We will provide our customers with higher data speeds and capacity, while at the same time improving our care for the environment. The process of selecting our partner was complex and challenging for all of the candidates involved, as we set very high standards, tested the performance of both devices and the network, and drove a hard and intensive negotiation. We chose Ericsson, which was the most compatible with our vision of network, technology, and service development.

Anders Runevad, President, Ericsson Western & Central Europe, said: Ericsson was selected as the sole supplier to Telekom Slovenije following a very tough and detailed period of trials, technical questions and negotiations. We won this contract by showing that Ericsson's solutions respond to Telekom Slovenije's complete requirements. To be the chosen partner is very satisfying. He added: The Ericsson forecast released in June sees the total number of mobile subscriptions globally reaching around 9 billion by 2017. With this new network Telekom Slovenije recognizes the need to focus on this growth both now and into the future.

The gradual implementation will commence at Telekom Slovenije at the end of November this year, with the investment for this year estimated at 2.5 million. In a few months all of the major cities in Slovenia will have LTE coverage. Telekom Slovenije carries on the tradition of the technologically most advanced operator in Slovenia providing the fastest and most reliable services.
