Ericsson to modernize Kyivstars network to meet uptake of mobile data in Ukraine
[Back
to News Reports] 2nd July - Ericsson
is paving the way for leading Ukrainian operator Kyivstar to offer its 23.9 million
subscribers mobile broadband services under a three-year network modernization
deal between the two companies. | | While
Ukraine awaits the imminent release of 3G licenses, Kyivstar's customers across
99.9 percent of the country will be able to access multimedia data services and
superior voice service thanks to an expansion and modernization of Kyivstar's
GSM/EDGE network. Ericsson will boost capacity and coverage of the operator's
radio access and core network, which serves more than half the nation's total
subscriber base of 55.2 million. |

By increasing
capacity by more than 30 percent, Kyivstar will be able to manage the anticipated
uptake of mobile data in the network.
The core network capacity is expanded
by using the Ericsson Mobile Softswitch Solution, which also enables cost-efficient
migration to an all-IP network. The deal also covers microwave transmission, network
deployment, systems integration and support services, as well as competence development
for staff.
Igor Lytovchenko, President of Kyivstar, says: "This
network modernization furthers Kyivstar's strategy of maintaining its technology
leadership, while preparing for the launch of mobile broadband services with the
introduction of 3G in Ukraine." |

Jan
Campbell, President of Ericsson Eastern Europe and Central Asia, says that the
deal is an extension of Ericsson's established partnership with Kyivstar, which
dates back to the nationwide rollout of its GSM network in 1996. "By using
Ericsson's latest GSM/EDGE technologies, Kyivstar can deliver seamless services
to its customers today and be well prepared for future needs."
Kyivstar
and Ericsson have also joined forces in the area of advanced mobile technologies,
with the first Ukrainian demonstrations of 3G and MMS in 2002 and EDGE in 2004.
