World's first commercial 4G/LTE site unveiled in Sweden by Ericsson and TeliaSonera

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN, May 25 (MARKET WIRE) --

Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and TeliaSonera have unveiled the world's first
commercial Long-Term Evolution (LTE) site in Stockholm, Sweden - an
important milestone in making the mobile digital highway a reality. LTE
will transform the mobile-broadband user experience, providing the
ultra-high data speeds needed for services such as internet TV, mobile
video blogging, on-line video games and the mobile office environment.

The site will be part of a commercial network scheduled to go live in
2010, bringing data rates far above what is possible in today's mobile
broadband networks and allowing Stockholmers to stay connected and enjoy
seamless, high-quality, online services even while on the move.

Ulf Ewaldsson, Vice President and Head of Product Area Radio at Ericsson,
says: "The unveiling of this site shows that LTE is no longer the story
of the future; it is the story of today. Ericsson, as a leader in LTE
development, is proud to work with TeliaSonera to bring a commercial LTE
network to life."

Erik Hallberg, Senior Vice President and Head of TeliaSonera Mobility
Services in Sweden, says: "Being at the forefront of broadband evolution
means our customers will be the first to benefit from this groundbreaking
technology. This first LTE site is a key step towards further enhancing
Sweden's fastest mobile broadband network."

LTE enables unprecedented performance in terms of peak data rates,
spectrum efficiency and delay. Ericsson has already demonstrated peak
rates of 160Mbps. LTE can be deployed both in new and existing frequency
bands and is designed to minimize the cost of network operation and
maintenance.

The evolution of mobile broadband is an integral factor in building
sustainable cities that minimize the use of energy and reduce CO2
emissions.
