Ericsson and Dobson Cellular bring GSM/GPRS/EDGE north to Alaska
November 27, 2003
Dobson Cellular has selected Ericsson as a key partner in upgrading its
TDMA digital wireless network in Alaska with 850 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio
access equipment. In addition to the equipment, Ericsson will provide
network and RF design, installation, engineering, testing support and
optimization services. The USD eight million deal is an expansion of a
contract signed in September 2002.
The two-year agreement covers the Anchorage, Juneau, Ketchikan and Fairbanks
markets and strengthens Dobson's position as the largest wireless service
provider in the state. In addition, it maintains the carrier's continued
seamless technology compatibility with its key roaming partners, which
include AT&T Wireless and Cingular Wireless.
"Ericsson looks forward to working with Dobson Cellular to bring advanced
voice and data services to its customers and to the customers of its roaming
partners," said Angel Ruiz, president and CEO of Ericsson in the U.S.
"We're also excited because it illustrates how advanced wireless applications
are permeating rural areas, making it truly possible for subscribers to
stay connected all the time."
"Based on our proven experience with Ericsson, we're confident that they
will be an excellent partner in helping us bring GSM/GPRS wireless access
to customers throughout Alaska," said Tim Duffy, senior vice president
and chief technical officer for Dobson. "We fully expect the result of
our collaboration to be the most powerful, feature-rich voice and data
wireless network in the state."
Ericsson GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio access equipment is fully integrated for
the 850 MHz band. That distinction makes it easier and quicker to perform
simple network maintenance and troubleshooting functions, thus reducing
the cost of network operation. Ericsson's GSM macro base stations, which
are easily upgraded to EDGE, represent more than 30 percent of all GSM
base stations installed globally.
