Ericsson chosen as 2G and 3G supplier to Maxis in Malaysia
December 4, 2003
Ericsson has been selected by Maxis Communications (Maxis) as its new
wireless partner for 2G and 3G deployment to ensure the smooth evolution
of Maxis' network to new technologies. Ericsson will upgrade Maxis' present
2G network, as well as prepare networks in high growth areas for future
3G deployment to ensure a fully integrated GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA solution.
The contract with Maxis covers both 2G and 3G core and radio access network.
In addition to infrastructure supply, Ericsson will provide a comprehensive
portfolio of professional services including network design and systems
integration.
Ericsson will also set up a joint Application Development Environment
with Maxis to jumpstart the development of exclusive multimedia products
and services for its customers, in particular those which take advantage
of streaming capabilities such as interactive TV, live concerts and sports,
news-on-demand, and many more.
"We were tireless in our vendor evaluation process conducted over the
past year," said Dato' Jamaludin Ibrahim, Chief Executive Officer of Maxis.
"We wanted a partner that was not only leading in new technologies, but
also provided the best commercial proposition."
"In all that we do, our ultimate objective is to benefit our customers.
We are focused on further improving network quality and coverage, and
to constantly offer our customers new and exciting products and services.
I am glad to affirm that this is made possible by new technologies and
our valued new partnership with Ericsson," he said.
The solution that Ericsson is delivering is designed to support Maxis'
immediate needs for improved network services, while at the same time,
providing the necessary infrastructure for broader, integrated next-generation
services.
"We are honored to be chosen by Maxis as their infrastructure partner
for the enhancement and upgrading of its 2G network and 3G deployment,
said Mats H Olsson, president and country manager of Ericsson Malaysia.
"As the network migrates to offer 3G services, we want Maxis customers
to enjoy seamless, enhanced quality mobile data, multimedia and mobile
Internet services which will enhance their lifestyles."
"With this approach, we believe that Maxis will have a strong foundation
for the evolution of its network to offer new and innovative services
in the future in line with evolving customer demands. We are confident
that this is a 3G success in the making, and we look forward to a long-term
and strategic partnership," he added.
