Ericsson selected by NEC as supplier for 3G mobile platforms

The first products to be made available within the 1st half of FY2005 (April
2005 - September 2005), will be based on the Ericsson U100 platform,
which is a highly integrated, stable and commercially proven
solution.  

"NEC's choice of Ericsson Mobile Platforms as a partner for their
global WCDMA/GPRS products is a strong endorsement of our technology
and leadership in 3G," said Sandeep Chennakeshu, President of
Ericsson Mobile Platforms.

"This is one of our important strategic moves for 3G," said Yoshiharu
Tamura, Senior General Manager of NEC's Mobile Terminals Operations
Unit. "With addition of Ericsson Mobile Platforms to our portfolio,
NEC will be ready to offer a wider range of 3G mobile terminals to
meet the various demands of 3G mobile operators and end users in a
timely manner, in response to the wide variety of services and
functions required, as the 3G market and services grow and expand
globally."

Ericsson Mobile Platforms is the world's leading 3G-platform
provider. The U100 has been launched in an estimated 30% of the
world's WCDMA products and has been selected by several of the
world's leading handset providers due its stability, size, power
consumption and rich feature set.
