 E-Plus Group in Germany and KPN Group Belgium in Belgium have chosen Ericsson to upgrade their mobile backhaul in Germany and Belgium over the next three years. Ericsson will install more than 15,000 MINI-LINK transmission node links in these countries before the end of 2013. Gerhard Lüdtke, Director, Access Network, E-Plus Group, said, "To cope with the continuous rapid growth in data traffic and offer faster mobile access and backhaul networks, we are upgrading our mobile backhaul with the help of Ericsson's MINI-LINK technology. This investment will also allow us to make our network more cost-effective and future-proof, to the benefit of our broadband business." Anders Runevad, Head - Region Western & Central Europe, Ericsson, said, "Mobile backhaul is becoming increasingly important due to the rapid increase in consumption of Internet services, which can otherwise put a lot of strain on mobile networks. This necessitates an upgrade of the transmission network to provide sufficient capacity for the increased traffic generated at the radio base station sites. Mobile backhaul provides the link between the core and the radio network, and we aim to perfect that link." |
