US carrier New Core Wireless, in partnership with select rural wireless operators, has selected Ericsson to supply and implement its 4G/LTE network.  Under the terms of the agreement, Ericsson will supply New Core Wireless its Evolved Packet Core LTE solution, along with its LTE radio network to New Core Wireless’ partners. 

The new LTE network and infrastructure will be launched April 1, 2013, building on NewCore Wireless’ existing end-to-end 3G network that was implemented in 2009. 

New Core Wireless will work alongside Ericsson to implement this LTE network including network design, network roll-out and optimization. This partnership will continue after product launch with a cycle of network monitoring, analyzing, optimization and support throughout the life of the network.

In addition, New Core Wireless is also partnering with Stutler Technologies, a wireless system integrator.
