Ericsson and China Unicom Sign CDMA Contracts and Conducting 1x Trial

date: April 30, 2002

Ericsson today announced expansion of their original Phase one contracts with China Unicom for CDMA equipment and services covering seven provinces in China.

Ericsson's total CDMA solution has been expanded in the Jiangsu, Anhui, Sichuan, Yunnan, Henan, Heilongjiang and Liaoning provinces and deployment has already been completed.

"Ericsson is committed to supporting China Unicom's continued growth, in network capacity, footprint and the introduction of wireless data services," said Åke Persson, president of Ericsson Mobile Systems CDMA.

In addition, Ericsson is currently conducting a CDMA1X trial with China Unicom. Ericsson's total CDMA1X product portfolio is built upon Ericsson's global 3G platform for switching, radio access, IP, services and applications. Focused on providing sustainable value into the future, Ericsson's CDMA1X total solution has been designed to provide operators, like China Unicom, with an easy, cost-effective migration path to Ericsson's CDMA 1xEV-DO (Evolution Data Only) and 1xEV-DV (Data and Voice) solutions. The CDMA1X trial is progressing as planned.

"We are honored to be selected by China Unicom to assist them in expanding their CDMA network," said Jan Malm, president of Ericsson (China) Company Ltd. "Ericsson has a long standing relationship with China Unicom and we are pleased to further strengthen our market leadership in China through this continued cooperation with China Unicom in CDMA."
