Poland's operators Polkomtel and Aero2 have selected Ericsson to supply WCDMA and LTE infrastructure for their network. Under the agreement, Ericsson will also provide a range of services including design, deployment, integration and support for the upgraded mobile broadband network for a period of three years. That will be followed by an automatic extension for an indefinite period.

The radio solutions provided under the terms of this agreement will enhance coverage, capacity and throughput for customers of Polkomtel and Aero2. The upgrades will allow for expanded WCDMA and LTE coverage in northern and western Poland to keep pace with rapid uptake of smartphones and increased demand for mobile broadband.

According to Ericsson, it has been a partner of Polkomtel's since 2002, providing and implementing GSM and WCDMA networks, as well as microwave transmission, IP and packet core solutions.
