In addition, four additional British-based telecoms site-build partners \u2013 Beacon Communication Services Limited, Circet Wireless Limited, M Group Limited and WHP Telecoms Limited \u2013 will support delivery of the vital work.<\/p>\n<p>The overall project is described as being &#8220;<em>one of Europe and the UK\u2019s largest privately-funded infrastructure builds<\/em>&#8221; and one that will help boost the UK economy by &#8220;<em>up to<\/em>&#8221; <strong>\u00a3102bn<\/strong> between 2025 and 2035, creating as many as <strong>13,000 jobs<\/strong> in engineering and construction (74% of the roles will be outside of London and the South East). But it&#8217;s always wise to take such big economic claims with a pinch of salt, as they can be hard to prove.<\/p>\n<p>The deal was not unexpected as both Ericsson and Nokia were strategic suppliers to both operators before the merger, which was naturally something that needed updating post-merger to reflect the combined network strategy.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Max Taylor, CEO, VodafoneThree, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We said we would deliver at pace and, just a few months in, we are delighted to announce our strategic partners, Ericsson and Nokia, that will work with us to deliver our ambition of building the UK\u2019s best network. They bring the scale and expertise needed to accelerate the delivery of a resilient, secure, world-class and future-ready network, and together, we are laying the foundations for the UK\u2019s digital future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>B\u00f6rje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to partner with VodafoneThree as their primary vendor to power them with the most advanced programmable network products, software and solutions in the world. Trusted high-performing programmable networks are critical to success for the UK\u2019s digital economy.

We are pleased that VodafoneThree has chosen our industry-leading network solutions to build a future-proof <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> Standalone network across the UK to meet the needs of customers today and as the AI supercycle accelerates.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As part of the agreement, Ericsson will deploy its next generation, high-performing <strong>Radio Access Network<\/strong> (RAN) and core network solutions across the UK, reaching over 10,000 sites. This is in addition to modernising existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> and 5G infrastructure. Meanwhile, Nokia will supply equipment from its ultra-performance RAN portfolio to approximately 7,000 sites and will also &#8220;<em>modernise part of VodafoneThree\u2019s voice core<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>The two partners make up the majority, but not the entirety (some of the missing bit may reflect Vodafone&#8217;s OpenRAN deployment), of VodafoneThree&#8217;s network build, which will culminate in a greater number of sites. The result should not only deliver better mobile coverage for consumers, but also a more reliable network, with more capacity and of course faster mobile broadband speeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 7:43am<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We understand both deals are worth a combined \u00a32bn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile operator VodafoneThree (Vodafone and Three UK) has this morning announced that they&#8217;ve signed two multi-billion-pound and 8-year long partnerships with network technology suppliers Ericsson and Nokia.
