Ericsson has been chosen as sole supplier by Mozambican operator mCel for the expansion and upgrade of its Mobile Packet Backbone Network solution (Mobile-PBN). The contract includes Redback's SmartEdge products, and is set to boost network capacity and manage increased traffic growth.
Ericsson's Mobile-PBN solution, which includes the Redback SmartEdge routers, delivers IP infrastructure optimized to accommodate broadband packet data traffic growth, and transport for mCel's already-installed Ericsson Mobile Softswitch Solution.
Deployment has started and is scheduled for completion during Q2 2008.
The contract builds upon Ericsson's longstanding relationship with mCel. It also marks a significant step in the evolution to an all-IP network, and sets the stage for the introduction of a range of multimedia services.
Ericsson is now supplying Redback equipment to 65 carriers in more than 45 countries.
