Ericsson delivers HSPA network for DNA Finland

February 1, 2007, Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) today announced the successful completion of DNA Finland’s 3G network upgrade - a move that will provide end users with a true mobile-broadband solution.

Signed in late December 2006, the contract includes a commercial High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) software upgrade, as well as deployment, integration and support services.

The completion of the network follows Ericsson’s earlier installation of HSPA-capable base-station hardware.
Ericsson’s HSPA solution enables mobile broadband, boosts internet speeds, and decreases uplink and downlink delays, providing the springboard to future multimedia services.

DNA Finland is the fastest-growing operator in the country, with more than 1 million new subscribers since 2001. The rollout will allow the operator to further expand its reach by providing a cutting-edge broadband solution.

Janne Laitala, Ericsson Country Manager, Finland, says: “The rollout represents a milestone in Ericsson’s long-standing relationship with DNA Finland. It provides them with a market-leading solution, allowing them to offer end users an enriched experience with access to services such as fast internet browsing, file downloading and e-mail messaging.”

Ericsson has delivered almost half of the world’s launched HSPA-enabled 3G networks.
Ericsson is shaping the future of mobile and broadband internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.
