Allgon awarded UMTS-agreement by Swedish 3G operators 3GIS and Hi3G

Allgon awarded UMTS-agreement by Swedish 3G operators 3GIS and Hi3G Allgon, a global supplier of radio-based infrastructure solutions, has been appointed base station antenna supplier by Swedish UMTS network operators 3GIS and Hi3G. According to the 3GIS agreement, Allgon will develop and provide UMTS base station antennas for 3GIS (3G Infrastructure Services AB), a Swedish 3G Infrastructure joint venture between mobile operators Orange, HI3G and Vodafone. The contract is a long time agreement, and the first products have already been delivered. Allgon has also signed a general agreement directly with Hi3G, where Allgon is appointed primary supplier of 3G base station antennas in Hi3G's separate UMTS-network. The first products included by the HI3G agreement have also been delivered. "We won the contracts in hard competition, which once again confirms our high competence in 3G technology. Allgon is the natural choice for a 3G operator with high demands for performance and coverage", said Jeff Bork, CEO of Allgon. Allgon was recently appointed UMTS equipment supplier by Svenska UMTS Nät AB, the second Swedish 3G-infrastructure joint venture between 3G operators Telia and Tele2. Together with the new 3GIS and HI3G agreements, this makes Allgon a leading supplier of 3G infrastructure equipment on the Swedish UMTS market. Last year, Allgon was also awarded European UMTS base station antenna contracts by Orange and Cegetel.
