OCT 1, 1999, M2 Communications - The Swedish telecoms solutions provider Ericsson has received a contract for a Next Generation Network solution from the Dutch operator KPN International. Ericsson is to provide a solution for integrating voice and datacom services in KPN's European network for France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. The solution is to be based on Ericsson's ATM switch AXD 301 and Telephony Server. Ericsson is also to expand the GSM network of the Polish operator Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa. The contract for the expansion, valued at around SEK660m, includes base stations, base station controllers, MINI-LINK microwave transport solutions and services as well as mobile switching centers and home location registers. Ericsson Telebit A/S, a recently acquired Danish subsidiary of Ericsson, is to provide third-generation hybrid switch-routers for a UK travel agent and tour operator booking network. The network is being developed by the travel technology provider X-TANT. Currently around 65% of UK's electronically traded package holidays are carried over the X-TANT network. In other news it has been reported that Ericsson has formed a new division in the UK. The new UK division, Ericsson Converged Networks, will provide IP networks to mobile and telecom operators and Internet Service Providers based in the UK. Ericsson also recently introduced the world's smallest GSM phone. The T28 World is 2.5 by 1.3 by 0.4 inches and weighs under three ounces. -0- NORDIC BUSINESS REPORT (C) 1999 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
