Posted on: Thursday, 13 March 2008, 12:00 CDT
Saudi Arabian mobile operator Mobily, a member of the Etisalat Group, has selected Ericsson as its managed services partner.
Under the agreement, Ericsson will be responsible for network operations, field operations and optimization as well as the spare parts management. The agreement also makes Ericsson responsible for site maintenance of Mobily's entire multi-vendor network.
The three year managed services agreement will enable Mobily to reduce operational expenses, at the same time as Ericsson will ensure better performance of the network. Mobily will retain ownership of the network and responsibility for its strategic direction.
Jan Frykhammar, senior vice president and head of business unit global services at Ericsson, said: "Ericsson has been working with Mobily and the Etisalat Group for several years now and it's an honor to be chosen as a managed services partner for their network. With Ericsson running the operations of the network, Mobily will be able to allocate even more time and focus on customer-facing activities."
