RCC chooses Ericsson for CDMA and GSM overlays
August 20, 2003
Rural Cellular Corporation (RCC) has selected Ericsson to provide CDMA2000
1X and GSM/GPRS core and radio access infrastructure and services throughout
its network in the United States. The five-year contract is Ericsson's
first to include both CDMA and GSM/GPRS equipment.
Beginning immediately, Ericsson will install GSM/GPRS equipment in RCC's
Northeast Region and CDMA2000 equipment in its Midwest region. By deploying
both CDMA2000 and GSM/GPRS overlays, RCC will be able to offer advanced
wireless services compatible with its roaming partners for both standards.
"Ericsson's strategy to use common core platforms for our different technology
offerings makes sense for a number of reasons, but it is a rare distinction
to provide CDMA2000 and GSM/GPRS to a single operator," said Angel Ruiz,
head of Ericsson in North America. "Besides giving RCC a great deal of
flexibility in meeting its customers' needs for innovative, quality services,
Ericsson's common core platform protects RCC's investments in both CDMA2000
and GSM/GPRS as its network needs evolve."
"RCC has roaming agreements with both CDMA and GSM/GPRS operators, so
it was important for us to select a vendor that can deliver equipment
and applications for both technologies," said Rural Cellular Corporation
President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Ekstrand. "Ericsson's common
core platform across both standards will help us maximize our revenues
and control our costs."
