September 30, 1996
Multiregional Transit Telecom of Russia and Nokia Telecommunications have signed a frame agreement for the supply of Nokia’s NMT 450 MTX switches to Russia during 1996 - 1997. The Nokia switches will be delivered to operators in different cities in Russia where Multiregional Transit Telecom has its partners. The value of the contract is approximately USD 15 million.
- NMT 450 technology is suitable and cost-efficient system for our country. The Russian operators have roaming agreement with Swedish, Norwegian and Danish PTTs.
