Ericsson further expands WCDMA network and services for Yuan-Ze in Taiwan
December 11, 2003
Taiwan operator Far EasTone Telecommunications and its subsidiary Yuen-Ze
have selected Ericsson to continue as sole supplier for its 3G network.
In this 3G expansion contract, Ericsson is delivering a fully integrated
GSM-GPRS-WCDMA solution that ensures all Far EasTone's customers a seamless
evolution from 2G to 3G.
The 3G agreement with Far EasTone comprises a complete 3G system including
WCDMA radio access network, core network and a wide portfolio of comprehensive
professional services for Yuan-Ze Telecommunications, subsidiary of Far
EasTone. Multi-vendor terminal verification services for 3G handsets are
also included.
The expansion of the WCDMA system will start immediately and will be
managed by Ericsson on a turnkey basis. Ericsson's super compact RBS 3104
and RBS 3203 base stations will be deployed. The small footprint and the
minimal volume significantly reduce site costs for the operator.
"The partnership between Far EasTone and Ericsson was proven successful
in the initial network rollout. Far EasTone was the first WCDMA operator
to demonstrate a video call and the first to receive the 'Qualification
Certificate' from the Director General Telecom," says Jan Nilsson, president
of Far EasTone. "Therefore, it is a natural step to continue the partnership
to ensure a cost efficient and smooth expansion. It is definitely a strength
for Far EasTone only having to deal with one network vendor when integrating
GSM, GPRS and WCDMA."
"After performance proven from earlier implementation, we are selected
again as sole supplier for WCDMA," said Jan Signell, president of Ericsson
Taiwan. "We are delighted to continue this partnership with Far EasTone
and the chance to also extend our services to KGT subscribers after KGT's
merger with Far EasTone. I am sure that Far EasTone with its strong focus
on innovation and Ericsson with its technology leadership will be a winning
combination in the advanced Taiwanese mobile multi-media market."
The WCDMA expansion contract with Far EasTone and Yuan-Ze Telecommunications
further confirms Ericsson's position as the world's leading supplier of
3G mobile systems. Ericsson has been named as vendor in 45 out of 85 publicly
announced WCDMA agreements to date and has a global market share of 40
per cent.
