FE Report
Ericsson will supply mobile broadband module technology to Netgear, a world-leading brand in the small- to medium-sized businesses and home router segment.
Mobile network connections for routers are becoming increasingly popular in many countries as a backup for or alternative to wireline broadband.
Ericsson and Netgear have teamed to expand the mobile broadband market into new application areas and user segments, helping mobile operators generate higher revenues as their customers realize more reasons to use 3G networks for multiple data applications.
Michael Clegg, vice president and general manager of the Netgear Service Provider business unit, says: "We are thrilled to cooperate with Ericsson, the global leader in 3G mobile broadband network technology. This collaboration furthers our position with mobile operators, and the resulting mobile platform can be migrated to higher speeds and enabled with added features going forward. It is a clear win-win partnership."
