Ericsson expands commercial LMDS network of Nordic operator EITeIe

Ericsson  has won a second LMDS contract with ElTele to expand the  Nordic
operator's fixed wireless broadband access network in Oslo and other major
Norwegian cities. Deliveries and installations, as well as a part  of  the
commercial operation are already being carried out.

"Our  experience  confirms that Ericsson has the best  wireless  broadband
access system on the market," said EITele CEO, Per Morten Torvildsen.  "We
see  this  not only in terms of services that we can offer our  customers,
but  equally  important, during the build out phase,  the  best  coverage,
delivery capacity, flexibility and simplicity to deploy. Interest for  our
services  is  now coming from enterprises that are eager to get  broadband
services,  as well as from government and regional communities  throughout
the  region.  All see the benefits and reliability offered  by  our  radio
solution."

"This new contract is a confirmation of our strategy to focus on broadband
services and to build strong partnerships with operators so that they  can
rapidly  launch services. It also shows the benefits an operator  gets  in
using  a stable system that is available for volume delivery," said Mikael
Backstrom,  Vice President at Ericsson Microwave Systems.  "Our  MINI-LINK
BAS system is highly industrialized and enables rapid installations of new
hubs and base stations so that operators can add new customers, literally,
within hours."

Ericsson  is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation  in
mobility and Internet in creating the new era of mobile Internet. Ericsson
provides total solutions covering everything from systems and applications
to  mobile  phones and other communications tools. With more than  100,000
employees  in  140  countries,  Ericsson  simplifies  communications   for

About MINI-LINK BAS
Ericsson's  LMDS  solution,  MINI-LINK BAS,  is  the  world's  first  true
broadband  wireless access system using point-to-multipoint microwave.  It
addresses  the  last  mile  access market as a rapid  and  cost  effective
broadband  alternative to fiber. Bridging wireline and wireless  networks,
it  carries  bandwidth-hungry IP services - such as  high-speed  Internet,
VPN,  LAN-LAN interconnection and high quality video conferencing  -  with
dedicated,   or   dynamically  allocated  capacity.   The   capacity   can
instantaneously be allocated wherever needed - on demand - with peak rates
up  to  37  Mbps, a prerequisite for successful deployment of new services
and efficient use of bandwidth.

This  is  further  combined  with guaranteed capacities  and  leased  line
services as for PBX's and traditional GSM base-stations. It is ideal  also
for  mobile  backhaul  applications in GPRS and  3G  networks,  where  the
possibility to dynamically allocate very high capacity (2-30 Mbps) between
base stations becomes a key advantage.

MINI-LINK BAS operates at LMDS frequencies between 24 and 31 GHz.
