private customers.
Orange has already selected the first series of UMTS mobile phones
at group level. Orange Switzerland will be introducing the selected
UMTS mobile phones in Switzerland in early 2005. As with the previous
Orange mobile phones (Signature Phones), the new devices have been
chosen for their high quality and easy handling for customers.
UMTS offers customers new broadband mobile access to data and the
Internet. Other uses include, for example, mobile video applications.
In the business environment in particular, UMTS and its uses in
association with WLAN will strengthen the trend of opting for
full-value business solutions with mobile devices, such as laptops,
tablet PCs, PDAs, etc. and radically change in-company work methods
in the coming years.
