Under the contracts with Shanxi Mobile and Inner Mongolia Mobile, Ericsson will provide its AXI 520 Backbone Routers (based on Juniper Networks M40(TM)) and internally developed AXC AXC Chief Aviation Antisubmarine Warfare Technician (Naval Rating) AXC Add Cross-Connect Card 623 and 470 Access Servers as well as comprehensive services, including deployment, support and training. These additional contracts strengthen Ericsson's relationship with China Mobile, building upon the September 2000 announcement to deploy the operator's national mobile Internet backbone network. Since that time, Ericsson's cooperation with leading provincial mobile operators in China has also increased with 14 new IP backbone contracts including Zhejiang Mobile, Guangdong Mobile, Anhui Mobile, Hebei Mobile, Jiangsu Mobile, Shanxi Mobile, Heilongjiang Mobile, He'nan Mobile, Fujian Mobile, Hubei Mobile, Shandong Mobile, Shanxi Mobile and Inner Mongolia Mobile. As a result of these contracts with China Mobile subsidiaries, Ericsson's AXI IP Backbone Routers routers now form 75% of the operator's backbone network, further proof of Ericsson's leadership in China's data and mobile infrastructure market.

About Ericsson's Packet Backbone Network Ericsson's Packet Backbone Network (PBN PBN Paint By Number PBN Procurement Business Number PBN Pyrolytic Boron Nitride PBN Policy-Based Networking PBN Performance-Based Navigation PBN Progressive Bengali Network PBN Paintball Nation PBN Permanent Background Notices ) is an Internet-class, carrier-class data backbone that enables operators to offer new or expanded services over an IP infrastructure in an extremely reliable and ultra-scalable configuration. PBN's Carrier Virtual Private Network (VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. ) Solutions provide carrier-grade reliability and provisioning of VPN services to their customers over IP and ATM networks. The solutions feature highly scalable IP and ATM platforms enabling rapid delivery of new value-added services in an interoperable, multiservice network environment: the AXD AXD Alexandroupolis, Greece (Airport Code) AXD Auxiliary Drum AXD Active X Document Multiservice Switches, AXI 540 Edge Aggregation Router and AXI 580 and AXI 520 series IP Backbone Routers (based on Juniper Networks M160(TM) and M40(TM) routers). PBN includes a Multiservice Management Suite (MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) An enhanced transmission service that enables graphics, video clips and sound files to be transmitted via cellphones. Developed as part of the 3GPP project, MMS phones are generally backward compatible with SMS and EMS. ) of products that includes in-house developed tools optimized for next generation networks and tools from best-in-class partners to address management issues in four key areas: network provisioning, service provisioning, service and network assurance, customer care and billing. PBN also employs Ericsson's innovative range of robust DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM.
