Telefonica | Vivo chooses Ericsson as supplier for 4G/LTE network in Brazil
(firmenpresse) - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 10/10/12 --
To cope with data traffic growth and expand its mobile coverage, Vivo -
Brazil's
largest operator serving 75.7 million mobile subscribers - has chosen
Ericsson
(NASDAQ: ERIC) to supply and implement a 4G/LTE network in the North and
Mid-
Western regions of Brazil, as well as the states of São Paulo, Minas
Gerais,
Bahia and Sergipe.
Ericsson is selected as supplier for Vivo's 4G/LTE network, which will
feature
Ericsson's latest RBS 6000 multi-standard radio base stations. This
agreement
strengthens Ericsson's position as primary telecom infrastructure supplier
for
Vivo and marks Ericsson's second 4G/LTE win in Brazil.
Eduardo Ricotta, Vice President of Ericsson Latin America and the
Caribbean,
says: "We are honored to be chosen once again to cooperate with Vivo,
supporting
their network evolution and innovation. This decision is a result of the
positive experiences that the operator has had with the successful
implementation of Ericsson's GSM, WCDMA and HSPA technologies in the past.
The
evolution of mobile networks is a fundamental step toward the advent of the
Networked Society in Brazil."
Under the terms of the agreement, Ericsson is also responsible for network
implementation, including network rollout, design and support services.
Ericsson has now signed 89 LTE/EPC contracts in 38 countries on five
continents.
