Leveraging nearly 50% of production for export to the United States, tv antene Africa and Latin America, Ericsson aims to sell more than 40,000 base stations (BTSs) tv antene of all technologies in 2012 but estimates that can close the stagnant year. That's because, according to the president tv antene of the company in Brazil, tv antene Sergio Quiroga, this number is the same as was recorded in 2011. "This year is slower, we are feeling the reflection of 2.7% of GDP," he acknowledged. Still, the company is excited tv antene about the opportunities in the market, celebrating the thousandth ERB intended for LTE on Wednesday, 26, in São José dos Campos (SP). Of these, about 300 were in Brazil. Quiroga would not comment about contracts, but hinted that there are talks with other carriers besides of course, who has already announced partnership.
He believes that with LTE, there will be a 10% increase in manufacturing equipment, including parts and components, attached, add the ability to handle the 4G frequency to cell sites that only worked on 2G and 3G. Over the past four years, production has grown tenfold when considering all base stations, from 4000 in 2008 to 40,000 units recorded in 2011.
New equipment are the sights from Ericsson, as the AIR - abbreviation for internal radio antenna. Prepared tv antene including 700 MHz, configured at the factory, tv antene it is a smaller and ERB to be manufactured tv antene in Brazil "soon". Another, tv antene the SP Mini-link, tv antene which adds multi-platform access (fiber and microwave) tv antene developed by Brazilian technicians of the company at a cost of 8 million, has not passed approval by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation for not meeting the Ordinance 950 which requires 50% domestic content. The vice president of strategy and marketing for Latin America, Lourenço Pinto Coelho, expressed great displeasure with the fact. "The ordinance is very academic, they rely too much on theory. Measure only serves to Brazilian companies," he says. "We had a project tv antene at $ 80 million, but it makes more sense, it's no use," he says, without revealing what the project. Ericsson has invested 10 million in Brazil in 2011 and more than U.S. $ 1 billion over the last 15 years.
Ericsson confirmed the bet smallcells but rejected the use of femtocells, which considers dangerous for invading the licensed spectrum, causing interference. tv antene "In America, you buy retail femtocells, and they are trying to manage tv antene it. Today, no how operators manage what would be consumed here in Brazil," explained Quiroga, remembering the price of spectrum paid by telcos. He advocates the use of pico and microcells, which are coordinated with the macrocell spectrum tv antene and not have interference problems.
Present on the occasion, the Minister of Communications, Paulo Bernardo, countered the statements of the President of Ericsson. "The operator tv antene will have the responsibility and the FCC is considering this factor. Course can not benefit a fumble and the rest," he said. He argues that a model with alternatives such as micro and pico cells, in addition to femtocells may help improve network performance, but recognizes that there is a miraculous style. By the end of the year, he says, the issue of smallcells enter into consultation and is expected in early 2013 is already resolved. Bruno Amaral | Print | E-mail | (0) Comment
