Ericsson has signed a GSM expansion contract with Chongqing Mobile
Communication Company Limited (Chongqing Mobile) in Chongqing, China
to supply complete network solutions including telecom services. The
contract is valued at USD 27 million.
Under the contract, Ericsson will supply Chongqing Mobile with
advanced infrastructure equipment and telecom services, including the
latest switching platforms, radio base stations, network deployment,

end of this year. The total capacity of Chongqing Mobile's GSM
network will reach 6 million subscribers.
"After the expansion, our network capacity will be significantly
increased, and we will also be able to roll out higher speed data
services and other attractive new services for our subscribers in a
cost effective way," says Shen Changfu, General Manager of Chongqing
Mobile. "Ericsson is one of our most important strategic partners.
With their expertise and support, we believe Ericsson will contribute
greatly to our fast moving towards business growth and satisfying the
diversified market needs."
"The win of this expansion project demonstrates again the continued
confidence of Chongqing Mobile in Ericsson's leading technology and
services," says Mats H. Olsson, President of Ericsson China. "With
the experience gained through our long-term cooperation with
Chongqing Mobile and our strong local support capabilities
highlighted by the two Ericsson joint ventures in Chongqing, I am
confident that this cooperation will prove to be another success for
both Chongqing Mobile and Ericsson."
