Etisalat and Ericsson partner

Ericsson has recently signed another new agreement with Etisalat Egypt to upgrade Etisalat's network and transform the telecom operator's radio network to enable a full range of converged information and telecom services.

As part of the deployment, Ericsson will provide Etisalat Egypt with its latest RBS 6000 radio base station technology. This will enable energy-efficient and cost-effective operations while allowing the operator to meet the demands of its growing subscriber base with better and faster mobile internet connectivity and quality mobile coverage throughout the country. What's more, it will enable Etisalat Egypt to prepare the network for LTE (4G).

Saeed ElHamly, CEO, Etisalat Egypt, says, "Demand for voice and data services is constantly increasing. This is why we are always striving to cater to our subscribers' needs by continuously upgrading our network and adopting the latest technology."

Haitham AbdulRazzak, CTO, Etisalat Egypt, says, "Etisalat Misr keep its commitment in maintaining technology and broadband leadership and will continue investing in solutions and products that will enhance service experience for consumers and enterprises."
