In addition, Siemens will also optimize Wind’s existing mobile network and replace some of its present equipment. The first phase of the agreement will run for three years and involve a total business volume of more than EUR 300 million. Siemens is now supplying three of Italy’s four mobile operators with 3G/UMTS network technology.
