Ericsson and Altel sign USD 30 million CDMA2000 1X contract
August 31, 2003
Ericsson and Kazakhstan operator Altel have signed a contract for CDMA2000
1X to deploy a nation-wide wireless network. The contract is valued at
more than USD 30 million.
Deployment has already begun with an expected commercial launch in Q4
of this year.
The contract for Ericsson’s total CDMA2000 network solution comprises
equipment for core and radio network; key applications such as location-based
services, Multi-media Message Service, Short Message Service and Voice
Mail Service; as well as a full portfolio of services including training
and network rollout.
“We are honored to be selected by Altel to assist them in rolling out
their nationwide CDMA2000 1X network,” said Åke Persson, president of
Ericsson Mobile CDMA Systems.
Ericsson’s total CDMA2000 1X portfolio is built upon Ericsson’s global
3G platform for switching, radio access, IP, services and applications.
Ericsson’s CDMA2000 1X total solution has been designed to provide operators
like AlTel with an easy, cost-effective migration path to future evolutions
of CDMA2000.
The first stage of the CDMA deployment in Kazakhstan includes the simultaneous
launch of Altel’s new network in the following 14 cities covered by Altel’s
network: Almaty, Astana, Karaganda, Temirtau, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Pavlodar,
Kostanay, Aktobe, Atyrtau, Petropavlovsk, Shymkent, Kyzylorda, Taraz and
Kapchay. Altel eventually plans to extend coverage of their CDMA2000 network
in Kazakhstan to cover 30 cities.
“As we bring advanced voice and data services to our customers, it is
important for us to partner with leading vendors like Ericsson. We believe
that their CDMA2000 solution will provide us with state-of-the-art technology
and expertise that will allow us to quickly and cost-effectively deploy
3G services and meet on-demand capacity growth,” said Kayrat Orazbekov,
President of Altel.
