More precisely, the contract stipulates a delivery of two international telephone exchanges in the most recent Enabler revision to Uzbekistan, a Central Asian country rich in gas reserves. The exchanges will be located in Tashkent and they will support all main country’s communications with the world and the transition traffic in Uzbekistan.

The president of Ericsson Nikola Tesla, Gordana Kovačević comments: “I am very pleased that our sales and marketing efforts are resulting in new jobs for our traditional customers and strengthening of our business partnerships. We have been present in Uzbekistan over many past years and we have always looked for the ways of quality, professional and future oriented cooperation that will support our partners’ prosperity. One of the first exchanges that our company has ever delivered was built in Tashkent in the 1980s. It has been upgraded several times and it is still operative. In today’s complex market environment we continue to help our partners increase their competitiveness.”

“Ericsson Nikola Tesla has been present in Uzbekistan for many years and we are extremely pleased that our activities in this market are continued. The new contract is opening possibilities for us to deepen our partnership with our Uzbekistan customers, especially when the most recent wireline technology is concerned”, says Josip Jakovac, company vice-president and director of CIS sales and marketing.
