Ericsson has been selected by Tele2/Tango as sole supplier for its WCDMA networks in Luxembourg and Liechtenstein. The contract covers core and radio network infrastructure and service agreements.

Tango plans commercial launch of 3G services in Luxembourg during the second quarter of 2003 and in Liechstenstein later in 2003. Deliveries to the operator have already started, and the roll-out is well advanced.

"The build out of the UMTS network in 2003 is an important step for Tango in Luxembourg," commented Lars-Johan Jarnheimer, CEO of Tele2. "Tango is now the largest provider of mobile services in the country and the 3G environment will bring new opportunities for Tango."

Ericsson has been the main supplier for Tele2/Tango's fixed and mobile networks in Luxembourg.
