Clearwire, the US-based 4G broadband services provider has decided to outsource the management of its 4G network to Ericsson.
The move helps the telecommunications company save a lot of money in costs while leveraging Ericsson's best practices, tools and processes to maximize efficiencies and provide continued network quality at reduced operating costs.
While Clearwire will retain ownership of network assets, Ericsson will look after network engineering, operations and maintenance for Clearwire's core, transmission and access networks. Ericsson will take on around 700 employees from Clearwire as part of the agreement. Ericsson formed a similar network management partnership with Sprint in 2009, which is Clearwire's largest shareholder and wholesale partner.
