Update on Ericsson’s Mobile Infrastructure Strategy

Dec. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- This report provides an update on Ericsson’s mobile infrastructure strategy at a time when mobile broadband is finally taking off. We believe Ericsson is well positioned to accommodate the different timelines that operators will adopt for LTE worldwide. Ericsson has been able to secure several LTE deals with front-runners such as Verizon Mobile and TeliaSonera. Being selected by the US operator, and with the acquisition of Nortel’s CDMA and LTE assets, Ericsson is well positioned to tap the LTE migration opportunities of 3GPP2 operators. While several CDMA operators are LTE front-runners, many HSPA operators are in less of a rush to go to LTE. That’s certainly not an issue for the Swedish vendor, which will leverage its large UMTS/HSPA installed base to sell HSPA+ software in the meantime.
