* Meets Norwegian subscribers' expectations and demand for higher speed and
capacity, enabling more data-intense applications and services
* Deal includes Ericsson RBS 6000 family of base stations, software network

Tele2 Norway and Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) have signed an agreement for next-
generation nationwide coverage. Under the contract Ericsson will also upgrade
and expand Tele2's existing 2G and 3G networks in Norway, becoming the main
vendor for the radio access solutions for all standards. The agreement supports
Tele2 Norway's strategy to advance its market position, be in the forefront and
move quickly with its new offerings to consumers.
The deal includes multi-standard radio base station equipment from the Ericsson
RBS 6000 family, LTE RAN software, upgrade of existing 2G and 3G access network
software and upgrade of core solutions. Services will also be a key part of the
upgrade.
Robert Puskaric, President of Region Northern Europe and Central Asia, Ericsson
says: "We started a strategic partnership with Tele2 in Norway in 2008 and this
development is an important milestone. Ericsson will now become the main
nationwide network partner for 2G and 3G expansion, as well as build-out of 4G.
We are committed to provide enhanced mobile experience for Tele2's subscribers
across the country."
The Norwegian government is planning to hold a national frequency auction in
December 2013, aiming to secure better competition in the Norwegian mobile
market.
The recently published Ericsson Mobility Report predicts that in five years 60
percent of the world's population will to be covered by LTE. Ericsson has
delivered more than 150 LTE/EPC networks worldwide, of which more than 80 have
gone live commercially.
