Ericsson August 15, 2003:
Ericsson CEO Carl-Henric "Svanberg said Ericsson made 100,000 base stations per year. The main reason for the company's financial struggles in recent years is that debt-burdened telecom operators ceased to invest in new equipment or network upgrades. Last month Ericsson reported a second-quarter operating loss of SEK 200 million (EUR 22.12 million), its 11th straight quarter in the red -- against a SEK 2.5 billion loss in April-June last year. Sales fell 28 percent year-on-year to 27.6 billion crowns.

Nokia, Nortel June 13, 2003:
The debate about which vendor leads the 3G wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) equipment market reignited again this week when Nokia claimed it had overtaken archrival Ericsson as the number one vendor in the sector.
Sari Baldauf, president of Nokia Networks, said, "We currently lead WCDMA rollout in terms of volume, with more than 20,000 base stations deployed." "We have over 30 percent market share in WCDMA and are well on track to reach our target of 35 percent."
Ericsson, meanwhile, claims a 40 percent share of the market and said late last year that it had deployed 10,000 base stations between March 2001 and October 2002.
Scott Wickware, director of UMTS product solutions at Nortel Networks, says "Right now we see ourselves from a pure UMTS perspective sitting around 15 percent and at around 19 percent in terms of CDMA2000 and UMTS".

Ericsson March 05, 2003:
"Ericsson does not predict many changes in supplier relationships, even though operators such as Orange SA, a current Ericsson 3G customer, have stated they are reviewing their vendor options. Any such shifts would not happen for a few years yet, Ericsson management told the Lehman team, and they would be unlikely to affect the Swedish company's clear lead in the WCDMA market, where it holds a near 40 percent market share of existing contracts."
