Ericsson partners with HP to drive mobile networking
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Bilateral reseller agreement opens up enterprise market opportunities beyond
Ericsson's carrier-grade Wi-Fi and provides go-to-market opportunities for
Ericsson's industry-leading small cells through HP's global enterprise
channels
* Leverages HP's acquisition of Aruba Networks through integration of HP's
enterprise WLAN technology into Ericsson RBS 6402 picocell
Global leaders in the mobile and enterprise industries, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC),
Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ) and Aruba Networks, an HP company, are joining
forces to drive innovation in mobile networking. The companies will bring to
market a ground-breaking set of Wi-Fi and LTE solutions providing customers with
ubiquitous voice and data connectivity.
There is a rapidly growing need to maximize the benefits of licensed and
unlicensed spectrum operating together in the Enterprise. To capture this
business opportunity, Ericsson is incorporating Aruba's 802.11ac enterprise Wi-
Fi technology into the Ericsson RBS 6402 indoor picocell. Carrying the Ericsson
brand, the solution will work seamlessly with the rest of the Aruba Wi-Fi
portfolio and with the Ericsson radio access network to deliver users pervasive
connectivity indoors.
Ericsson and HP have also signed bilateral resale agreements. Ericsson can offer
Aruba's enterprise Wi-Fi and connectivity solutions along with Ericsson's
portfolio of mobility solutions and global services to customers worldwide.
Additionally, these agreements allow HP to resell Ericsson's industry-leading
licensed band indoor small cell solutions, and bring the full value of licensed
and unlicensed mobile networking to HP's global base of enterprise customers.
The partners intend to collaborate in joint market initiatives to address
opportunities for indoor coverage and mobility for enterprises and operators,
making effective use of both licensed and unlicensed technologies and frequency
bands.
Antonio Neri, Executive Vice President and General Manager for HP's Enterprise
Group, says: "This expansion of our existing partnership with Ericsson will
allow HP to deliver more solutions to meet our customers' growing needs for
productivity in the workplace. Ericsson's global scale and market leadership in
building mobile infrastructures with operators worldwide is an ideal complement
to Aruba Networks' enterprise-wide networking solutions.Together we expect to
transform the way mobile networks are deployed in order to stay ahead of the
pace of mobile requirements."
Arun Bansal, Senior Vice President and Head of Business Unit Radio, Ericsson,
says: "HP and Ericsson already have a successful track record working together.
With the addition of Aruba Networks, HP has leap-frogged competitors, combining
end-to-end enterprise solutions and global reach with innovation and market
share. It's a powerful combination and a perfect complement to Ericsson's
leadership in mobile infrastructure as we evolve to address new operator and
enterprise opportunities."
