Nokia has inked two new supply deals in China, one in Chinese mainland and one in Hong Kong. Jiangxi MCC and Hong Kong CSL Limited have chosen Nokia to spruce up their networks.

Jiangxi MCC will fork over $65 million for Nokia to expand its GSM network. The deal calls for Nokia to supply its core and radio-access network infrastructure, a Nokia Short Message Service Center and the Nokia NetAct network and service management system.

The Chinese operator is expanding its network in anticipation of increased demand for mobile voice capacity and improved SMS services, Nokia said.

Separately, Nokia has inked a deal with CSL to provide EDGE enhancements to CSL's GSM data network. CSL recently decided to deploy W-CDMA technology. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
