August 29, 2007 -- Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) will provide a comprehensive spare parts management service for the GSM network of Telefónica Mexico. Ericsson will manage multivendor spare-parts supply and logistics for radio access, transmission and core network.

These services components will be applied to Ericsson equipment as well as third-party product vendors of transmission and power. This will reduce the complexity in Telefonica's multivendor support environment, as Ericsson will act as single interface towards other vendors.
