HELSINKI, Finland-Following two third-generation contract announcements yesterday, Nokia Corp. said it will supply another 3G network in Poland. Polkomtel S.A. has selected Nokia to supply and deploy the initial phase of its 3G network and to expand its existing GSM/EDGE infrastructure.

Nokia said the EDGE deliveries have already begun, and the 3G deliveries will begin this month.
