Ericsson wins in Turkey

Ericsson has been selected as the main supplier of W-CDMA/HSPA equipment by Turkey’s largest mobile operator by subscribers Turkcell. Under the agreement Ericsson will supply an end-to-end network solution, including a WCDMA/HSPA radio access network, and an IP-over-Ethernet-enabled mobile-backhaul solution based on microwave transmission. Ericsson will also be responsible for a full range of services, including systems integration, technical support and network build and implementation. Turkcell was one of three firms awarded 3G licences in Turkey in December last year.
