Talkpool wins 5G contract with Ericsson

As communicated on November 17, Talkpool has reentered the US market and acquired 100% of the shares in Talkpool LLC to meet the high demand for network expertise and services triggered by the 5G network deployments throughout the US and the Caribbean. To support both the US market and the Caribbean the operational company has been relocated to Miami, FL.

Talkpool has now signed a service contract with Ericsson for the delivery of 5G roll out services in Puerto Rico. The project will run at least until the end of 2022 and the contract value for Talkpool will be at least USD 1,5m.

“Talkpool has long experience of delivering mobile network services to vendors and operators in the Americas, in particular Ericsson. We are thrilled to get the opportunity to work with our global partner Ericsson and its latest 5G technology in the Americas region again. We have big plans to invest and grow in this expansive region again and we know from several ongoing negotiations that our services are in high demand”, says Erik Strömstedt, CEO of Talkpool AG

In addition to the significant demand for 5G services, the IoT market in the US is booming and Talkpool has received several requests for IoT products and solutions. Discussions about potential channel sales on the US market through existing partners is also ongoing. Based on this demand, adaptions of selected Talkpool IoT products to the US standard is already in progress.
