Ericsson has been awarded an expansion contract by Indonesian operator PT Excelcomindo Pratama Tbk (XL) to expand its GSM/GPRS and WCDMA/HSPA networks. Under the three-and-a-half-year frame agreement, Ericsson will supply both best-in-class 2G and 3G radio access network and MINI-LINK transmission equipment, as well as deployment of its proven Mobile Softswitch Solution. This is a step forward for XL in the evolution to an all-IP network, which is necessary to support the rapid growth and cost-efficiency of network capacity and coverage. Ericsson will also supply the network deployment and integration, as well as network and technology consulting, such as network performance improvement, network capacity and design, among other services. This network expansion will extend XL's footprint and enable it to address the ever-increasing need for mobile communications and broadband services in
Indonesia.
