Swedish telecom vendor
Ericsson has bagged a deal
worth Tk 21 crore from
Bangladesh's state-run mobile
operator TeleTalk to supply
265 microwave MINI-LINK TN
transmission systems.
This is Ericsson's first deal
in the last few years in
developing TeleTalk's network.
Most of TeleTalk's network
development jobs went to
China's Huawei and Nokia
Siemens Networks (NSN), the
new global joint telecoms
division of Siemens and
Finland-based mobile phone
manufacturing giant Nokia.
Harris Stratex Networks, NSN,
Nera Networks, Alcatel-Lucent
and Sagem took part in
TeleTalk's bid that was
offered in November 2008.
The agreements include
Ericsson's MINI-LINK TN
Microwave Transmission system
that allows operators a much
higher degree of flexibility
in network designs, leading to
faster implementations at
lower costs.
The MINI-LINK TN can scale
from small end sites with a
single or redundant microwave
links through a hub site of
microwave links. It allows
optimisation on both network
and sites, says a press release.
“We chose Ericsson as their
microwave transmission
solutions efficiently meet our
need for modernisation of
transmission network," says Md
Mujibur Rahman, managing
director of TeleTalk.
Håkan Rusch, managing director
of Ericsson Bangladesh, says:
"We believe this partnership
will allow further cooperation
between Ericsson and TeleTalk."
