Wilhelm Stückemann, Member of the Board and CTO in PTC, says: "The choice of Ericsson as supplier of PTC's 3G network is a natural step for us. During our nine-year-long cooperation, Ericsson has proven they have the competence, excellent product portfolio and roll-out capability necessary to deploy an advanced 3G network."
