Nokia said Tuesday it will provide Canada's TELUS with a broadband network.

The Finnish mobile-phone giant will be providing the Canadian group with a digital subscriber line access multiplexer multi-service platform that has multi-megabit bandwidth capacity.

"This new relationship forged with Nokia enables TELUS to bring new broadband services to market faster," Ibrahim Gedeon, chief technology officer of TELUS, said in a news release. "Nokia's global leadership in technology and vision for next-generation networks supports TELUS' mission to deliver greater bandwidth and high quality IP solutions and services to Canadians at home, in the workplace and on the move," he added.
