Massive deployment of high-speed wireless networks throughout the world has opened up a new market for telecom outsourcing and managed services for several telecom equipment manufacturing firms. The next-generation (3G/4G) wireless networks are aiming to cope with substantial demand for high-speed wireless data services and mobile video.  Telecom service providers are now typically looking at providing the converged IP-based network, offering bundled solutions for triple play voice, video and data. This requires the implementation of complex network architecture.  The telecom outsourcing market generally includes network implementation & maintenance, system integration & managed services, and consulting. In order to minimize their costs, carriers try to concentrate on developing new services, implement a service-oriented business model and marketing.  The market for basic network operation is increasingly seeing the entry of infrastructure suppliers. This generates a huge opportunity for telecom equipment manufacturers to encash.  According to various industry ...

L.M. Ericsson (ERIC), the global leader in telecom infrastructure equipment and technology solutions, today won two major contracts in China, together valued at $1.7 billion. Ericsson has entered into 2G/3G framework agreements with both China Mobile (CHL) and China Unicom (CHU), the two larger telecom operators in the country. Under this agreement, both telecom operators will be able to improve the capacity and performance of their 2G networks and accelerate the initial build-up of their 3G networks. China Mobile and China Unicom served more than 620 million mobile subscribers in China, which is just a shade over 40% of the total Chinese population. The contract size of the China Mobile deal is of $1 billion. Ericsson will provide solutions for China Mobile’s network energy optimization and CO2 emission reduction target in addition to expanding the carrier’s GSM/GPRS network coverage and capacity in 18 provinces....
