14 DAY TRIAL // Ericsson and Norwegian operator Telenor have signed a global frame agreement for the supply of microwave transmission solutions. The two year contract is an expansion of the existing partnership and covers all majority-owned Telenor group affiliates worldwide.
Under the contract, Ericsson will supply Telenor with its suite of MINI-LINK and Marconi branded point-to-point microwave transmission products. These include high-capacity radios, smart traffic nodes and both long- and short-haul systems.

With our strong product portfolio and our market and customer knowledge, we can meet any capacity and reliability requirements, quickly and efficiently."
