26th January 2005 - Ericsson and T-Mobile Hungary,
the largest mobile operator in the country, has signed
a contract to build a 3G (UMTS) network in Hungary.
T-Mobile will be able to offer its subscribers advanced
multimedia 3G services.
Ericsson has been selected by T-Mobile Hungary, the
leading operator in Hungary who recently have been awarded
a 3G license, to roll out its 3G network. In accordance
with the agreement, Ericsson will supply radio access
network and core network systems, including related
network roll out services. Ericsson is the sole supplier
of T-Mobile Hungary's 3G network.

UMTS services of excellent quality to its customers

course of development," said András Sugár, CEO of T-Mobile
Hungary. "T-Mobile's more than 4 million customers can
already satisfy their individual requirements by choosing
GSM, GPRS or EDGE services. "As part of the development,
T-Mobile has been offering EDGE in almost the whole
area of Budapest since December, 2004," said András
Sugár.
"As the global market leader in 3G and 2G mobile systems
Ericsson will support T-Mobile Hungary with the latest
technology for their new UMTS network," said Staffan
Pehrson, President of Ericsson Hungary. "Ericsson is
honored to have been selected as business partner and
