| 10th May - Ericsson has been selected
by Telcel - Mexico's leading operator and a subsidiary of America Movil - to provide
field maintenance activities for more than 3,800 additional sites for Telcel's
GSM, TDMA and transmission networks. Under the annual agreement, Ericsson
will expand its existing managed services contracts with Telcel for field maintenance,
and will increase its responsibility from one to all nine of Mexico's cellular
regions. Ericsson will provide preventive, planned and corrective maintenance
services for Telcel's multi-vendor network and site infrastructure. The agreement
will improve network availability, leverage network investment and reduce operating
costs. It will also allow Telcel to focus on its core business and launch new
services for its customers quickly, easily and cost-effectively. Telcel
has stated that field maintenance activities are crucial to ensure a high level
of availability for their customers. Together with Ericsson, Telcel has improved
its infrastructure to streamline network management and operations. Lars
Lindén, President of Ericsson Mexico, says: "We are proud to expand
our relationship with Telcel. This contract reaffirms Ericsson's leading position
in managed services. Our scale and skills ensure the quality and cost-efficient
operations of networks, end-user service platforms and associated infrastructure."
