30th November 2004 - NEC Corporation has selected Ericsson
Mobile Platforms for use in the launch of their next
generation global WCDMA/GPRS handsets. The first products
to be made available within the 1st half of FY2005 (April
2005 - September 2005), will be based on the Ericsson
U100 platform, which is a highly integrated, stable
and commercially proven solution.
"NEC's choice of Ericsson Mobile Platforms as a partner
for their global WCDMA/GPRS products is a strong endorsement
of our technology and leadership in 3G," said Sandeep
Chennakeshu, President of Ericsson Mobile Platforms.
"This is one of our important strategic moves for 3G,"
said Yoshiharu Tamura, Senior General Manager of NEC's
Mobile Terminals Operations Unit. "With addition of
Ericsson Mobile Platforms to our portfolio, NEC will
be ready to offer a wider range of 3G mobile terminals
to meet the various demands of 3G mobile operators and
end users in a timely manner, in response to the wide
variety of services and functions required, as the 3G
market and services grow and expand globally."

provider. The U100 has been launched in an estimated
30% of the world's WCDMA products and has been selected
by several of the world's leading handset providers
