Ericsson has previously worked with Hong Kong 3G license holder, SmarTone on both their GSM and GPRS systems.

Our close relationship over the years has produced several industry initiatives. The launch of the first GSM network and the first dual band network in the region, the successful development of the radio capacity enhancement technology known as Multiple Reuse Pattern (MRP) and the first 3G trial in Greater China are just some examples, declared Douglas Li, CEO of SmarTone Telecommunications Holdings in a media address.

3G services mean that once again we are developing innovative and personalized services for our customers and adding substantial value to the evolution of telecommunications, added Li.
