* Ericsson new supplier of GSM/EDGE and WCDMA/HSPA for TeliaSonera in Norway
* 4G/LTE expansion
* Delivery of Ericsson's multi-standard radio base station RBS 6000
* Norwegian mobile consumers to experience enhanced coverage and speed for
voice and data services
TeliaSonera, owner of Norway's second largest mobile operator, is modernizing
and expanding its network for improved coverage and speed. Ericsson (NASDAQ:
ERIC) is entering a 3-year contract to modernize and expand the northern part of
TeliaSonera's Norwegian network and to roll-out 4G/LTE in the same region.
Ericsson will, as part of the modernization process, replace the existing 2G and
3G radio base stations with its multi-standard RBS 6000 developed for GSM/EDGE,
WCDMA/HSPA Evolution and LTE.
The contract expands Ericsson's engagement with TeliaSonera in Norway, which
until now has been a customer within 4G/LTE. Ericsson will deliver the multi-
standard radio base station RBS 6000 and related services including network
roll-out, implementation and support. The contract also includes Ericsson's
microwave technology MINI-LINK.
Claes Nycander, CTO and SVP of Mobility Services at TeliaSonera, says: "We are
building a new world class mobile network in Norway with 2G, 3G and 4G access to
offer our customers an enormous coverage and speed improvement. We have selected
Ericsson to deliver the northern part of the Norwegian network based on their
high quality technology and competitive total solution."
Robert Puskaric, Head of Region Northern Europe Central Asia, Ericsson, says:
"It's exciting to see that TeliaSonera continues to build out 4G/LTE in Norway
and that they are modernizing and expanding their 2G and 3G network. There is a
massive growth in data traffic and modernization is needed to continue to offer
the best experience as new services are introduced to the consumers. We are glad
to be part of that journey and proud that we are now also TeliaSonera's vendor
within 2G and 3G in Norway."
