Ramboll will supply masts and towers for the Swedish 3G network

April 24, 2003

The Danish company Ramboll had received a network contract from the Swedish 3G network operator 3G Infrastruktur Services AB (3GIS). The company 3GIS, which is going to build a joint 3G network for Vodafone, Orange and Hi3G, has just awarded Ramboll a contract to supply some of the masts and towers for the new network.

The contract covered the building of 3GIS's base radio stations in southern Sweden.

Ramboll's strategy of acting as turnkey supplier was therefore realised when the Swedish company 3G Infrastructure Services AB (3GIS) entered into a framework agreement with Ramboll on masts and towers for Sweden. Vodafone, Orange and Hi3G, all of which have a UMTS licence in Sweden, own 3GIS.

The three companies have joined forces on a joint network that will cover 70 per cent of the country. The companies will cover the remaining 30 per cent separately.

In December 2000, four UMTS licences were allocated in Sweden. The operators' UMTS networks must cover the whole of Sweden by the end of 2003. The three operators, Hi3G, Orange and Vodafone, are cooperating via the company 3GIS on covering 70 per cent of Sweden. In the remaining 30 per cent of the country, they must establish their own separate networks. One reason for this is that the more densely populated areas need more capacity and thus more transmitters and receivers.

3GIS stands for 3G Infrastructure Services AB and is jointly owned by the three companies. Telia and Tele2 jointly own the fourth licence.
