Ericsson to supply trunk radio network to Yeniseytelecom in Russia
Ericsson has signed a contract with Russian mobile operator CJSC Yeniseytelecom (YTC) to deliver a trunk radio network based on Ericsson's leading microwave technology for the modernization of its transport network.
Ericsson will implement the latest generation of its compact long-haul microwave system, Marconi LH, and offer Yeniseytelecom professional services such as installation, supervision and training for technical personnel.
Marconi LH will be used for further upgrading Yeniseytelecom's transport network in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia. The implementation of the new microwave equipment, divided into phases, is scheduled for launch during 2007.
Sergey Ivanov, CEO of YTC, says: "The installation and the restructuring of our transport network are the next steps in YTC's cellular-networks modernization. The project's success so far is very much a result of our long-term partnership with Ericsson."
Ilya Nekrasov, vice-president of Ericsson in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, says: "We are very pleased to be selected by Yeniseytelecom for this contract. This is yet another proof point of Ericsson's leading position in the market and of our strong portfolio with end-to-end solutions - including both broadband access, leading-edge microwave and optical transport networks.
Cooperation between Ericsson and Yeniseytelecom dates back to 1998, when Ericsson made its first deliveries for construction of an NMT network. In May 2006, Ericsson and Yeniseytelecom signed the first contract for delivery of transport-network equipment for Krasnoyarsk. Today, Yeniseytelecom is not only the largest operator in the Siberian region, but also one of the top 10 operators in the whole Russian Federation.
