STOCKHOLM, Sweden-Ericsson announced it will supply BellSouth’s Panama affiliate with a cdma2000 1x overlay for the operator’s nationwide TDMA network, including network equipment, services and Sony Ericsson handsets.
The news closely follows Ericsson’s announcement earlier this week it will supply Cable & Wireless with equipment and services for deploying a GSM/GPRS 800 MHz network in Panama.
Ericsson said deployment of the BellSouth Panama overlay is to begin immediately, and the commercial launch of the Cable & Wireless network is expected in the fourth quarter of this year.
