Ericsson will be in charge for a lot of stuff as the SmarTone-Vodafone selected Ericsson as its sole supplier according to the contract they made that started on April 3, 2008. Ericsson will serve the Hongkong’s number 4th mobile phone operator in these kinds of task:

4. Systems integration
5. Spare parts management service
6. Support services
7. Network deployment and integration.
