JAKARTA (JP): Local cellular network operator Telkomsel has
awarded U.S.-based telecommunications company Motorola a contract
worth US$27 million to upgrade its nationwide GSM900 cellular
network.

Telkomsel said the technology provided by Motorola's Network
Solutions Sector would help Telkomsel expand its network and
services, which the company said it was unable to do over the
last two years due to the economic crisis.

Telkomsel, which has operated Motorola's base station system
equipment for its cellular services since 1995, plans to deploy
400 new base transceiver stations nationwide in order to increase
its subscriber base by at least 600,000 this year. (cst)
