Ericsson awarded managed services deal with Yoigo in Spain
TeliaSonera's mobile operator Yoigo in Spain has awarded Ericsson with a three-year managed services contract for its new 3G network in Spain. The contract covers the operation, management and maintenance of the whole network.
Under the partnership agreement, Ericsson will be fully responsible for the operations, management and maintenance of Yoigo's 3G network, including the field services, the network operation center and integral system support covering software and hardware. The contract also includes other activities like engineering, network optimization and administrative services
"The agreement is in line with our aim to keep a slim operation and therefore we strive to outsource services to other qualified partners. This Ericsson agreement is an example of a new kind of partnership where you leave the network operation to another part," says Kenneth Karlberg, President of TeliaSonera Norway, Denmark, Baltic and Spain.
Ingemar Naeve, president, Ericsson Iberia, says: "We are very proud to have been chosen to take on the responsibility for the operations of Yoigo network. This contract is another example of the value added that Ericsson can provide to its customers. In this case, it is an extension to the contract signed last summer where Ericsson was chosen by Yoigo, former Xfera, to supply and implement a complete UMTS core and access network as well as service network.
