Ericsson Wins Hungarian Nework Expansion Contract

Ericsson has been awarded a contract by Telenor-affiliated Hungarian operator, Pannon for the expansion of its mobile network, including deployment, integration and support services.

Pannon, which has more than 3 million subscribers, is Hungary's second-largest mobile operator. It recently reached an agreement with Ericsson to expand its WCDMA radio network, and deploy and integrate mobile broadband services using HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access) technology.

With this contract, Ericsson maintains its position as sole supplier of Pannon's 3G radio access network and will support the operator in its continuing evolution towards advanced HSPA-based services.

As part of this new, two-year agreement, Ericsson will provide turnkey rollout of the new network, including supporting services."
