build up the new UMTS network," said Dr. Boris Nemsic, General Manager  of
Mobilkom Austria.

"We are looking forward to taking this major step into the future together
with Mobilkom, the largest operator in Austria and our long term partner,"
said  Kjell Johansson, President of Ericsson Austria. "This is our  second
UMTS   agreement  in  Austria  within  a  short  time  and  is  a  further
acknowledgment  of  Ericsson's  global  leadership  in  3G,  and  of   our
customers' confidence in the quality and competence of our team."

Ericsson  has  to  date been named as supplier in 27 officially  announced
UMTS commercial agreements, more than any other vendor.
