Ericsson continues to provide support to Iranian telecoms: report
- Iran: Wednesday, November 21 - 2012 at 04:43
Ericsson is working with Iran's largest mobile telecoms operator to expand its network and has promised to support another Iranian mobile carrier until 2021, Reuters has reported, citing an internal company document. The Swedish firm said that telecoms are a "basic humanitarian service." Fredrik Hallstan, a spokesman for Ericsson, confirmed the company is currently working on a new expansion project for Mobile Communication Co of Iran (MCCI), but said the venture, which the carrier calls Phase V, is covered under a contract Ericsson signed in 2008. "We have not extended any agreements ... with MCCI and we have no plans to do so either," he said. Hallstan declined to discuss the nature of the work Ericsson is undertaking, its value or how the company will be paid. He said Ericsson's promise to continue supporting a second Iranian mobile operator, MTN Irancell, for many years falls under a 2006 contract. MTN Irancell is Iran's second largest mobile carrier.
