Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has been selected by Telcel - Mexico’s leading operator and a subsidiary of América Móvil - to provide a 3G network, enabling the launch of high-speed mobile broadband in major cities, including Mexico City and Monterrey.

Under the agreement, Ericsson will supply a complete 3G network, including base stations, network controllers and extensive software functionality, to upgrade part of Telcel’s existing GSM/GPRS/EDGE network. The contract also covers a wide range of services such as deployment and integration, network design, tuning, optimization, consulting and support.

Ericsson’s solution will boost Telcel’s network capacity and enable the provision of high-speed mobile broadband based on HSPA.
