Maltese company Melita, provider of home entertainment and
telecommunications, has become the first in the world to integrate
HSPA mobile broadband into its existing cable-TV network, adding
mobile broadband to its TV, internet and fixed telephony offerings.
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) was selected as the end-to-end integrator,
using its expertise and technology to make this achievement
possible.
The Ericsson solution will allow Melita to deploy new services
rapidly and cost-effectively, while optimizing its existing
infrastructure. The new network will assist Melita to offer its
consumers an enhanced end-user experience based on TV, internet,
fixed telephony and mobile broadband services.
Under the turnkey agreement, Ericsson has supplied, integrated
and deployed an IP-based HSPA radio access, circuit and packet core
network, plus a revenue management solution. To ensure
cost-effective operations for the new network, the skills of
Melita's professionals have been enhanced using Ericsson's Learning
Services.
Stephen Wright, Melita's COO, says: "Ericsson's proven
technology and service expertise will provide us with a
high-performance, quality solution to control operating costs and
enable us to bring compelling services to our customers in the
Maltese market."
Cesare Avenia, Head of Market Unit South East Europe, says:
"Ericsson, with its proven broadband solutions and know-how in
next-generation telecommunications networks, is providing Melita
with the opportunity to generate greater revenue and expand its
offerings with the latest mobile broadband services."
