Ericsson introduces CDMA Internet Services Platform to enable mass-
market Mobile Internet

Ericsson's  Internet Services Platform is a new tool  for  helping  CDMA
operators  and  service  providers deploy Mobile  Internet  applications
rapidly, efficiently and cost-effectively.

For  operators,  the Ericsson Internet Services Platform scalable,  open
architecture   allows  easy  integration  of  third-party  applications,
reducing  service management costs and bringing applications  to  market
sooner.  The  network's  open standard interfaces  simplify  application
design  for developers by allowing them to focus on functionality rather
than  proprietary  interfaces. For the consumer, access  to  the  Mobile
Internet  will  become less complicated, and it will be easier  to  move
among applications.

"Ericsson's  Internet Services Platform is much more than an application
platform; it is a key component for an operator's future success in  the
booming mobile Internet market," said Ake Persson, president of Ericsson
CDMA  Systems. "It provides operators with a powerful tool  to  bring  a
wide  variety  of  Mobile Internet services to market easily  and  cost-
effectively, differentiating themselves from the competition."

The  CDMA  market  has proven its appetite for Mobile Internet  services
with  a 30 percent penetration rate of all CDMA subscribers in the world
today using mobile Internet. With the personalization afforded for  both
end-user  services and billing, the Ericsson Internet Services  Platform
will  introduce  the  operator  and the  consumer  to  a  new  level  of
flexibility, making the mobile Internet even more attractive then it  is
today.

The  Ericsson  Internet  Services Platform can be  deployed  in  cdmaOne
networks  with  the assurance of a smooth transition to third-generation
cdma2000 networks. The IP-based design enables seamless delivery of many
services  and  applications,  regardless  of  the  access  method,   the
underlying  technology or the end user device. The result is  a  simpler
process   of   launching   and  using  mobile   Internet   applications.
Complementing  its product portfolio, Ericsson also has mobile  Internet
resource  centers in all CDMA markets to assist operators  locally  with
specific services, testing, integration and other deployment needs.

"Ericsson  is  uniquely  positioned  to  offer  operators  CDMA  network
elements  together  with  the Internet Services Platform,  applications,
enablers,  handsets, and integration services," continued  Persson.  "We
enable  operators to deliver the Mobile Internet today and smoothly  and
cost-effectively respond to increased market demand."

Ericsson is the leading communications supplier, combining innovation in
mobility  and  Internet  in creating the new  era  of  mobile  Internet.
Ericsson  provides total solutions covering everything from systems  and
applications to mobile phones and other communications tools. With  more
than   100,000   employees   in  140  countries,   Ericsson   simplifies
