Nokia Unveils 3G Service Creation and Execution Platform for Advanced voice and Data Applications

To give operators the ability to create 3G networks, Nokia has launched its 3G Service Creation and Execution Platform.  Operators will be able to create the service themselves, develop networks in co-operation with Nokia or outsource service development to 3^rd Party developers. The platform provides open Application Programming Interfaces, which allow an operator’s network to communicate with application servers run by services and content providers.

The Nokia 3G Service Creation and Execution Platform is based on Open Service Architecture (OSA) standardized by the 3GPP (3G Partnership Project).  OSA brings fast and flexible service creation and Internet content  to mobile communications networks.

Nokia's 3G platform provides:

• Seamless interoperability between different network elements and protocols making it possible to bring together 3G, WAP and IP access under a single service.
• An open interface that enables flexibility and scalability for fulfilling present and future capacity needs.
• Common Java application development tools, which offer the possibility of reducing implementation costs significantly and faster time-to-market.
