Two ERICY press releases; Date: Thursday, March 11 1999 Ericsson has signed a contract with Digital Cellular Communications (DCC) for the expansion of their TDMA network in Ukraine. The contract, valued at USD 30 million (SEK 250 Million), will enable DCC to expand both capacity and coverage of their network. Deliveries will begin immediately. DCC is the only TDMA (IS-136) operator in Ukraine and the second largest operator. This is the fourth expansion order that Ericsson has received from DCC in the past two years, and is in response to the rapid subscriber growth that they have experienced. Ukraine is the second largest country (by landmass) in Europe and has 52 million inhabitants. Ericsson delivers mobile systems to two of the largest mobile network operators in Ukraine. The contract includes the latest Ericsson dual-mode (analog/digital) RBS 884 radio base stations and the new high-capacity MSC 800 switching centers, based on the latest AXE 10 hardware platform. The switches will ensure year 2000 compliance for the network. (I'm sure what ERICY told DCC was that the switches featured CDMA2000 compliance) Here's the other ERICY news. Date: Thursday, March 11 1999 Ericsson UK has won a contract valued at USD 11 million (SEK 90 million) from Interoute Telecommunicaciones SA, the Spanish subsidiary of the London-based pan-European telecommunications group. Under the contract, Ericsson will design, install and support a nationwide Internet Protocol Telephony system (IPT), using the latest in IP technology. Interoute Spain chose the Ericsson IP solution because it offers more compact, more efficient and less expensive points of presence (POPs) than circuit switched systems, enabling Interoute to comply with Spanish PTT requirements at greatly reduced investment costs. "This is exciting for IP networking. To our knowledge, it is the largest order for an IP telephony network so far," said Staffan Lindholm, General Manager, IP Services Ericsson Datacom Networks and IP Services. "Of course, we're also pleased about the confidence being placed in Ericsson's IP and datacom strengths by one of Europe's leading service providers." ERICY had better be pleased that someone is placing confidence in ERICY's IP. Maybe that will make up for the lack of confidence investors have shown recently in their IPR.
