Ericsson Wins Contract with SATEL for Russia's First Ethernet DSL Access Network.Business Editors/Telecommunications Writers STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2003 Ericsson (Nasdaq:ERICY) and SATEL SATEL Support & Test Equipment List Company Group announce the signing of an agreement to supply Russia's first Ethernet DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary Access network. Ericsson's Ethernet DSL Access solution will provide broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over modem. Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a for SATEL's wireline operator network (Infoline), in the Moscow region. Ethernet DSL Access will provide Infoline's customers with highspeed connections to the Internet by upgrading existing phone lines with Ethernet DSL technology. Ethernet DSL Access is designed with low cost of ownership and scalability in focus to be able to bring DSL to the mass market. Through multiannex ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2 and wirespeed throughput, the solution gives operators the possibility to offer their subscribers the entire spectrum of broadband access See broadband and wireless broadband. services. "Cooperation with Ericsson during implementation of the Ethernet DSL network allows us to keep up with the constant progress and offer our clients full freedom when choosing the solution that corresponds best to their needs," says Roman Romanov Roman Romanov (Russian: Роман Романов) is an ethnic-Russian Lithuanian businessman and the current Chairman of Scottish Premier League football club Hearts. , Deputy General Director of SATEL. "It provides a low-risk way of meeting customers demands for Internet access See how to access the Internet. ." "We are pleased to continue the relationship with the SATEL Company Group which has evolved over 6 years," says Eddie Ahman, President of Ericsson in Russia. "Our cooperation began in the area of small-scale corporate communications systems and PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). distribution, as well as system integration based on Ericsson equipment. Today, SATEL continues to select the most advanced solution enabling their client -- Infoline -- to offer high-speed Internet access services, and at the same time decreasing capital costs." Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the world.

SATEL carries out installation of technological and communications equipment (PBX, city exchanges, DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) A cordless phone standard mostly used in Europe; however, DECT 6.0 is increasingly used worldwide. The first DECT standards were introduced by ETSI in 1992, and DECT phones have been used as cordless home phones as equipment, data transmission equipment, etc). About Infoline CJSV "Infoline" telecommunications company was founded in 1998. Its integral telecommunications network allows offering its subscribers the following major types of services: -- Modern digital telephone communications; -- Cable TV including all programs of central TV broadcast, satellite TV, local TV studios; -- Internet access (up to 100 Mb/s data transfer speeds). Infoline customers are also offered the possibility to use additional services: conference calls; fax, e-mail; high-speed data exchange via cable TV channels (up to 10 Mb/s and more). About Ericsson's Ethernet DSL Access Solution Ericsson's Ethernet DSL Access solution enables fixed network operators to deploy the required second-mile bandwidth at less than half of the cost of equivalent ATM-based bandwidth. By avoiding concentration in the DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. and connecting directly to an Ethernet aggregation network, the new solution opens up the possibility to support high bandwidth demanding services without DSLAM bottlenecks. This dramatically alters the economics of rolling out DSL and enables operators to address the 'second wave' of broadband subscribers profitably, following the initial early-adopter wave. A key advantage of providing DSL services in this way is that existing standardized DSL interfaces are unchanged. The subscriber simply uses a standard DSL modem, which the Ethernet connection from the PC or LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. plugs into in the normal way.
