DALLAS-Nortel Networks Ltd. said it has signed a two-year extension agreement with Dobson Communications to deploy GSM, GPRS and EDGE equipment.
This follows Nortel’s completion of Dobson’s EDGE deployments in 16 states across the nation.
Both companies also agreed to conduct field testing of UMTS equipment in early 2005.
Dobson said it plans to upgrade its network quality and coverage in a number of markets, including in Northern Michigan and other specific markets in response to predicted increased wireless traffic over the next two years.
