Ericsson Demonstrates CDMA2000 1xEV-DO at 3G CDMA World Congress STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 12, 2001--Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERICY - news) demonstrates seamless, high-speed packet data services with its industry leading CDMA2000 and Wireless LAN (WLAN) solutions at the CDMA World Congress. Showcasing mobile IP capabilities for wireless networks, Ericsson's CDMA2000 1xEV solution illustrates how CDMA operators can efficiently and cost effectively deliver 3G mobile Internet services to their customers. Ericsson's CDMA2000 1xEV-DO solution will support such 3G applications as streaming audio, video and data transfers. Offering peak data rates up to 2.4 Mbps in a standard 1.25 MHz carrier, with a minimum average throughput of 600 Kbps, Ericsson's CDMA2000 1xEV-DO solution is fully compliant with IS-856. It can be simply added to existing CDMA2000 radio base stations or overlaid on an existing CDMA network, enabling operators to provide customers with highspeed mobile Internet capabilities while efficiently utilizing radio spectrum. ``Ericsson is committed to the evolution of CDMA2000 and to helping operators supply the most advanced mobile Internet services to their customers,'' said Ake Persson, president of Ericsson CDMA Systems. ``In order to meet critical operator requirements for advanced services, Ericsson offers a highly scaleable and flexible CDMA2000 product line.'' Ericsson's CDMA2000 1xEV demonstration also includes a complementary access service with Wireless LAN (WLAN). The multi-access hand-offs between 1xEV-DO and WLAN enable the end-user to have an ``always best connected'' experience when working in local environments such as airports and conference centers. The end-user will experience the maximum benefits of both technologies, ensuring seamless mobility with secure connections and the highest data rates possible. Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.

Ericsson offers operators a choice of solutions with cost-effective migration that protects their capital investment as they evolve from CDMA2000 1X to the recently defined 1xEV options. The products in Ericsson's total CDMA2000 solution are designed to accommodate 1xEV-DO, thus enabling simple, cost-effective addition of capacity optimized for data to CDMA networks. Ericsson's CDMA2000 Radio Base Station (RBS) 1127 adds for 1xEV-DO support with the addition of a 1xEV-DO channel card. Ericsson's CDMA2000 Base Station Controller (BSC) 1120 requires only a software upgrade, which can be done remotely, to support 1xEV-DO functionality. For added deployment flexibility, the CDMA2000 RBS and the BSC are designed to support 1X and 1xEV-DO simultaneously, or they can be dedicated to 1xEV-DO services only, to match operator requirements and anticipated traffic.
