STOCKHOLM -- Ericsson and Vodafone New Zealand are deploying the MINI-LINK Traffic Node in New Zealand. This makes Vodafone New Zealand one of the first operators to deploy the smart microwave node.

With the introduction of more bandwidth demanding services in mobile networks there are several issues that need to be addressed in the transmission network. These are to minimize the impact on operational and capital costs. The Traffic Node concept enables operators with microwave networks to address these issues at a lower cost and with increased network control than previously possible.

"We chose MINI-LINK Traffic Node as it strengthens our traffic control and manageability as well as giving substantial savings in site accommodation cost," says Paul Hallowes, Vodafone New Zealand Radio Engineer.

"We are delighted to have further strengthened our business relationship and our technology leadership," says Sivert Bergman, Vice President and General Manager of Business Unit Transmission and Transport, Ericsson.

The contract between Ericsson and Vodafone New Zealand covers the implementation of MINI-LINK Traffic Node, and product warranty services.
