Cambodia’s Cellcard has engaged Nokia to expand and modernize the operator’s 3G and LTE networks to help meet surging mobile broadband demand.

As part of the agreement, Nokia will deploy around 1,500 new cell sites to expand the operator’s mobile broadband reach. Cellcard first launched LTE in Phnom Penh in 2015 and has since been expanding the network to other areas.

Nokia will also provide its global services and Single RAN technology to allow Cellcard to host simultaneous 2G, 3G and 4G operations on a single platform, as well as IP edge routers to modernize the network in preparation for the arrival of 5G and the IoT.

Cellcard will also use a Nokia microwave packet radio platform to help transform its legacy microwave transport network to keep up with Cambodia’s booming data consumption. The operator will meanwhile migrate its billing platform to Nokia’s convergent charging and billing solution SurePay.

“We are proud to work with Nokia in our initiative to offer the best LTE coverage and services to our subscribers,” Cellcard CEO Ian Watson said.

“The expansion of our state-of-the-art mobile broadband network will play a critical role in helping the government enable Cambodians to take advantage of mobile broadband. Nokia’s proven expertise will enable us to provide better coverage and quality of services to our subscribers.”
