Mongolian operator MobiCom has launched a high-speed mobile broadband network in the country, supported by HSPA technology from Ericsson.

Ericsson has said that its HSPA technology provides fast data-transmission speeds, boosts network capacity and lowers response times for interactive services. The new HSPA-enabled network will allow MobiCom to offer a range of new services, such as high-speed mobile internet access, video telephony, multimedia messaging and other advanced multimedia services related to e-health and e-commerce.

Under the contract, Ericsson is the sole supplier of the WCDMA/HSPA radio access network. It is also responsible for network deployment and a range of professional services, including systems integration of MobiCom’s multi-vendor network, support and competence development.

Bolor Dorjnamjil, CEO of MobiCom, said: This launch reflects MobiCom’s continuous commitment to offering its subscribers the latest services and applications. MobiCom was the first operator to introduce mobile services in Mongolia and is now launching the country’s first mobile broadband services. Ericsson’s experience in 2G-3G network deployments and extensive support capacity make it the ideal partner for this project.
