Ericsson Leads in Magic Quadrant for LTE Infrastructure 2013

Gartner, Inc. on Thursday positioned Ericsson as an LTE industry leader within the "Leaders" quadrant of its 2013 Magic Quadrant for LTE Infrastructure report for the fourth year in a row.

Gartner, a leading worldwide IT research and advisory firm, evaluated end-to-end vendors of LTE equipment (radio and core) based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision in the LTE market. Ericsson provides heterogeneous network solutions with Wi-Fi integration for small cells, an end-to-end LTE offering with a large footprint, WCDMA and CDMA, together with professional services.

Speaking on the achievement, Thomas Norén, vice president and head of Product Area Radio, Ericsson said: "We are pleased Gartner has recognized us as a leader in the LTE Magic Quadrant yet another year running. We believe this confirms other independent measurements and leading operator reports that Ericsson has the best network performance in the industry.

“We are also the only vendor that has commercial Antenna Integrated Radio products, which deploy quickly and bring further radio coverage benefits that enable operators to provide higher speeds and handle more traffic cost effectively. Ericsson will continue to show leadership in services; for example, we are the leading vendor of VoLTE and LTE Broadcast."
