Turkish operator Avea is hoping to introduce high-speed mobile broadband services to its subscribers with the help of WCDMA/HSPA and mobile backhaul technology from Ericsson. The companies have signed a four-year contract for HSPA-enabled network.

Under the agreement, Ericsson will be one of the main suppliers and will integrate and deploy WCDMA/HSPA radio access and packet core networks, as well as a complete mobile-backhaul solution based on microwave transmission and optical transport.

The new HSPA-enabled network is aimed at ensuring mobile broadband without bottlenecks, allowing Avea to offer multimedia services and high-speed mobile internet access. Additionally, Ericsson will expand and upgrade the speed and capacity of Avea’s existing GSM network.

Ericsson will also be responsible for network deployment, systems integration and support including spare-parts management.
