Ericsson licenses GPRS and 3G platform to Finnish Benefon
"Benefon selected Ericsson Mobile Platforms as the provider of mobile access technology, due to Ericsson's leading position in GSM, GPRS and 3G networks and handset technology. The world-class platform is instrumental in Benefon's push to secure a leading global position in the growing mobile telematics market. Beyond mere GPRS, our product range now has a credible roadmap to global multiband GSM and 3G coverage", says Jukka Nieminen, Chief Operating Officer of Benefon.
"The collaboration with Benefon is a further proof of the technical and commercial strength of Ericsson's solution.
