41 out of 77 operational GSM mobile system networks have been supplied by Ericsson in India
Conducted the first high-speed data downlink packet access (HSDPA) demonstration in India
during the Convergence India Telecom exhibition in New Delhi in March 2006
Ericsson has clinched a multi-million dollar deal to supply, manage and maintain 60 million GSM
lines for Bharti Airtel Ltd.
The equipment is to be supplied over three years and will include third-generation mobile
service capability.
The deal, a top Bharti Airtel executive told Business Standard, was still “under discussion”.
Ericsson officials were also tightlipped about the deal, but sources said the order had been
finalized and would set a new benchmark in per line valuation. According to some estimates,
the deal valuation would be well over $2 billion.
A key reason for Ericsson bagging the deal is the company’s 75 per cent market share in Bharti s
installed mobile capacity that currently caters to an estimated 22 million mobile users.
In February 2004, Bharti had awarded a three-year contract, worth $ 400 million, to Ericsson to
supply, manage and maintain GSM networks in several states.
In August 2006, Ericsson inked a USD 1 Billion contract with Airtel towards the design, planning,
supply and installation commissioning of Airtel’s networks in 15 circles.

Emerging markets is what HW is focusing and has made major progress.
HW is eyeing Vietnam and Indonesia for their significant growth
opportunities.
Latin America represents a significant opportunity for Huawei in terms of
growth on the wireline side (in particular in DSL), but has very little mobile
infrastructure presence.
India is another land with opportunity, although India government has to
overcome the “China threat” to let HW operate.
Occupy market with very low price
Occupy new and valuable market with low price strategy (Either no cost
consideration when entering into new market or using trial and buy, Chinese
Financing or internal strategic allowance).
Attract customers with flexible commercial terms (usually case by case,
depending on customers’ requirement).
Set up fully functioned local sales, marketing, engineering, after sales team.
Fast local reaction.
Gain trust from customers by providing prompt after sales services
“Product, Solution & Services Strategy:
WiMAX: focusing on developing 802.16e products.
GSM: more sophisticated GSM solution for different customers’ needs:
– EnerG GSM solution for emerging markets, cost saving features such as AMR (3G like
services into 2G network)
– Flexible products such as dual-density BTS, which can be configured and optimised
first for coverage, and later for capacity
– Advanced technologies into GSM architecture, such as GSM/WCDMA softswitches.
