Ericsson will help the transition of the technology within the Austrian market from business platform to customer handset.
With Ericsson, who is far ahead in third generation, we have found a perfect partner to build up the new UMTS network, said Dr Boris Nemsic, general manager of Mobilkom Austria.
We are looking forward to taking this major step into the future together with Mobilkom, the largest operator in Austria and our long term partner, said Kjell Johansson, president of Ericsson Austria.
This is our second UMTS agreement in Austria within a short time and is a further acknowledgment of Ericsson’s global leadership in 3G, and of our customers’ confidence in the quality and competence of our team.
Ericsson can add this to a list of another 26 such agreements within UMTS commerce. The company needs such agreements to reassure shareholders of its potential and growth as recent financial statements have heralded poor results.
