<%=company1%> (Stockholm, Sweden) has replaced BellSouth Mobility's existing TDMA infrastructure on schedule in Chattanooga and Nashville, TN and Baton Rouge, LaFayette, and New Orleans, LA. The five markets are the first of 17 in which Ericsson will provide and install switches, base stations, software, services, and handsets to upgrade BellSouth with systems that are ready to migrate to third generation and mobile Internet. Changeouts are scheduled to continue at the rate of one per month throughout 2000.
