Ericsson Wins Malaysian HSDPA Contract
Ericsson has been selected by Malaysia's Maxis Communications Berhad (Maxis), to expand and upgrade its WCDMA/HSPA network.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will supply, integrate and deploy radio access network equipment and deliver radio optimization services. Implementation has commenced and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
Jon Eddy, Chief Operating Officer at Maxis, says: "We are aiming to expand our broadband footprint through this high-quality network while also supporting the government's national broadband plan. Maxis broadband is now widely available in Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Bahru. By extending our broadband services to more areas, we can address the shortage of residential broadband access while making broadband affordable and reliable. Ericsson is a strong partner in helping us to realize these ambitions, including our aim to become a major broadband player in the country."
