Sony Ericsson increases focus on GSM/UMTS/EDGE
June 25, 2003
Sony Ericssons application focused business strategy has started
to drive market share growth in both the Japanese and GSM markets. Sony
Ericssons recent GSM-products have made a strong impact on the market
and the recently introduced imaging phones for the Japanese market have
broken new ground in mobile imaging.
In order to strategically focus Sony Ericssons business on GSM/UMTS/EDGE
and to further strengthen profitability, the following measures have been
taken:
- North American CDMA mobile phone operations to be phased out
- GSM/UMTS R&D activities streamlined and Munich R&D-site closed
Sony Ericsson has decided to prioritize development of its GSM/UMTS/EDGE
business and discontinue the development of CDMA mobile phones for the
North American market. Sony Ericsson remains committed to the continued
development of CDMA phones for the Japanese market and CDMA machine-to-machine
modules.
In addition, to further increase efficiency and productivity in Sony
Ericssons global R&D operations, GSM/UMTS R&D activities
will be reduced to fewer sites. As a consequence, R&D activities in
Munich, Germany will be phased out.
In total approximately 500 employees will be affected in Munich, Germany
and at Sony Ericssons CDMA R&D center in Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina, USA.
