Exide Technologies To Supply 3G Infrastructure Services AB
May 19, 2003
Exide Technologies, a provider in stored electrical-energy solutions,
recently secured a new contract agreement with 3G Infrastructure Services
AB (3GIS) to supply batteries for the Swedish 3G/UMTS. 3GIS is a joint
venture project involving Vodafone, 3 (formerly Hi3G) and Orange, responsible
for building a countrywide 3G network in Sweden.
According to the terms of the contract, Exide will supply Marathon M12V105FT
network power batteries designed to provide emergency backup power. The
new contract makes Exide the largest battery supplier for the UMTS in
Sweden.
UMTS is a 3G broadband, packet-based system for the transmission of high
volumes of text, digitized audio, video and multimedia. It will play a
key role in creating a mass market for high-quality wireless communications
worldwide. When UMTS is fully implemented, users of small, wireless devices
such as handheld computers and cellular phones can maintain a constant
Internet connection anywhere in the world, with global roaming and advanced
capabilities. 3G technology already is available in Europe and Japan,
and the equipment is starting to appear in the U.S. and other countries.
“By 2010, the market for high-quality wireless multimedia communications
could exceed two billion users worldwide,” said Craig H. Muhlhauser, Chairman
and CEO of Exide Technologies. “As one of the world’s largest manufacturers
of industrial and transportation batteries with an expansive global presence,
Exide is in the best position to accelerate the deployment of this much
anticipated technology.”
