September 23, 2005
Ericsson has won a Swedish Golden Mouse award for its 3G mobile platform. The awards were presented at a ceremony in Stockholm this month.

The Golden Mouse awards aim to stimulate and reward people and companies that have fostered Swedish information technology. Prizes are awarded in four categories: IT product of the year (which Ericsson won), IT company of the year, IT personality of the year and IT promoter of the year.
The ceremony, the ninth annual event, was held this year at Stockholm City Hall on September 12. Sandeep Chennakeshu, head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, and Håkan Svegerud, senior product manager, were there to receive the award.
Chennakeshu says: "The Golden Mouse award is a confirmation of Ericsson Mobile Platforms' 3G technology leadership."
The winning product was Ericsson's U100 3G platform, the basis for many commercial WCDMA/GPRS dual-mode products released on the market from early 2004. It was the highest-selling WCDMA/GPRS platform in the world last year and has maintained that leading position.
The U100 combines well-proven Ericsson GPRS/GSM technology with state-of-the-art WCDMA, and includes a wide range of technology and functionalities essential for the rollout of 3G, such as multimedia, data communication, security and Java.
"U100 is a proven and stable platform that gives our customers the opportunity to build exciting products," Chennakeshu says. "Our platforms are also thoroughly tested for interoperability, ensuring fast launches with stable performance."
The award jury said: "Ericsson has taken the step into the 3G world in full force and its 3G platform has confirmed the company's world-leading position in advanced technology systems. In 2004, more than 30 percent of the world's 3G mobile phones were based on Ericsson's 3G platform."
The jury comprised Lars Dahmén, editor-in-chief of Computer Sweden magazine; Thomas Peterssohn, editor-in-chief of Swedish business magazine Affärsvärlden; Anita Jonsson, manager for IT and telecom at the Swedish Trade Council; Ylva Hambraeus Björling, manager for IT-företagen, a lobby group for Swedish IT companies; and Jan Uddenfeldt, senior vice president at Ericsson.
