Ericsson has signed a contract with the Malaysian TV-network MiTV Corporation Sdn Bhd (MiTV) to build, manage and maintain its so-called WCDMA/HSPA network across Malaysia. The deal further strengthens Ericsson’s leadership in High-Speed Packet Access and managed services.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will provide MiTV with a complete WCDMA core and radio network, including HSPA, microwave transmission, multimedia solutions and related services. The agreement also includes a managed services contract that will see Ericsson manage and maintain MiTV‘s network.
Jan Signell, country manager of Ericsson Malaysia and president of Ericsson South East Asia, is thrilled by this new agreement.
“We believe this cooperation will create new multimedia opportunities in Malaysia. With the launch of an HSPA-enabled network, MiTV is well positioned to capitalize on the convergence of internet, broadcasting and telecom services that is already happening.”
The WCDMA/HSPA contract with MiTV underlines Ericsson’s position as the world’s leading supplier of mobile systems.
