MALTA -- go mobile, a wireless operator in Malta, is providing new broadband mobile services such as video, TV and gaming powered by EDGE technology from Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT].
“By upgrading our nationwide GPRS network with Nortel’s EDGE technology, go mobile becomes the first mobile operator in Malta to offer high bandwidth applications like streaming video on a mobile phone,” explains Martin Zammit, senior executive engineering at go mobile. “The upgrade of our network is part of go mobile’s high-speed broadband network evolution leading to the launch of 3G services next year.
