Ericsson has been selected by T-Mobile USA to support the company's USD4 billion network transformation, which includes preparatory work for the launch of LTE in 2013. T-Mobile USA will be the first carrier in North America to deploy Ericsson's AIR technology. 

T-Mobile USA selected the AIR solution due to the enhanced radio performance and ease of deployment. Ericsson will install the radio, tower and switch room equipment, as well as provide consulting and systems integration and rollout services. Ericsson will also provide turnkey services in the areas of installation, commissioning, integration and migration. 

"T-Mobile continues to be at the forefront of 4G innovation and we are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with Ericsson as we modernize our network and deploy LTE in 2013. By partnering with Ericsson, T-Mobile expects to be the first carrier in the nation to deploy the company's Antenna Integrated Radio technology, enabling accelerated deployment and reduced site loading," said Neville Ray, Chief Technology Officer, T-Mobile USA.

Angel Ruiz, head of Ericsson's North American operations, said, "This contract marks a significant milestone for Ericsson in North America and further establishes our network leadership in the region. We are excited that our commitment to continued innovation in technology, services and design will further enhance T-Mobile USA's network and extend our long-standing relationship with the carrier."
