As part of the network modernization, Ericsson will replace the current 2G and 3G wireless base stations to unique, multi-standard RBS 6000 equipments developed for GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA Evolution and LTE technologies, Magyar Telekom said. Once the necessary frequencies are available, Magyar Telekom will also be ready in 2011 to offer LTE services to its customers through the new fourth generation LTE technology provided by Ericsson.
In the first stage of the modernization, Magyar Telekom will set up 200 new HSPA+ stations in Budapest offering internet at super-fast speeds of 21 Mbps. HSPA+ will be available across the entire network by 2013.
The agreement will offer further cost saving potential, including a 50% saving in energy costs, Magyar Telekom said.
