22nd April 2005 - Ericsson has strengthened its 3G
position in Taiwan by winning a contract with WCDMA
operator VIBO Telecom. Ericsson has been chosen to deliver
a turnkey solution for VIBO's core mobile network.
The agreement comprises a turnkey solution for core
network equipment, both circuit-switching and packet-data,
transport network and Systems Integrations, as well
as a full portfolio of services such as training, network
design, network rollout and technical support to support
VIBO's planned 3G launch.
"Ericsson's successful global track record on 3G rollout
and strong local support distinguished it from the competition,"
said David Wang, CEO of VIBO Telecom. We plan to roll
out our 3G service in the fourth quarter of this year
to enhance the customer experience with an innovative
and user-friendly 3G multimedia lifestyle. We believe
Ericsson can meet our ambitious plan."
"We are proud to be the partner of choice for VIBO
and we are fully committed to yet another success story
with VIBO in this market," said Sean Gowran, President,
Ericsson Taiwan. "More importantly, the new partnership
will help strengthen our local services resource as
a foundation for even stronger growth in the future."
The WCDMA contract with VIBO Telecom confirms Ericsson's
position as the world's leading supplier of 3G mobile
systems. Today Ericsson supplies more commercial WCDMA
services than any other system-infrastructure provider.
Implementation of this project will begin immediately,
with VIBO's 3G commercial services to be rolled out
in the fourth quarter 2005.
