Ericsson provides IP Backbone to international operator Telia throughout
USA and Europe

Ericsson today announced a breakthrough on the IP Backbone market by
signing two contracts to provide its comprehensive Packet Backbone Network
to global customer Telia International Carrier. This enables Telia IC to
offer IP backbone traffic with even higher bandwidth and quality of
service.
Ericsson has signed one contract with Telia International Carrier to
expand their intercontinental IP backbone network. Ericsson will deliver
and install more than 25 of its AXI 580 IP Backbone Routers throughout the
USA and Europe. The contract also includes a service support package and a
partnership for the development of IP Services. The first routers in New
York and Copenhagen will be in service by March 2001.

At the same time, Ericsson and Telia Internet Inc, a wholly owned US-based
subsidiary of global operator Telia International Carrier, today announced
that  Telia  Internet  will  expand  its  existing  national  backbone
infrastructure with more than 20 of Ericsson's AXI 520-4 IP Backbone
Routers throughout the United States. Telia Internet will also deploy

Ericsson's Multiservice Management Suite applications, Network Resource
Manager and Service Level Manager, which will be used for configuration
and fault management of the carrier's IP backbone network. Ericsson's
large-scale AXI 580 and AXI 520-4 IP Backbone routers and Multiservice
Mangement Suite will allow both Telia International Carrier and Telia
Internet to significantly increase the bandwidth (up to 10 Gbit/s) of
their backbone networks and to provide IP backbone capacity and transport
services to their carrier, ISP and enterprise customers. By deploying
Ericsson's Packet Backbone Network, Telia is prepared for the continued
rapid growth of Internet traffic and new demands for Quality of Service.

This will be further enhanced by the data requirements in the 3G networks.
Telia and Ericsson, together with Juniper Networks, have also signed a
partnership agreement for the development of innovative and advanced IP
services geared towards the international wholesale, resale, and retail
markets in Europe and USA.

Ericsson's family of AXI IP Backbone routers are based on Juniper Networks
leading IP knowledge and technology. Ericsson adds extensive carrier-class
management capabilities to the platforms with its Multiservice Management
Suite,  as  well  as  global  integration  and  support  services.  This
combination of Ericsson and Juniper best-in-class technology and expertise
will allow Telia to quickly and reliably rollout and manage new and
expanded services over their new, nationwide IP backbone network.

"We are very pleased that Telia has chosen to expand our long-standing
relationship by choosing to deploy our Packet Backbone Network on such a
large scale throughout their USA and European networks. This agreement
highlights the trend of the world's leading global super carriers, like
Telia, repeatedly partnering with trusted vendors who can provide end-to-
end telecom and datacom solutions along with extensive global, local
services," said Mike Thurk, executive vice president of Ericsson's Data
Backbone and Optical Networks division. "We are confident that Ericsson's
scalable, carrier-class Packet Backbone Network will quickly and easily
accomodate the needs of Telia International Carrier's growing global
customer base."

mobility and Internet in creating the new era of Mobile Internet. Ericsson
