June 07, 2000
Nokia today announced its Nokia Totem Vantage network planning tool, which is an advanced, cost-effective and easy-to-use network planning tool, contributing to the fast deployment of 3G networks.
Nokia's foresight in 3G network planning evolution has made it possible to develop a tool in-house specifically for WCDMA network planning, that is ready for deliveries now. This underlines Nokia's readiness to deliver and be first in the market with a complete 3GPP standards compliant WCDMA commercial solution.
Nokia Totem Vantage, which is part of Nokia WCDMA system solution, makes it possible to efficiently plan and optimise high-quality 3G networks. Nokia Totem Suite Network Planning Systems have an evolutionary approach to planning and optimising networks based on data and voice service requirements.

Combined with our leading-edge planning tools and our strong implementation capability already proven with GSM and GPRS networks, it makes Nokia a preferred partner for operators choosing their solutions for evolving networks.”
Earlier this week Nokia announced the achievement of a first major milestone of a project with SK Telecom, the world's largest CDMA operator, defining extensive planning guidelines for 3rd Generation IMT-2000 networks.
