ERICSSON APPOINTS NEW HEAD OF BUSINESS UNIT PUBLIC NETWORKS Haijo Pietersma, today president of Ericsson in Holland, has been appointed new head of business unit Public Networks within business area Infocom Systems. He will take up his new position on July 1st, 1998 and succeeds Ingemar Nilsson who has been appointed head of the new Swedish company, Ericsson Sverige AB. As head of Ericsson in Holland, Haijo Pietersma has done a lot to develop Ericsson's business there and the company has become one of the most efficient and well-run in the Ericsson group. Haijo Pietersma has previously held several management positions within Ericsson, such as head of marketing and system development as well as manager of business development for Central and Eastern Europe. The market for fixed public networks continues to grow and shows no signs of slowing for the foreseeable future, at the same time as mobile telephony and separated Internet Protocol (IP) based communication continue to show strong growth. These different types of communication continue to complement each other rather than compete against each other. Ericsson's strength lies in its ability to offer total solutions based on a variety of systems. New operators of fixed public networks demand modern system solutions, at the same time as incumbent operators are investing in upgrades, such as ISDN and ADSL. There remains firm growth potential in large parts of the world, driven by the demand for basic, reliable and cost-effective infrastructure. Internet access and ATM-based communication integrated into today's public fixed telecommunication networks also represent an increasing demand. Earlier this spring, business unit Public Networks launched a new generation of the successful AXE switch to meet this new demand. It has been very well received by customers. The goal for Public Networks is to strengthen its position as leading supplier within the fixed public telecommunications network market segment, including IP and datacommunications which are integrated into the telecom systems. "Our product portfolio within this area is stronger than ever and our aim is to increase the rate at which we introduce new and attractive solutions for our large customer- base as well as to new operators. We intend to grow faster than the market and to increase our competitiveness through swift industrial restructuring, facilitated by new technology, something which we began in 1995," says Anders Igel, head of business area Infocom Systems. Other business units within Ericsson focus on mobile telecommunications and separate IP-based communication. In order to sharpen the scope of Public Networks, the responsibility for the so-called separate voice gateways and Internet Access Servers will be transferred to business unit Datacom Networks and IP Services within business area Infocom Systems on July 1st, 1998. Public Networks' focus is on making Ericsson a world leader within traditional telecom and on its further development well into the next century. Ericsson's 100,000 employees are active in more than 130 countries. Their combined expertise in fixed and mobile networks, mobile phones and infocom systems makes Ericsson a world-leading supplier in telecommunications.
