Ericsson and Kuban GSM announced signing an agreement on expansion of GSM network in Krasnodar city and Krasnodar region at the south of Russia. Within the framework of the agreement, the Swedish company will ship its partner 29 base stations of the RBS 2000 family and increase the capacity of the switch.

Ericsson will also provide the latest R 7.0 version of its software.

On top of that, Kuban GSM will deploy the up-to-date Ericsson Prepaid Light system for pre-payment of mobile communications services. It will also deploy DXX digital transport system, which drastically increases performance and reliability of the communication system.
