ERICSSON WINS BREAKTHROUGH SERVICE CONTRACT WITH CHINA MOBILE
Ericsson has won a major service contract with China Mobile’s provincial unit China Mobile Hebei. Under a three-year field maintenance contract, Ericsson will maintain all of the company’s 22,000 base stations across the Hebei province, an area surrounding Beijing similar in size to the UK. Mats H Olsson, President of Ericsson China and North East Asia said the deal marks a breakthrough for the company’s services business in China, where operators have been relatively cautious about outsourcing maintenance and network management. The contract comprises both 2G and 3G equipment provided by Ericsson and other vendors, Olsson said. Ericsson will also discuss with China Mobile, which is the country’s number-one mobile operator, the possibility of service contracts in other provinces.
