Europe's Largest Public Wi-Fi Network

Ericsson has signed a contract with Inspired Broadcast Networks, IBN, for deployment of 5,000 public Wi-Fi Hot Spots. Inspired Broadcast Networks, a subsidiary of LLG, the largest operator of coin operated entertainment terminals in the UK, has today its digital entertainment platform installed in more than 3,000 locations.

Ericsson will equip the entertainment terminals with public Wi-Fi Hot
Spot capabilities using Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) for backhaul
of traffic. The use of DSL enables rapid massive coverage with only
minor infrastructure investments.

"The opportunity that this network offers the world, matches
Ericsson's corporate strategy within Mobile & Broadband Internet
communications. We are proud to lead the way in this area and look
forward to continued activities with IBN, BT and Intel," says Ove
Anebygd, Vice President Broadband Access, Ericsson.

Together with Ericsson, BT and Intel, IBN will create a network named
"The Cloud" planned to expand to 30,000 Hot Spots over the next three
years. IBN will sell wholesale capacity to branded service providers
like mobile and broadband operators as well as pay-as-you-go services
at the Hot Spots.

Ericsson's Wi-Fi solution gives broadband operators and service
providers the ability to offer their customers wireless Hot Spot
access at the same speeds that they have in their broadband connected
homes or offices. It also offers mobile operators the opportunity to
extend the truly mobile "always-on" data services of 2G/3G mobile
networks with the higher speeds offered locally by Wi-Fi in public
Hot Spots.

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.
