    COSMOTE picks Ericsson for initial 3G infrastructure

    -

    Greek operator COSMOTE has signed a Letter of Intent with Ericsson covering the initial phase of its  W-CDMA roll out in Greece.

    The agreement, which runs until the end of 2004, will see Ericsson deliver the network infrastructure including core and radio equipment and support the 3G rollout with a full range of services. Most prominent amongst these is a commitment from Ericsson to work closely with COSMOTE in developing attractive end-user services in advance of the upcoming 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
    “The start of the deployment of our 3G network in Greece is yet another milestone for COSMOTE and confirms once again the company’s proven commitment to deliver the highest quality, most user-friendly services to the Greek people,” said Evangelos Martigopoulos, CEO of COSMOTE.
    “We are very honoured that COSMOTE has selected Ericsson as the main partner for its initial 3G network rollout,” said Bill Zikou, president of Market Unit South East Europe at Ericsson. “This Letter of Intent is yet another confirmation of Ericsson’s global leadership in providing end-to-end WCDMA solutions and a clear recognition of our competitive local position.”
