Ericsson will manage day-to-day networking services, provisioning and maintenance for the No.3 US carrier's CDMA, iDEN and wireline networks under a seven-year deal.
Sprint yesterday confirmed long-running rumours it is to transfer operation of its networks to Ericsson, marking one of the industry's largest-ever and most significant outsourcing deals. The seven-year deal is worth between US$4.5 billion to US$5 billion and will see about 6,000 Sprint employees transferred to Ericsson from the third quarter. No job cuts are expected.
