Europolitan Vodafone Buys 3G Transmission Equipment from Ericsson

date: August 30, 2001

Europolitan Vodafone has chosen Ericsson to supply transmission equipment for its 3G network. The agreement entails the supply of transmission nodes for Europolitan Vodafone’s 3G network in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Karlskrona.

The equipment will be used in the construction of Europolitan Vodafone’s 3G infrastructure in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö and Karlskrona (covering at least 30% of the Swedish population). No supplier has yet been chosen for the remainder of the infrastructure, which is being built by the joint company co-owned by Europolitan Vodafone and Hi3G and known as 3G Infrastructure Services AB.

"Ericsson has been one of our major suppliers for many years," says Europolitan Vodafone’s CEO Jon Risfelt. "The company has supplied us with several systems where quality and reliability were crucial, including most of Europolitan Vodafone’s transmission equipment for the GSM network and terminal equipment for our Wireless Office."

"We are delighted with Europolitan Vodafone’s choice of Ericsson as 3G equipment supplier for its network," says Ericsson Sweden’s MD Steinar Tveit. "We see this as consolidating our long-term collaboration with Europolitan Vodafone."

Transmission nodes are the units in the 3G network that connect the base station and switch networks via fibre cable.
