Ericsson today announced it signed a contract with Guangxi Mobile
Communications Company in China to provide the provincial IP backbone network
spanning 8 cities in Guangxi region.
This is Ericsson's first Packet Backbone Network contract with Guangxi Mobile.

Upon completion of the project, Guangxi Mobile's network will be equipped to
